Why the CORSAIR M75 is the Best Gaming Mouse for Helldivers 2

Ok, the best gaming mouse for Helldivers 2 is a bold claim, but we’re ready to back it up. Unless you’ve been living under the 21st century equivalent of a rock for the last month or so, you’ll have realised that Helldivers 2 has become a total sensation. It’s garnered far higher sales and player numbers than anyone expected.

The gameplay is largely third-person, though it switches to first person for additional accuracy sometimes. This accuracy by the way, is hugely vital, as the game can get so chaotic at times that you’ll need laser precision to land some shots on what you’re actually aiming at. Not easy when there are eight different lasers and 12 different explosions happening at the same time, coming from every direction.

Given that accuracy is so vital, like basically any game, the CORSIAR M75 a strong choice here. It’s lightweight at 89g (74g for the wired variant), which means switching between targets becomes faster, especially on the more accurate lower DPIs that you should be using.

Helping to ensure the all-important accuracy we have the CORSAIR MARKSMAN sensor. It’s an optical sensor capable of 100–26,000 DPI and can be adjusted in increments of 1. This level of granularity allows you the perfectly tune the sensitivity to your specific preference.

Additionally, this sensor is capable of tracking accurately up to 50g of movement and 650 IPS. Basically this means that even when wildly swinging back and forth between targets as you defend the galaxy, the M75 won’t spin out.

Those looking for a complete spec list should check out the main M75 article. Here we break down the differences between the wired and wireless versions.

The M75 is designed for high-intensity shooters and anyone who’s given Helldivers 2 a go knows that it goes from 0 to 100 basically instantly. As such the shape of the shell is mostly optimised for palm grip players. Generally-speaking, this is the best way to hold a mouse for consistency. Despite this, the size of the M75 make it a great fit for any grip type.

Additionally, the shape and the functionality of the M75 are fully ambidextrous. We’ve written an entire article about the truly ambidextrous nature of the M75 you can read for more info. For now, though, just know that the thumb buttons are present on both sides, and can be swapped out to make them more, or less prominent.

So, if you’ve found your current gaming mouse unfit for the explosive, stressful, and strangely laser-intensive galaxy of Helldivers 2, the CORSAIR M75 is the best gaming mouse to help you develop your career in the squadron.
