i havent seen much on here since those corsair videos were posted a while back. now that they are available, how are people liking them? i ordered one the other night because i thought the thumb button configuration looked a lot more natural than the naga's. should be here on thursday, i really hope it works out, my deathadder just isnt cutting it for the ridiculous amount of keybinds necessary for swtor.
 
I have a serious hardon for the M60, but solid reviews of these mice is hard to find.
 
My buddy got one for Christmas and hates it. Says the software is horrible. He can't figure out how to map buttons on the keyboard to the mouse. He says that some keys are crazy easy to hit accidentally, while others you need a death grip from hell to press.

His biggest issue is definitely the mapping of keyboard keys to the mouse. Kinda defeats the purpose if you can't.
 
I just got in from picking up the M60.
Initial impressions; Excellent build quality, excellent feel. Software seems simple and effective so far.

I had the deathadder for years, but recently its been acting up. Keys are harder to depress and I found myself holding the mouse from the side at a 45 degree angle instead of straight on to properly hit the keys. Over the past week, my hand has been cramping terribly.

This is my first claw mouse, and Im very impressed. It was between the Corsair and the RAT7, but choose the Corsair over the RAT's multiple issues(and half the price). Its a perfect weight, very solid and very smooth. No lift off issues, or any issues of any kind.
The M1 and M2 keys have an excellent click.
My only gripes is the mouse wheel, I would have liked it to have a more weighted feel, or even free spin like the logitech MX.
That and the sniper button...it should really be another half inch forward and require much, much less pressure to activate. Should be the option to toggle.

I got mine for $57CDN from canadacomputers. Overall its great. Id like to see a full hand mouse from Corsair in the future, but I cant say its anything but excellent.

Is it the best mouse? I cant make that claim. But it is the best mouse I have ever used.

just got my m90.

the software program is the biggest piece of shit i have ever used. there is absolutely no guide or explanation on how to use it and after 2 hours of fiddling it still wont work in swtor no matter which button i assign to what or whatever im binding it to a keyboard key it doesnt matter. also like others have said the buttons are incredibly stiff and while the button design looked intriguing the reality is that many of them are inaccessible, gonna return it i think.

this is my first corsair product, ive heard so many good things and all their products seem to get great reviews. this is a huge disappointment to me, i wanted to love this mouse. i might even be able to forgive the stiff thumb buttons, but the software just doesnt work with swtor. my deathadders doesnt either, the only button it will recognize is if i have it set to mouse 4 and 5 on the thumb buttons, but my buddy has a naga and his works fine although at this point im skeptical of any mouse. research on the issue with the m90 didnt come up with anything except a shit load of stuff about other mice having the exact same problem.
 
I really like the shape for a claw grip actually and... well, that's all I can really say in it's favor.

Even while working at it it is really hard to hit any thumb key without activating the right click due to huge differential in power required (erring on the thumb buttons being too stiff).

You can't map a key press to a button click, which defeats the purpose at least for me.

It is quite heavy, so if that's your thing than yay, but I think most will find it too heavy.

And then my final straw that made me send it back, I couldn't middle click with it. The wheel is really low down in the mouse, in the plane of the left click. I did not realize how disadvantageous this was until trying it. Add in that it is a really resistant middle click and suddenly I'm hitting four times to get a click where before I was hitting once. If you don't use the middle click this mouse may work, but for me it was a major pain.
