Corsair M40 Mouse, rubbish sensor?


Miscer

Recommended Posts

Ive had two of these now, one which was returned for a faulty back button, and now i have the replacement.

The sensors on both have been terrible. They seem to be affected by the smallest bit of dust.

 

Any previous mouse (cheap ones not £40 like this) ive used would suffer sensor problems after months of use and just need a clean to remove dust buildup.

I had this mouse 3 hours before it started messing up.

Same with the previous one.

 

I use a decent Cooler Master mouse mat which is kept clean, but obviously dust will build up eventually.

 

Does anyone have the same problem?

This is a paint drawing i did to show the problem. Just moving the mouse side to side, not up and down, and that was the results

Try a piece of paper or a book cover.

 

Right, i have tried a piece of paper for about a week now and the problem has gone.

 

I dont understand why but the M40 obviously just doesnt like my mouse mat, its a Cooler Master one so no cheap rubbish.

 

 

Do you know what mouse mat material would work for me?

Not quite sure about the sensor not liking your mousemat, you can ask Corsair via a support ticket or by phone which mouse mat surface would work best.

 

You can call Corsair using Skype by calling their toll-free number on their website.

 

I could try, although i guess ill only get recommendations of corsair products
