The wired M55 Lightweight Gaming Mouse weighs 55 grams and is optimized for competitive gaming, where quick, precise movements can be the difference between a victory or a loss. The M55 WIRELESS Gaming Mouse weighs 85 grams in bulk because it's powered by a single AA battery, which adds weight.

On the plus side, the M55 Wireless Gaming Mouse can last up to 185 hours on a single AA battery with low-latency SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS. Both feature tracking specs of 35G acceleration and 300 IPS speed; however, the M55 Wireless's optical sensor is rated up to 24,000 DPI, while the wired version tops at 16,000 DPI.

The M55 Wireless Gaming Mouse also supports Bluetooth, making it an excellent option for tablet, mobile, and laptop gamers. The button layout is the same on both variants, with six programmable buttons (including a dedicated DPI switch) accessible via Corsair's iCUE software. The main left and right buttons feature mechanical switches with 60 million clicks. And with 100% PTFE low-friction feet on the underside, they're built for a smooth glide.

Here's a look at the specs, with links to their respective product pages.
