Corsair M95 MMO Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First Look

[@max10bolt]

Yeah dude Linus awesome video. Just wanted to let you know that I check your channel everyday for new videos because you are a very well spoken person

[@reddevil028]

i like the axe in the background for when things go wrong ... :P

[@wereid1978]

I bought this mouse almost 4 years ago and it's still in good shape and functions as well as it did out of the box.

[@dannyboone81]

I was an early adopter of Corsairs peripherals. I had the HS1A Headset. It was a good headset but it had a major flaw. The headset could fold up real nice for travel, but the joints that allowed it to do that didn't hold up well. this was after a year and a half but still under warranty. I sent my headset in and got a Vengeance 1300 back. Corsair is a great company for sure and they make great stuff. They are new in accessories but they are getting better in that part of the market.

[@Leonard_Lewis]

I am an owner of the M90 and i have found it to be an excellent mouse in my use. My uses are fps gaming, database design, adobe photoshop and general multi-tasking. My sister is switching from her logitech wireless mouse to the M95 as sh says it makes her do her power point presentations and laboratory accreditation work 60% faster she says. The M90 is IMO, the perfect size, response time and weight for an adult. So i am sure the M95 will be great too.

[@Tullerion]

g700 is incredible, been using 1 for over a year, its pretty large and the layout and feel is perfect

[@Music42Ever]

the 'up and down butons' are actually the dpi switching buttons and your 'dpi button' is actually the dpi profile switch

[@turambar304]

I just recently picked up the M95 and so far freaking love it! Super fast and smooth with lots of features to mess with. People said that the software for it was pretty weird to mess with but I don't think its that bad. Super nice mouse. I paired it with the K90 Mech. keyboard too which is super awesome as well. Love them!

[@AzumiRM]

That's actually a lot more respectable looking than some of the other gaming mouses. Definitely something I would use. The black one anyway.

[@joshtunney6674]

These mice have really caught my eye recently, something with that many buttons on the side would be great and Not just for MMO's. I have a very strange configuration for FPS games its my own and only one other person that I know of on the planet uses it. Right Mouse Button = Forward, Left CTRL = Backwards, Z = Left Strafe, X = Right Strafe, LEFT SHIFT = Duck, C = Walk, and LEFT ALT = Reload. I have used this religiously for years. These extra buttons would provide much needed customization 4 me

[@LucasJodokast]

i got one of these after i had 5 Razer Hex Moba's die in the space of 5 months, over 6 years later & its still going strong, i even have a spare unopened one for when it finally dies, the side buttons are second to none

[@MrKristian252]

i should stop drinking 14 energy drinks a week and spend money on this instead..

[@Basedandlainpilled]

X3

[@crowcore]

Are the side buttons less mushy than they were on the M90 ? At CES 2013 you said Corsair modified them slightly.

[@MergyX]

I've bought & returned this mouse. Hopefully this helps: 1: This mouse is insanely heavy, i cannot stress that enough. It's heavy to the point where you lose all accuracy, and it becomes useless. Only buy this if you are used to Heavy mice. 2: The white versions glossy material gets trashed by hands under normal conditions in 1-2 days flat. You need to clean this mouse every single day, no joking. 3: The Buttons are very hard to press if you don't click them "dead on" in the center.

[@DarknessessB11]

The naos 8200 doesnt feel cheap but is really light in weight, mine had a irregural grain like sand on the finish but overall feels good in my hands.

[@LtDjOwns]

I got the m90 and it took a long time to get use to the buttons and how hard they were to click at the beginning. So it's probably the same with this m95. Would I say it was worth the buy? Maybe, I do enjoy it, the macros I can make with it are cool and since I have no experience with the naga I can't say anything against it but it may be the better mouse with button reaching but I'm pretty sure I can say the m90 is the most comfortable mouse I've ever used. I'd assume the same for the m95

[@ianmarais1]

R.A.T 9 can adjust the length with a shaft to a pretty long mouse. I have hands as big as Slick and I'm looking to get it, it might be a bit old, but it's got a 5600 dpi lazer which is more then enough, it's very solidly built so yes there is a mouse for Slick.

