CORSAIR - M55 RGB PRO Wired Optical Gaming Mouse - Black

I bought this mouse for $20 and for that price I think it was a steal. The mouse is solid for my every day use but also has style and features that the gamer in me appreciates. At a quick glance, the M55 RGB PRO is more traditional looking than most gaming mice. It is smooth and symmetrical (meaning both sides are the same if you cut it down the middle) so it will work great for both left and right handers. Tip: to switch to left handed mode (without using software), hold the 2 left side buttons for 5 seconds and wait for 3 flashes of the Corsair logo light. To switch back to right handed mode, hold the 2 right side buttons for 5 seconds. The mouse is plug-and-play on my Windows 10 computer. I just had to plug one end of the 6ft braided USB cable into an available USB 2.0 or 3.0 port and the mouse was ready to go. However, to take full advantage of all the features the mouse has to offer, I had to download and install the iCUE software from Corsair's web site. With it, I was be able to customize buttons, LED lights and travel sensitivity (dpi). The software can be frustrating hard to use at first but I stuck with it and reaped the benefits. The mouse is lightweight and fit comfortably in my medium adult hand. The button clicks felt responsive and effortless. The wheel was quiet and did not rattle. The side grips are textured plastic that I actually prefer over rubber that tend to scratch and get dirty easily. On the top side of the mouse, just below the wheel is a small DPI LED indicator light and below that, a DPI button for cycling through 3 to 5 sensitivity presets that can be customized in the software. Going from using wireless mice for a couple of decades, I had concerns about the cable getting in the way of movements but I had not noticed any tuck or pull from the flexible cable. Overall, I have been every happy with the M55 RGB PRO.

Size: Ideal for a mid sized hands. Can easily access the side and buttons provided on the inner side. Clicks: Gives a good feel for both left and right clicks. DPI: Decent for a new gamer. Overall a satisfying experience.

I got the mouse on sale for only $30. The mouse is definitely worth the price and I like it way better then other razor mice. I have had it for about 2 weeks now and no problems have yet occurred yet. The one thing I am a bit mad about is that at the top of the mouse it shows no gap in between the two sides and also the way the wire is going out. You can clearly see a difference in the pictures.

It is smooth to the touch. Very responsive and braided cord is a plus.

I bought this mouse for some light gaming. It works fine; it has two extra buttons on each side. When in standard mode, the right side buttons are off by default, though they can be enabled. The Corsair ICUE software is not the most intuitive, but it is pretty easy to set up multiple profiles for different games. In terms of use, it works well. It is easy to adjust the sensitivity on the fly with the dedicated button. That said this is not a weighted mouse. Compared to a higher end gaming mouse, it is very light. The weight is not adjustable (no removable weights to fine tune the feel). I could see wanting a few more buttons to map and increased weight, but for what I paid, it is a very good mouse and much better than the non-gaming mouse I was using before.

Switching to this from a wider mouse was such a great decision. I work from home and this makes it more comfortable than the mouse I had before. You can never go wrong with a wired mouse but I do suggest buying a mouse bungee with this because it has made my work flow easier.

I work in finance. I spend a lot of time using my Corsair K70 Keyboard and M55 Wired Mouse on spreadsheets, graphs, modeling, and all MS office platforms. I started using trackballs followed by mice in 1972 and since then I have used just about every variation since introduction (basic, wireless, gaming, all variations). I purchased this mouse as a companion to my new Corsair K70 keyboard that replaced a well used ergonomic keyboard and wired MS mouse. What I like: 1. Wired mice don't run out of batteries when you need them the most. 2. All features are adjustable. 3. The size is perfect for my hand (medium/large) and the response is positive, with no latency. 4. The mouse doesn't take up much space on my workstation. 5. The price was right compared to other models on the market. 6. Settings are configurable using the iCUE interface along side my K70 RGB MK.2 keyboard. What can improve: 1. This is perfect, change nothing. For my rig and application this mouse does everything I need and like capable of quite a bit more.

The M55 RGB PRO is priced very well and you will be getting more than you would expect. Besides the simple yet nice RGB, the mouse feels natural in your hand, even if you have larger hands. The cord quality is nice, I doubt there will be any tears. The cord is also long and comes with a velcro strap if you need to manage it to prevent a mess. The programable buttons on each side are definitely worth taking advantage of, right out of the box they come set up as forward/return making tasks as simple as browsing the internet a tad easier. The preprogrammed cursor speeds are also worth checking out since they just add another great feature to the mouse. Overall: great quality mouse for such a price, comfortable to hold and feels natural. Yes I have not owned the mouse for a long time so I cannot review the durability, however if I were to guess I'd assume it will stick around for a while.
