The Corsair M75 Air Wireless, priced at $100, is a lightning-fast gaming mouse designed for competitive gaming. In fast-paced genres like FPS, Battle Royale, and MOBA, this mouse excels, providing the speed and precision needed in intense firefights. Its impressive hardware, including the 26K Marksman Optical sensor with a 2,000Hz / 0.5ms default polling rate, contributes significantly to its performance. However, the M75 Air Wireless isn’t just about powerful hardware; its symmetrical, tapered design is equally crucial to its speed and control.
Design and Build: Streamlined for Speed and Comfort
Measuring 1.6 x 2.6 x 5 inches, the M75 Air Wireless features a narrow front and a high-arched back, providing excellent support for various grip styles (claw, palm, and fingertip). This design is particularly effective for claw and palm grips, as the high back fills the palm comfortably, facilitating precise micro-movements. The textured shell offers a secure grip, ensuring the mouse moves in sync with your hand. The black review model features a subtle yellow accent on the mouse wheel, adding a touch of visual interest.

The symmetrical design is reminiscent of a peregrine falcon diving for its prey – streamlined and perfectly balanced. The main clicks are integrated seamlessly into the chassis, keeping your fingers close together while remaining large and spacious enough for comfortable use, even with larger hands.
Button Configuration and Weight: Minimalist and Effective
The M75 Air Wireless adopts a simple, right-handed, five-button configuration: two main clicks, two side buttons, and a clickable mouse wheel. Notably, there’s no DPI switcher button, promoting a distraction-free gaming experience. The side buttons are small and flat, minimizing accidental clicks. Weighing in at 60 grams, the M75 Air Wireless strikes a balance between lightweight agility and a substantial feel, avoiding the overly light sensation some sub-60-gram mice exhibit.
Connectivity, Battery Life, and Software: Versatile and Functional
The M75 Air Wireless supports wireless (2.4GHz Slipstream Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, and wired connections. Included in the box are a USB-C dongle with a convenient storage compartment and a USB-A to USB-C cable. Compatibility extends to Windows 10/11 and macOS 10.15 or later. While the 2.4GHz Slipstream Wi-Fi mode delivers exceptional speed and near-zero latency, switching between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth using a single button can be slightly confusing. Battery life is commendable, offering up to 34 hours in Wi-Fi mode and up to 100 hours in Bluetooth mode.

Corsair’s iCue software allows for customization of DPI, polling rate, and other performance settings. The software provides a clear overview of device information, including battery status and polling rate. Personalized profiles can be created, although only one profile can be stored onboard. A surface calibration tool optimizes the mouse’s performance for different surfaces.
Gaming Performance: Precision and Speed Redefined
The M75 Air Wireless’s Marksman 26K Optical Sensor delivers exceptional performance, tracking movement at 650 inches per second (IPS) with a maximum acceleration of 50G. In games like Fortnite and Counter-Strike 2, the sensor provides pinpoint accuracy and responsiveness. The symmetrical design enhances targeting precision, especially in large open spaces. The Corsair Quickstrike buttons are incredibly fast and surprisingly quiet, offering a satisfying click without excessive noise. While the absence of a DPI switcher button might be a drawback for some, the strategically placed PTFE feet, arranged in a horseshoe configuration, ensure effortless gliding and precise micro-adjustments.
Verdict: A Top Contender for FPS Enthusiasts
The Corsair M75 Air Wireless offers excellent value for its $100 price point, undercutting some competitors while delivering top-tier performance. Its symmetrical design, powerful 26,000 DPI optical sensor, 2,000Hz polling rate, and comfortable 60-gram weight make it an ideal choice for FPS gamers seeking enhanced speed and precision. If you can live without a dedicated DPI switcher button, the M75 Air Wireless is a compelling upgrade for anyone looking to revitalize their gaming experience.