[@Metman2J]

I think I need to know that too, the only ones I have found that I can palmgrip are the trackball mice.

[@X20c3ntX]

I'd personally get the m95 because most of razers mouse don't last so long from what I've seen in my entourage. On the other hand I've never seen anyone having lots of problem with corsair. And I really liked the feel of it IRL. I have medium-large hands just to give you an idea.

[@bleedinsixcolours]

What Mouse did you have before it? Do you recommend it for everyday desktop use or is it just for gaming.. Thinking of picking one up, or even an M95.

[@FoguoxMusic]

Love Corsair... They make AMAZING Products

[@ItsDredj]

I hear the side buttons on the M65/95 are easier to actuate then the old versions, can you confirm this, Linus?

[@TheMinecraftStarWars]

This or the G502? I'm looking at a mouse good for FPS, with ability to have macros as well. For stuff like Day Z where I want to be able to raise my gun without moving off WASD. (Situations get tense) Or be able to melee from my mouse.

[@fchb1239]

wow the last comment was in 2015 but who is HERE IN 2019!?!?

[@Brandazzo22]

The white m95's glossy shell makes my hand sweat like crazy which normally never happens. I'm going to exchange the white one for the black one. Probably something you guys should look out for

[@Brandazzo22]

No problem *****​ Glad I was able to try the white version so I could give you some useful info. I originally owned the black M90 before hand and loved the metal feel and how comfortable. Microcenter had the white one on sell for half off so I thought it was a win win but it was more like swim swim.... in sweat lol. Did you get the black M95 or something else? I've been using the Logitech G502 lately myself

[@DarknessessB11]

The sofware was broken to say the least, thats why i returned the m90, now i got a mionix naos 8200 and im very impresed with it.

[@LynWildwoodGames]

Go to the re-uploaded version of the live show they did on December 21 and then in the description, click the time-link where it says "My first twinkie." A viewer sent him a box of twinkies before they disappeared off of the shelves. He "unboxed" them before he and Slick each tried one.

[@IIIRuin]

Hey Linus when will you do a first look at the new Corsair K70?

[@NuclearNinja1979]

Well, they transmit sensor data too, but the amount is negligible, so yeah. Runs the same on 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0. The only weird thing is that USB 3.0 can act up with peripherals sometimes...

[@emacg6]

I would love to see size comparisons to other mice in mice reviews. Slick's hand is nice, but I don't actually know how big it is.

[@PTNLemay]

Linus, I know you did a quick overview on a metal mouse-pad once. I've heard that the best ones out there are bronze, but I don't know of any brands. Could you do an overview/unboxing of a bronze/copper mouse pad, if they exist.

[@shudahknive]

is the mionix naos 8200 really good? does it feel cheap? good build quality? all i know is it is ergonomic/comfortable.

[@sahilsvision]

Do you think the white since it's glossy will be annoying cause it will stick to your hand when it sweats?

[@Hobo_X]

Can you guys PLEASE do a pretty in-depth analysis and comparison of this mouse to some of your guys' other favorite mice and other MMO mice? Corsair mice always look great but I hear nothing but complaints about them.

[@vlefteris]

3:44 woah!! a giant jumped in! LOL! I love this mouse, I have the Logitech G700s and it's good but the side buttons on M95 are brilliantly positioned!!! Want one now!!

[@erik7654]

It'd be nice if you plugged in mice during mouse reviews. Would like to see any applicable/aforementioned LEDs...

[@TekOverclocked]

dec-29-2015 i am about to buy this mouse had to listen to linus for his review

[@mitzio948]

april-6-2016 same here

[@dethrokk1]

The Corsair mice are great, however if you're looking to use it for an MMO (i.e. World of Warcraft), the thumb buttons are difficult to get used to (especially if you're switching from a Razer Naga like myself). I just feel like some of the buttons, like the ones farther back toward the joint of your thumb, are too hard to hit at times when you really need them. I've sense switched back to a new Naga and I have a Corsair mouse just going to waste. :(

[@robinp420]

The buttons to control DPI are actually the ones in the front left corner.

