![]() Corsair recommends a “recent generation Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 processor” or similar. You may need to upgrade your CPU to take full advantage of this feature. Why not ship the mouse with what the company calls “hyper-polling” enabled by default? For starters, it’s because upping the times per second the mouse sends data back to your PC by 8x can have a surprising impact on your CPU cycles. You need to jump into the company’s iCue software to change that (you can also choose intermediate options like 2,000, 4,000, or even below 1,000). Interestingly, the mouse comes out of the box running at just 1,000 Hz. And indeed, Corsair claims the higher rate “registers and transmits your movements and clicks up to 8x faster.” Of course, the real question is whether most people’s movements and reactions are fast enough to benefit from a mouse pinging your PC 8x faster, or if 1,000 Hz is in fact enough. Given that most mice for years have been “stuck” at 1,000 Hz, 8,000 Hz certainly sounds like a major improvement. Razer threw down the 8K polling gauntlet early this year with the Viper 8K, and Corsair soon followed with the 8,000 Hz Sabre RGB Pro, enabled by an SoC in the mouse that Corsair calls Axon. 8,000 Hz Polling on the Corsair M65 RGB Ultra Time will have to tell whether it’s a novel feature or something I’ll work into my everyday work/gameflow. ![]() ![]() But this is also a quite foreign type of mouse movement, and I didn’t have the M65 RGB Ultra long enough before having to write this up to really get used to using the gestures. Corsair’s suggestions to use some of these gestures in games to reload or peek around a corner sound promising, as does the idea of using the gestures outside of games. But I found left and right pretty easy and intuitive. Obviously, tilting left or right is far easier than forward or back forward, in particular, is cumbersome. You can map actions to four different “tilt gestures,” left, right, forward, and back. Interestingly, the six-axis motion sensor in the mouse has another benefit. Like Corsair’s other recent wired mice, it features a six-foot USB cable that’s wrapped in paracord, which feels a bit looser and lighter than more traditional braided cables. The main left/right switches are made by Omron and use light rather than metal contact to trigger, for lower latency and faster actuation. The mouse features eight well-placed programmable buttons, including a big dedicated sniper button on the left to drop your DPI down for those precise headshots. If you’ve never used or owned one of the previous M65 iterations before, the M65 RGB Ultra is a medium-sized mouse (which I find perfect for my medium-sized hands), that is 117 mm front to back, 77 mm wide at its widest, and 39 mm tall. Personally, I like the mouse at its lightest, but it’s nice to have options. Three sections on the bottom screw off, revealing weights that can be added to or removed, letting you adjust the rodent’s weight between 97 and 111 grams as well as adjusting its center of gravity. Like previous models, the M64 RGB Ultra also has an adjustable weight system. I didn’t find this to make any difference in gameplay, but it certainly looks more natural. These are subtle changes, but they're helpful - especially during long gaming sessions or during the summer when even the AC can’t keep your claw hand cool.Ĭorsair has also moved the mounting area for the cable from its previous position, a bit off to the left on the front of the Pro mouse, to the center on the newest Ultra model. ![]() The new M65 RGB Ultra has textured sides and a similar finish on the rubberized scroll wheel. ![]() The older mouse (top right in the image above) had smooth sides and a modestly textured scroll wheel. 5.08 x 2.76 x 1.69 inches (117.0 x 77.0 x 39.0 mm)Įxterior Design of the Corsair M65 RGB UltraĬorsair also made a couple of appreciated exterior changes over the previous 2019-era M65 Pro RGB. ![]()
