Introduction

In the hardware world Corsair is a long established name that started life, as many of the giants have, as an OEM manufacturer; in Corsair’s case this was L2 cache modules. Their speciality was defunct when Intel began incorporating L2 cache modules onto the processors however so they turned that expertise to manufacturing DRAM modules for the server market. In 2002 they performed the first of the diversifications that formed their cult like enthusiast following when the began to manufacture RAM specifically aimed at overclockers.
In more recent years Corsair has, quite literally, set a masterful example of how to branch out and capture a huge amount of the enthusiast mindshare. Cases, SSDs, RAM, Power Supplies, Peripherals, Audio and Fans; they make it all. The entirety of their range has been renowned for quality and performance all backed up by high levels of service, this dedication to the product and their customers is what has earned Corsair the rabid following they have today.
Today I have on test the M65 RGB, an update of the M65 that features fully customisable RGB lighting via the Corsair Utility Engine which as we’ve seen in the form of the K70 RGB can produce some very cool effects! Packing an Avago 9800 sensor and solid aluminium construction does the M65 RGB match form with function? Let’s put it through the normal tests and find out!
