Corsair M90 Gaming Mouse Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The Corsair M90 unboxing video by Linus Tech Tips begins with a look at packaging and the immediate impression of build quality. Linus emphasizes the clever ease of opening the blister packaging, praising Corsair for addressing a common packaging nuisance. He then positions the M90 within Corsair's Vengeance line, comparing it to the M60 and K90 keyboards to explain where this mouse fits in the broader lineup. The host frames the M90 as an MMO-optimized device with a substantial number of side buttons, highlighting nine side-mounted inputs and the strategic thumb rest that helps prevent accidental presses when picking up the mouse. He contrasts this design with the Razer Naga, noting how Corsair routes finger actions to deliberate contact points to minimize mistakes during frantic gameplay. The discussion shifts to grip style, with Linus demonstrating a claw grip that suits the M90, while acknowledging palm users might still adapt to its shape. Throughout the first portion, he repeatedly ties together ergonomics, button placement, and the perceived balance between weight and rigidity, building a case for the M90 as a robust, purpose-built option for MMO players. In the second part of the video, Linus goes deeper into the M90’s construction and features. He details the aluminum frame, dual-piece assembly, and the solid, non-slip feet, arguing that the hardware feels premium and deliberately engineered rather than cheaply assembled. The speaker covers sensor capabilities, onboard memory for up to six profiles, and the 5700 DPI-like sensor performance, while acknowledging that real-world feel matters more to him than raw figures like DPI. He notes the customizable software, portrait of a two-year warranty, and the inclusion of gold-plated connectors for improved contact, while tempering expectations about some marketing specs. The unboxing concludes with comparisons to other Corsair devices and emphasizes the M90’s tactile, accessible button layout, the strong scroll wheel, and the overall premium build quality. Linus ends by inviting viewers to try the device themselves, subscribe for more content, and consider how the M90 stacks up against alternatives in MMO and FPS contexts.
