![]() The idea here is to hold the button down when you look down the scope of your sniper rifle, to slow down movement and provide a chance for a bloody headshot. The Sniper button temporarily changes the DPI – lower by default – to provide that needed higher or lower sensitivity at a moment’s notice. But the special feature is the red ‘Sniper’ button directly at the default thumb placement. The profile-switching buttons on top of the mouse can be used to switch between the three DPI profiles, customisable in the Corsair Configuration software, and there’s a handy mouse 4 and 5 or forward/back button alignment just above the thumb. The buttons and their placement, though, are what make this mouse truly special and stand out among the crowd. Between them is an LED light indicating the profile you’re currently using – this one can’t be disabled, but it’s handy to have some visual awareness of which profile you are actively using. ![]() There’s blue lighting around the middle button and highlighting the two profile-switching buttons top centre, which you can turn off. Shaped ergonomically for comfort, the top of the mouse has a smooth-to-the-touch finish, while the sides are rough for additional grip. Everything about the layout screams “HEADSHOT!” Vengeance M65 Mouseįrom the offset, you’re made very much aware that this mouse is designed with the First-Person-Shooter gamer in mind. It’s available for under £100 from Amazon UK. That black anodized brushed aluminium chassis looks gorgeous, too. Everything on this keyboard is there for a reason, and that plays to the design brilliantly. There’s also adjustable red LED key back-lighting and a Windows key lock. The multimedia control keys on the right are particularly useful, providing stop, back/forward, play/pause, mute and a rather funky analogue volume rocker. Somehow Corsair have managed to make this keyboard look very minimalist, while providing a lot of functionality. In our opinion, Cherry Red requires just that bit too much weight to the keypress, it makes typing feel a little too much like hard work. Your choice of cherry keys is going to be very personal, so you’ll probably want to try them out first-hand before ordering. ![]() The Cherry Red keys on the K70 are quite weighty indeed. Cherry Red is the softest of the three, creating very little noise, while providing the most feedback. Cherry Brown is a little quieter, making more of a ‘clack’ sound. Cherry Blue is generally considered very ‘clicky’ – this is the traditional mechanical keyboard type. With the K70 you get a choice of Cherry Red, Blue or Brown keys. This, along with the mechanical keypresses, creates an almost typewriter-like feel to typing with the K70. The button placement is quite high, in comparison to most other keyboards. Finger placement is vital with gaming, and the K70 has a form factor that reflects that. The A key dips towards the D and vice-versa, keeping your fingers in the ever-important FPS position. The optional gamer keys aren’t just coloured red for WASD to stand out more, they’re actually shaped to help guide your fingers back to the home position without looking down at the keyboard. Everything is designed to feel fantastic while you type. From the non-slip wrist-rest, to the textured spacebar and ribbed optional WASD/number keys. This keyboard is all about the textile sensation. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been having a look at the latest items in Corsair’s Vengeance Range, and here’s our results.
