Corsair M65 grip MOD

[evilmatchbox]

IF you guys would like for me to make a detailed how to for this mod or how to take the mouse apart please let me know.

I'll first start off with what I like about the Corsair M65. I am part of the fingertip grip Master-Race minority and thus are very particular about my mice because there are very few options. Coming from the CM spawn this mouse is a bit bigger but still feels comfortable. It also tracks very well and I loved the grippiness of the side grips.

However within a week the soft sandpaper like grit had worn away. I don't know if this has happen to other people but I was left with the slick plastic underneath. I found this very hard to grip and often would strain my hand gaming after a while. Instead of buying another mouse I thought I'd fix this. I disassembled my mouse to separate the side grips and tried to remedy situation. At first I sprayed them with truck bed liner.



This worked great and felt nice and grippy. However in about 3 weeks I could tell it was already wearing down. I've never had a problem but I don't know if I have particularly acidic sweat or what. I then disassembled it again. Sanded the remaining truckbed liner. Then sprayed primer beforetruck bed liner again. This helped slightly and extended the time before deterioration by a few weeks.

So I took the mouse apart one again and cleaned all of the primer and truck bed liner off. Finally I added grip tape.  It is meant for pistols but since the mouse is my weapon *cringe* I figured this grip tape would be up to the task. This has worked out fantastic. It's very flexible and soft, yet textured and grippy.





It's a shame that the grip that come stock wears away so easy. But I really like the way it turned out. I like the look and the way it feels. I really wish more mice had material like this.

This is cool, I have the same grip stuff on a competition handgun I have and it works awesome. I have this mouse and it really sucks that it essentially has a glossy finish now after 4 months of use. I will seek out this material to do this too.

Yea it worked great. Just some info. I Got gt-5000 on amazon for 5-6 bucks on amazon.  Also when you cut it, leave a bit around all the edges besides the sniper button.  A sharp xacto knife will cut the grip tape like butter; except around the sniper button.  I had a lot of trouble trying to clean up the edges around the sniper button.

Are there any other mods for this mouse?

I am not sure.  I painted the  metal frame white because I was bored and the rgb on the backside looked cool
