CORSAIR has launched its latest gaming mice, the M55 and M55 WIRELESS, catering to a broad spectrum of gamers. These new additions to the CORSAIR lineup offer versatility and performance at an accessible price point, making them suitable for both competitive players and casual enthusiasts alike.
The M55 series boasts a symmetrical design that accommodates various grip styles, including claw, fingertip, and palm. This universal shape, coupled with textured side grips, ensures a comfortable and secure hold during intense gaming sessions. The compact size of these mice makes them ideal for gamers with different hand sizes and preferences.
The wired M55 weighs in at a mere 55 grams, allowing for swift and precise movements. Its wireless counterpart, the M55 WIRELESS, tips the scales at 85 grams with the battery included. Both models feature 100% PTFE low-friction skates, enabling smooth gliding across various mousepad surfaces.
For gamers on the move, the M55 series offers excellent portability. The M55 WIRELESS is particularly travel-friendly, boasting an impressive battery life of up to 185 hours on a single AA battery. It utilises SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS v1.5 technology, ensuring a stable and low-latency connection for extended gaming sessions.
In terms of performance, the M55 and M55 WIRELESS don’t disappoint. The wired version offers a maximum DPI of 16,000, while the wireless model pushes this to 24,000 DPI. Both mice feature a dedicated DPI button for on-the-fly adjustments, catering to different gaming scenarios and personal preferences.
Customisation is another strong suit of the M55 series. With six programmable buttons configurable through CORSAIR’s iCUE software, users can tailor their mouse to suit specific gaming needs without overwhelming casual users with unnecessary complexity.
The M55 and M55 WIRELESS sport a minimalist design that should blend seamlessly with most gaming setups. This aesthetic choice reflects CORSAIR’s commitment to creating products that appeal to a wide range of users.
Both models are now available through CORSAIR’s webstore and authorised retailers worldwide. They come with a two-year warranty and are supported by CORSAIR’s global customer service network.
The M55 series seems to strike a good balance between performance and accessibility. While they may not boast the most cutting-edge features, their versatility and reasonable price point could make them an attractive option for many gamers looking to upgrade their setup without breaking the bank.
