Today, we are going to have a close look at Corsair’s latest offering, the M75 Wireless. If you’re thinking, “Didn’t I just hear about the M75 Air?” Corsair’s new kid on the block is more of an upgrade than a complete overhaul, but it’s the kind of upgrade that catches your eye. It’s the same sleek design we’ve all come to appreciate, now with RGB lighting and an ambidextrous design that says, “Hey, lefties, we’ve got you covered too.”
I’ve been playing with this new mouse for a few days, putting it through its paces to see if it stands up to the hype. And let me tell you, in the crowded arena of gaming mice, where the battle for the top spot is fiercer than a final circle in PUBG, the Corsair M75 Wireless is looking to make a mark. It has a little more heft than its predecessor, aiming for a more planted feel without dragging you down.

First off, this latest unit weighs 89 grams, which is a step up from the Air’s feathery 60 grams. This extra weight gives the mouse a more substantial, grounded feel, like it’s always ready to spring into action but won’t fly off the desk if you sneeze. For FPS shooters, this might sound like a deal-breaker, but it’s all about balance, and the M75 Wireless balances like a pro on a tightrope. The M75 Wireless sports two glowing RGB strips along its back, wrapping around a Corsair glowing logo. For the tinkerers out there, you can customize this light show in two zones using Corsair’s iCue software.
Design-wise, the mouse shape is a dream for palm or claw grippers, with a generously humped middle easing into more relaxed slopes towards the front and back. It’s slightly bigger, reminding me of the Razer Naga V2 Pro but without making your hand stretch uncomfortably for the crucial clicks.

At the bottom of the mouse, you’ll find a couple of buttons for DPI adjustments and switch connections, alongside PTFE feet. There’s also a spot to tuck the USB-A dongle away because nobody likes to lose the tiny things. In a nutshell, the Corsair M75 Wireless looks good, feels good, and despite a minor fashion faux pas or two, it’s a solid companion.
The big headline here is the ambidextrous design, so left-handers are not left out of the high-end mouse game. The M75 Wireless doesn’t just pay lip service to ambidexterity; it fully embraces it with a set of side buttons on both flanks. Further, Corsair throws in a set of swappable caps so you can customize the side buttons to your heart’s content, which makes it a real deal for southpaws and righties alike.
The centerpiece is its Marksman sensor with a 26K DPI at 650 IPS. This means it’s sharp, accurate, and won’t miss a beat, even if you’re someone who likes to flick-shot your way through FPS games or meticulously plan every move in a strategy title. Although some mice can offer great numbers, most of us won’t notice the difference unless we play at a professional level. The M75 keeps up with the best of them, ensuring your cursor is always where you need it.
About the programmable buttons, or, should I say, the somewhat lacking array of them. In an age where more is often considered better, the M75 Wireless plays it a bit too safe for my liking. Sure, you’ve got the basics covered, but in a world where gaming mice are bristling with buttons like a medieval knight in armor, the M75 feels a little underdressed. A sniper button or a DPI shifter built into the main body would’ve been there for extra versatility at the cost.
One of my personal favorites is the on-the-fly DPI shifting. Forget about launching software settings mid-game because with the M75, a simple hold of the DPI button and a press of the side buttons lets you change your mouse sensitivity without missing a beat. It’s a gear shift for your mouse that allows you to adapt on the fly, even during intense warfare in Battlefield.

Regarding the battery life, Corsair claims up to 105 hours, and while your mileage may vary depending on how much you love your RGB light shows, even with the lights on, I found my mouse surviving days without recharge. While the M75 Wireless might not have a button for every function under the sun, it offers a thoughtful selection of features that are built for a wide range of gamers.
The M75 Wireless has a slightly hefty design and refined ergonomics. In the high-octane FPS shooters or the strategic depths of MOBAs, despite its weight, the M75 Wireless doesn’t run away from a challenge. The extra grams make it a tad less nimble than its ultralight cousins, but it’s no slouch. Marksman sensor’s precision and responsiveness deliver the best, whether you make split-second decisions in Call of Duty or line up the shot in CS:GO. The mouse glide is something to write home about. Thanks to the PTFE feet, it moves across surfaces with the grace of a figure skater. Combine that with the big form factor, and you get a mouse that hits the perfect spot between speed and control.
Moreover, the M75 Wireless comes with Quickstrike switches that, in a word, are satisfying. There’s a certain joy in hearing the crisp click sound as you execute commands, and this Corsair gaming mouse delivers that in spades. Each click is fast, responsive, and, most importantly, consistent.

Final Verdict
Corsair M75 Wireless, though is a little overweight and has fewer buttons than some would like, but it more than makes up for it in the performance department. Its sensor accuracy, comfortable design, and quality build make it a formidable companion for a wide range of gaming adventures. Sure, if you’re only into FPS games or need a mouse that doubles as a mini keyboard for MMOs, there might be better-suited options out there. But for everyone else looking for a reliable, versatile gaming mouse that is great to use, the M75 Wireless is worth a look.
In the grand scheme of things, choosing the right mouse comes down to what feels right in your hand and matches your gaming style. The M75 Wireless is a jack-of-all-trades and offers a comfortable grip, solid performance, and attractive RGB to keep your setup room sharp. It is not the main choice for hardcore FPS fans or MMO gamers who need more buttons than a spaceship control panel, but for everyone else, it’s a contender worth considering.
