Corsair Vengeance M60 5700dpi Laser Gaming Mouse @ £69.98 inc VAT

You get maximum precision and response from the Avago ADNS-9500 LaserStream™ Gaming Sensor, even on high resolution displays. Outpace and dominate opposing players with less accurate or slower gaming mice.
Superior ergonomics and a dedicated sniper button will make the M60 laser gaming mouse your favorite weapon of mass destruction. It's functional design and soft-touch surfaces are comfortable in your hand, even for extended hours gaming sessions. The dedicated sniper button automatically lowers your DPI so that you can quickly adjust your aiming precision and precisely locate shots.
A unibody aluminum frame is the secret behind the M60's low weight, high rigidity, and optimal mass distribution. It also has three adjustable tuning zones, allowing you to customize your mouse's weight to have just the exact feel you want.
When the action is fast and furious, you are constantly moving and repositioning your mouse. The M60's lift detection provides high precision tracking and reliable cursor placement even when lifted off of the mousing surface.

Yes, UK layout

 

[Ace Modder]

If you want one I suggest you take one soon, as the USD to GBP exchange is dropping at the moment as pricing may have to go up prior to the stock arriving.

Lets hope not though.

 

[Ace Modder]

If you like these, you are going to be wanting the headset to match

If you can only afford one or the other I'd suggest a keyboard first

 

[Ace Modder]

The Logitech screens are good, I have a G19 myself, however I don't use it enough. (Gimmick for me - mine just sits with the MSI afterburner on. But I have the same data on my monitor so not really much point.

I'm considering selling it and putting the difference towards the K90.

 

[Ace Modder]

Let me check with Corsair tomorrow for you all.... Shame on Corsair if this is the case.

 

[Ace Modder]

Right I have spoken to my UK rep regarding this, he was not aware of the keyboard being hybrid. He is going to get me some confirmed answers ASAP.

Please bear with us when we get this confirmation either way.

It doesn't look too good at the moment though.

 

[Ace Modder]

Fixed, our none Corsair keyboard must have jammed.

 

[Ace Modder]

Still waiting for feedback from Corsair. My UK rep had to email the US which means that the email was not replied to by the time I left work as they would have been getting out of bed at 5pm UK time I should know more tomorrow.

 

[Ace Modder]

Hey guys.

I have had a confirmation from Corsair. I will copy and paste it for you.

Hi Lee,

I think I’ll write a blog piece about this – to clear it up. It’s actually an innovation that we are very proud of – and it was not to reduce cost (in reality, it added quite some development and manufacturing complexity to the product).

Because of the lightness and sensitivity of the Cherry Reds (which is fantastic for gaming, and much better than people think for typing) we wanted a different switch pressure for some of the other keys – especially the macro keys – so you don’t actuate them if your hand brushes over them. So we decided to use the Cherry MX key switches on all the keys except the top row (Escape through F12 plus PrntScn/Scrl Lock/Pause) and for the “six pack” (ins/Home/Page up/dn, Del, End) where we have tuned a silicon dome keyswitch strip with a slightly firmer spring rate and more damping – thought the electrical response (1ms) is the same. These keys are not used for double taps or movement keys, so we preferred a firmer, less twitchy feel on these non-typing keys. These are keys you want to hit once, and need to nail solidly every time.

On the K90, we also used a separate silicon dome keyswitch matrix for the macro “G” keys because it allows us to put these keys on a lower plane than the main typing keys – again, so you can find them by feel, and so you don’t hit them accidentally (Competing brands and their users have complained about hitting “certain Keyboards” when they really wanted “Escape” – which can have dire consequences!). These keys have a fully programmable repeat rate/multiple in the macro software, so you won’t be using these for double-taps or triple-taps anyway.

This is the type of design innovation you get when gaming enthusiasts engineer a keyboard from scratch - without the restriction of using a mass-produced office keyboard as a starting point.

Our Keyboard have been designed by true Gamers, They will play a game for 15 hours solid over a weekend.

This is something that does make sense to me upon reading it. I'm quite looking forward to getting a sample and testing the theory out on the reasoning behind the methodology. Let hope that as usual Corsairs R&D department have got a winner here

 

[Ace Modder]

Could a OcUK staff member tell us how the F keys feel if they get a chance plox?

Compared to the cherry keys.

I will do, I have requested samples prior to release of their new headsets/mice and keyboards.

I should know more about the sample status tomorrow/Monday. I will be doing full reviews for this.

 

[Ace Modder]

Surely it's not going to be a completely honest review considering you stock them?

Well actually it is, I'm a gamer and I was dissapointed to read what was the facts. I wouldn't want to mislead our customers, at the end of the day our customers are relying on us to give informed/concise opinions of the truth, as it will come out when the keyboard is available.

If I claim the Corsair keyboards are ace, when in fact the 2 tactile types are making the product poor, the next time I do a review and its great you will all take it with a pinch of salt if I claim the Corsair keyboards are ace, when in fact the 2 tactile types are making the product poor.

I was as disappointed as you lovely forumites were when the announcement was linked in this thread!

Lets hope Corsairs R&D team have done a good job and not done it to cut corners, and it is what Corsair claim.

At the end of the day if the Corsair keyboards turn out to be great to use - good many sales!

If I say its great but it isn't and lots of sales but many DSR returns I then have stock issues which I do not want.

If it ends up being poor I will confirm this and I won't stock as many, cos I know it won't be as popular, but I will promote and recommend a different product - maybe the Zibal 60 keyboard we have for pre-order currently. (Which I haven't had a sample of yet either before you ask)

I believe there is a good amount of trust between us, purchasers/product managers at OcUK and our forum users as you value our opinions (I hope) as they are founded on past history of us giving accurate informations.
