I picked up the Corsair M60 a couple of days ago as a potential replacement for my trusty MS Sidewinder.
I've had mixed success with Corsair products in the past (great power supplies, cases, and water cooling kits, not so great RAM) so I figured that Corsair would go that extra step to ensure a really quality product.
Uses the Avago Technologies ADNS-9500 Laser sensor
The Good:
Braided cable, removable weights, easily adjustable DPI, sniper button.
Solid build quality
The Bad:
Pebbled exterior is uncomfortable
Not big enough to be a proper palm grip mouse but too big (and improperly shaped) to be a claw grip
Twitchy in game use (notably BF3) irrespective of DPI settings. Could never really get comfortable aiming with this mouse. Compared to my MS Sidewinder and various Logitech Mice, I found it to be very challenging from an accuracy perspective. This may be resolved by firmware updates (as CM did with the Spawn) but I also had liftoff issues as well that are usually indicative of the type of sensor used.
Uncomfortable ergonomics (for me at least). I have fairly large hands and found my pinky and second last finger cramped and without anywhere to rest during the use of the mouse. Also as I noted above it's not a true palm grip and as such creates an awkward hand position to provide grip.
The sniper button only works when you hold it down. I get the concept behind this but the position of the sniper button is so far forward that you literally have to hold the mouse on an angle to keep the button depressed.
Also the second mouse button (closest to the front of the mouse) is a bit too far forward for comfort and hard to activate when needed.
All in all not a great experience. It's gone back to the store.
