- Strengths:
- Design
Finish
Wheel
Buttons
- Weaknesses:
- Metal base discharges static shock every once in a while (few times per hour). Looks like it is common issue for this mouse.

Even worse - sometimes after that mouse freezes and you have to unplug/plug it again.
- Summary:
- I currently own Microsoft Sidewinder X8 and totally love that mouse because of vertical layout of thumb buttons. Too bad it is discontinued.
However, decided to give M90 a try due to some good reviews.
Funny enough... I would recommend that mouse, but strongly advise to purchase IPR due to the static shock issue.
Huge Disappointment

- Strengths:
- Nice weight.
Very smooth glide and tracking.
- Weaknesses:
- Software simply does not work.
The placement of the thumb buttons are in difficult spots for natural press comfort.
- Summary:
- This mouse did not work for any game I tried it on. Even after insuring software was installed in admin mode, no games or software would recognize any of the customizable buttons.
The software interface itself was very unprofessionally done looked as if they hired a grade 6 computer science class to develop it.
The positioning of the side thumb buttons at first looked ingenious, however in actual implementation they are a nightmare, to the point of near painful discomfort.
Waste of money so far

- Strengths:
- The hardware is excellent. Great movement, perfect tracking, nice weight (heavier mouse) and looks sweet.
- Weaknesses:
- Software is the worst. High school level. Side buttons won't work in Skyrim and other games. Profile LEDs don't work (lots of complaints about this on Corsair's site). Logiteck, Saitek, Razer software are literally years ahead of Corsair,
- Summary:
- If you're willing for wait who-knows how long for them to sort out the problems on this mouse then it is a good mouse. If you want everything to work properly out of the box, purchase something else. I'll be returning this mouse to ME after Christmas.
