[REVIEW] CORSAIR Vengeance M60 Performance FPS Laser Gaming Mouse

Originally, I was sold on and am currently using Corsair’s Vengeance M90 mouse due to a more versatile overall design and larger onboard memory; however I couldn’t help but wonder just how well the M60 actually performs compared to its ‘big brother’ since they seem like two very different products altogether. Thanks to Convergent, I’ve managed to get my hands on the Vengeance M60 which is Corsair’s solution for an FPS optimized gaming mouse!!
