Conclusion
Before I come to a final verdict on the subject of wired vs. wireless, I’d first like to say a few words about the two mice I tested.
M65 RGB Ultra
The wired M65 RGB Ultra does not make any mistakes in the test and convinces all along the line. With a polling rate of 8000Hz, it feels smoother than any other mouse I’ve held. Almost like the difference between 60 and 144Hz on the monitor, I felt like the movements just translated a tad smoother. Corsair can’t be blamed for the weight, look and feel either – nothing cracks or creaks, the buttons sit “on point” and the mouse wheel’s ratcheting is precise and quiet. Especially interesting and for me personally even worth the small surcharge to the competition: The tilt gestures. If you get into it and experiment, you get used to it pretty quickly and I see a benefit not only in gaming, but in any form of productive use. Example: Draw a wrong line in Photoshop and now have to press CTRL+Z to undo it? Nope, just tilt the mouse to the right, which you already have in your hand anyway. great stuff!
M65 RGB Ultra Wireless
Unfortunately, the above doesn’t quite apply to the M65 RGB Ultra Wireless. Of course, it is also perfectly manufactured, also has the gyro sensor for the tilt gestures on board and also offers the advantage of wireless operation. However, despite the surcharge of 50€, you unfortunately have to make some compromises here. For one thing, it can’t keep up with the insane 8000Hz polling rate of the wired version with a maximum of 2000Hz, which, by the way, is complaining on a very high level, because apart from fast shooters and pixel-precise drawing in Paint, I haven’t noticed that at all otherwise. On the other hand, I wonder why they didn’t give the more expensive product the illuminated scroll wheel as well. Sure, the illumination draws power, which in turn shortens the battery life, but somehow it has an insipid aftertaste when the more expensive product makes a cheaper impression. Even though the M65 RGB Ultra Wireless is basically an absolutely fantastic mouse, it falls a bit short in terms of price-performance ratio compared to the wired version.
Finally, wireless or wired?
Regardless of the fact that practically all the disadvantages of wireless mice have now been completely eliminated, the decision is still purely a matter of taste. Of course, the battery has to be charged from time to time, a wireless mouse is usually a few grams heavier due to the battery and in our concrete comparison test, it is also a full 50€ more expensive than its wired counterpart. On the other hand, with a wireless mouse you definitely have more room to move and you never get into the situation where you are hindered by the cable – even a perfectly adjusted mouse bungee can’t keep up with that at some point.
Personally, I have to confess that I have actually been leaning more towards the wireless mouse for some time now. You can also charge the battery during use, should you actually forget to do so and find yourself in the situation of having an empty battery during a longer session.
Otherwise, it has to be said quite clearly: the prejudices regarding latency, constant connection interruptions, etc., have long been a thing of the past, and in my opinion, a wireless mouse can now be recommended without hesitation, even for use in the pro-gaming sector.