[@OMAHA2231]

when you click show more, I bet there is a link that says "BUY HERE NOW" and links to NCIX...

[@SimpleSock]

I just got the M95 and I'm just wondering if there is a way to bind the "back" button to that big side button? It's unbound by default, and I'm currently just using a backspace binding, but the back function works better.

[@Kurizo]

Really waiting on those K95 and K70's

[@chronofusion]

Yeap..I've been LOVING my razer naga for months. severely helped my W.o.w. multitasking during fights.

[@ZZZeyad]

when is the release date for the K70 and K95?

[@Beezkneez42]

hes sponsered by amd too, also he doesn't push ads for either in a graphics card video. Its impossible to be a reviewer and not have your sponsers conflict with content sometimes. He is sponsered by cooler master, this video is a corsair mouse, bad example but he does a lot of things like that its unavoidable. He does a good job remaining unbiased in my opinion.

[@Xerxes326]

i have to agree, some people do use all the buttons, however they're placed so akwardly. something like like the logitech m600 i believe and razer naga 2014 is more pratctical

[@tom5243]

It depends on what youre looking at..With light white is every color, but black is the absence. With something like paint white is the absence and black is every color...

[@LikeAndFavBF3]

Please linus do the unboxing of the gx1000 eagle eye rog mouse. Iwant to hear youre opinion on it.

[@spiceptergames5118]

still using this mouse. ;)

[@travismcshane5679]

It's meant to take you to the search results for this product on the NCIX site.

[@DarkCloud360]

When is the K70 comming out?

[@e2e2e]

There needs to be some sorta keyboard shootout video, same with the mice

[@dumplinx117]

Hey Linus, can you guys please make a video about what mice Slick can use, and like, I think that would be very good, as having big hands can be an equally huge problem when looking for mice. Thanks for the awesome videos, keep it up! :)

[@TGamer36]

Please talk about this on the next live stream!

[@joenathan574]

This is so amazing! Linus when can I buy it off NCIX?

[@MassacrX99]

didnt you guys unbox this already? or was that the m65

[@dgnikon]

i like the hybrid concept of the logitech g700 it can be used in both wireless and wired mode, which comes in pretty handy :)

[@PhantomMattcraft]

I have to M90 mouse right now (just got it today and im loving it)

[@typical_moggie]

If you are going for a theme the mouse should go well with an nzxt phantom white on your desk, white keyboards however are rather rare :S

[@gandalfthefancy5751]

Late night linus is always the best. !!

[@HighwayUK]

I was looking at the Logitech g700... as that layout seemed perfect but also seems a bit small on the videos.

[@iGlyphix]

Not that it makes much difference but I believe he said the two top buttons (on the far left corner of the left click were "default back or forward". If by that he meant back and forward as in webpages etc he was wrong. They're, by default, for switching between DPI settings on your current profile (which can all be changed). (Although if that was what he meant by that I'm sorry but I was just making sure. the actual buttons for back and forward are located just before/above the location of the default Fire Button ((the button that slows DPI for sniping)) which is the vertical button that is angled slightly) Finding it really hard to adjust to this mouse, before this I've only used £10-£20 gaming mouses and the extra weight and angle my hand sits is all new to me and I hope over time I get used to it. (I'm using the black one)

[@kght222]

that is a good question, IS there a mouse that slick can palm. maybe an answer on the next live show?

[@gumonthepavement]

I've got both R.A.T. 7 and Naga... Should I get R.A.T. 9 and/or Naga Epic to work?

[@valivondtru]

This or Razer Naga? I've used a friend's Naga and i really like the ergonomics, but i don't necessarily like how it looks. I play Starcraft 2 a lot and i want a nice looking mouse which performs great

[@david179057]

waiting for the K95!

[@systemofadumb1]

i have big hands and i use a razr deathadder and it fits my hand great. i have to claw it slightly but only about an inch between the arch of my finger and the mouse.

[@luckypullR9]

i have overly large hands id like to know about the bigger mouse that slick can palm

[@koreankid28]

Really like the review of the mouse! I'm debating between this, Logitech g700s, CM Storm Inferno. I'm leaning towards this more.

