Operating Instructions

Button Functions

The CORSAIR M65 Pro RGB features eight strategically placed, programmable buttons for enhanced control and customization.

• Left/Right Click: Standard mouse buttons for primary interactions.
• Scroll Wheel: Used for vertical scrolling and acts as a clickable middle button.
• DPI Up/Down Buttons: Located above the scroll wheel, these buttons allow for on-the-fly adjustment of the mouse's Dots Per Inch (DPI) sensitivity. You can program up to five different DPI settings via the CUE software.
• Sniper Button: Positioned on the left side, this dedicated button (often red with a target icon) temporarily lowers the DPI to a pre-set value (e.g., 400 DPI) for precise aiming in FPS games. Releasing the button returns the DPI to its previous setting.
• Forward/Back Buttons: Located above the sniper button, these are typically used for navigating web pages or folders. They can be reprogrammed for other functions via CUE.
