Corsair Raptor M45 Gaming Mouse Review

Today we will be taking a look at the Raptor M45 gaming mouse from Corsair. The M45 is a mid-range gaming mouse from their Raptor range which looks to satisfy the needs of enthusiast gamers, especially FPS players. Summary

For a mid-range mouse the M45 has a good number of buttons to configure along with a very responsive 5000 DPI sensor. The ability to switch the setting on the fly is very welcome and one which works well during game play. The onboard profiles and macro...

Labs Brief: Corsair Raptor M45

Raptor's original batch of mice were based off the company's own designs, prior to being bought out by Corsair. They were budget mice, with a very budget design.

Certainly a good mouse, but there are better options for not much more.

Corsair Raptor M45 Gaming Mouse Review

Great ergonomics, Macro recording, Full programmable buttons, Very good sensor (so long as you stay away from max DPI), Competitive price, Customisable weight

Side grip wears off after a few weeks, Sensor gets jitter towards max DPI, Price is competitive, but the M40 is much better value for money

The Corsair M45 is a very good product for the money, I’ve personally been using mine for a few weeks now alongside the Corsair K40 keyboard which I reviewed recently. I’ve enjoyed using them as a set and I expect I will continue to do so for a good...

Corsair Raptor M45 Review

Featuring the Pixart PMW3310 optical sensor, capable of up to 5000 DPI. Can this new gaming mouse project you to gaming stardom?

Aesthetically pleasing ; Reasonably priced ; Performs great on cloth pads ; Great materials & build quality ; Comfortable after long periods ; Customisable software ; On-the-fly DPI switch ; Customisable weight system

Right handed only ; Struggles to track on textured surfaces

Having spent plenty of time with the new Raptor M45 we are left in no doubt of its capabilities.

Great Entry-Level Gaming Mouse

To be honest, the Corsair logo is sweet. I don't like the new one so this was vintage for me.

The weight stubbs are great for optimized desired weight for your mouse. Extremely reliable left and right clicks, super good response. Easy to use hardware (Corsair Mouse Configurator). Extremely good for FPS.

Mouse 4 and scroll wheel tends to break fast. This is my second one in 2 years. Normally, my mice lasts longer.

DPI buttons are really useful.

-The DPI buttons are nice for on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment in games. -The extra back and forward buttons on the left of the mouse are good for extra bindings. -The Corsair logo lights up and it's SEXY AS HELL.

-Seems to really be right-handed only, tried holding it with my left and it didn't feel right. -Scrollwheel is slightly loud if you're scrolling really fast.