[@TwissNL]

do you have any knolage of a left handed mmo mouse except the razer one that we havent heared of in a while? if yes please tell me i have been looking around for one and cant seem to find any.

[@Real_Elemeno]

thats almost the same build as mine, and i have 0 lag.. , may be your monitor? some lcd's have lag youll notice when using input devices

[@Mariusz803]

I hope they fixed how horribly difficult it was to press the side thumb buttons, that plus the ridiculous heavy weight made me return my M90. Would have liked to see this one be made lighter. Aside from that i never had issues with the software for the short time i used it. Solid build quality.

[@ShaneyPo0]

Have you tried the V2K's?...

[@rogermorse_]

is it possible to program one of the buttons to change on-the-fly the sensitivity / dpi ? More or less like the 'precision' button you find on the M65 or the RAT9 (which I am using at the moment but hate this wireless bad connection). Means (in case I am writing too bad) that while you press, the sensitivity is lower, for sniping - photoediting occasions. The M65 has a dedicated button. Does the M95 feature this via driver? Sorry if you said it in the video.

[@EdouardDubois]

DO let us know what mouses Slick can palm! I have giant man-hands too and I'm always on the look out for mice that can fit me comfortably.

[@hegemege]

I really need to test this somewhere, second Naga is already worn down with a sloppy scrollwheel, double clicking buttons etc

[@LoftySkinner]

Probably just the Func MS-3 and 1 - 3 others. I also like them big, and the Func MS-3 is probably the best.

[@mukul235]

when r u going to unbox the twinkies u have have seen them in all u videos

[@DraughtHaze]

Actually he is correct. Black is the absence of colour whilst white is every colour.

[@fernan2fbp025]

what`s the realtionship between an axe and a video card explain me?

[@shh532]

I've heard the Feenix Nacsita is a really good giant man hand palming mouse.

[@ady9362]

Can you change the colour of the led ?

[@DoWieFX]

I have the m60. Such a awesome mouse.

[@phenomanII]

Sooo, Is there a mouse Slick can use with palm grip?!

[@alexandereden3524]

Linus get us a video or some info on the k70!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MusicalAndTall]

Gosh I hope Linus gives us news about the Nvidia 700 series!

[@krithlolz]

Any release date for the k95?

[@Chargersball1]

i didnt like the m65 is this one good for fps gaming.

[@KN100]

If anyone wants a cheap mouse with that 8200dpi sensor - search for the Anker gaming mouse. It's cheap as hell and is REALLY, REALLY nice.

[@OverlordKai87]

will there be a day you unboxing that twinkies on your shelf? if not you should probly send it to me I'd gladly be unboxing it for u.

[@EkeDeke]

cant remember if both or just one of them is a contrast not a collor, but evryone still call them collors

[@Verithiell]

Is cable braided?

[@inubr0]

It is a laser mouse and lasers are still not on the level of optical sensors when it comes to accuracy, tracking and malfunction speeds. If you are already buying a mouse specifically for gaming, go get a good one like a Logitech G400, a Zowie AM/EC1/EC2.

[@Antstar12]

Looks good but i love my naga to much, i would be persuaded if they had 12 buttons on this side and had a cool lighting system

[@darktiger113]

If you're short on money, a 7970 would probably be better (even though I'm an Nvidia fan). It comes with more ram, free games, costs less, and beats the 680 in some cases. However, if you ever plan to add a second card to the system, I'd go with the 680. I've heard that SLI is much smoother with little to no microstutter (which is reportedly a huge problem with Crossfire) and better optimized in games.

[@thefootballer1089]

As much as the I love Corsair, I would never give up my G9x !

[@THEdudeINaSHIRT]

* Darkness is the absence of all light. Black, when used as a pigment, is a color too.

[@PoisonedVG]

Umm linus I think your description is for the M65 nothe M95, just putting that out there.....

[@HomicidalToast1]

i want to know if there is a mouse Slick can palm. i have similar sized hands as him and need a new mouse

[@nickclips10]

Those Twinkies in the background. I WANT THEM
