Page 10: Manage Profiles Activity
With the broadest compatibility with games, hardware playback is the mode used by most of the gamers here at Corsair. Unless you’re using more than one profile at a time, this is probably your best choice for gaming. Manage Profiles Activity Profiles store information on how your mouse behaves, how the buttons are mapped, and any macros that you may have recorded. -
Page 11: Profile Name And Application
The names of all the profiles stored on your system are shown under Profile Name, whether or not they are associated with the onboard memory of the Vengeance M60. If the profile is associated with an application, the name will appear under Application. Right-clicking either the profile name or the application brings up a context menu with the following actions: Rename allows you to rename the current profile. -
Page 12: Application
Unassign Application will delete the association between the profile and the application so that the Vengeance M60 will no longer switch to that profile when the application is active.

Page 27: Manage Performance Activity
The Manage Performance activity allows you to control many of the parameters of the advanced Avago sensor used in the Vengeance M60. Settings such as DPI, report rate, and lift height can be tuned to match your gaming style and gaming surface, allowing you to elevate your PC gaming to a new level. -
Page 28: Angle Snapping
The kind of surface you use for your mouse can have a dramatic impact on the performance of the mouse. The Avago sensor found in the Vengeance M60 works best on a smooth, dark surface that is free of dust, dirt and oils. However, the sensor is capable of functioning on a wide variety of surfaces. -
Page 29: Lift Height
There are five possible choices: Low, Mid-Low, Middle, Mid-High, and High. By default, the Vengeance M60 is set to Middle. For dark surfaces, you probably will not get good results below this setting; for light/white surfaces, you can try any of the settings.
