Corsair M55 RGB PRO Mouse Review

With RGB lighting, programmable buttons, on-the-fly DPI switching, lightweight construction, and a high-DPI optical sensor this mouse looks great on paper. So what was that extra feature box that we haven’t mentioned yet? Oh yeah, the M55 RGB PRO is designed for both left and right-handed gamers, featuring an ambidextrous shape for claw, palm, or fingertip gamers alike. Offering a comfortable design for everyone, does the M55 RGB PRO live up to the high standard that existing Corsair products offer? Read along to find out!

The backside of the box gives two additional angled views of the M55, along with a short list of some of the mouse’s features. An iCUE logo indicates that this product is compatible with Corsair’s versatile configuration software.
