Not so the Corsair M75 Wireless. It features buttons on both its left and right sides, which means left-handed players need not miss out on hitting those extra commands. Although the M75 Wireless is trying to be everything to everyone, its design doesn’t compromise on functionality for one group over another. Corsair has made personalization a key factor so that you can tailor the button setup exactly how you want it. Indeed, the Corsair M75 Wireless is the perfect gaming mouse for a mouse-sharing arrangement; if you have a household with more than one gamer and especially if there are different mouse hand preferences, then the Corsair M75 Wireless is just ideal for that. Further reading: See our roundup of the best wireless gaming mice to learn about competing products. Corsair M75 Wireless design and build The M75 Wireless is best suited to a claw grip because of its tall, centrally located hump that encourages you to hold your hand over the top of it. That feeling is accentuated by quite a steep gradient at its back and a low, slender front. Despite the hump, you can get away with using a palm grip, although it doesn’t feel as natural. The M75 Wireless is quite a long gaming mouse. It measures 5.04 x 2.56 x 1.64 inches, which ideally suits medium to large hands. Just looking at the weight profile — 3.13 ounces (89 grams) makes it considerably heavier than its stablemate the 2.12-ounce (60-gram) Corsair M75 Air, which it closely resembles. From making large swipes, to tiny micro-movements, the M75 Wireless always responded how I wanted it to… While the latter’s lighter weight makes it ideal for esports matches, I found the M75 Wireless is more suited to casual FPS gaming where you’re jumping in and out of games after just a couple hours of play. To be sure, if you like a casual game of Fortnite, CounterStrike 2, or Overwatch 2 without playing on for long four- or five-hour blocks, then the M75 Wireless is a great option for that kind of gaming and won’t be fatiguing to your hand or wrist. The most unique feature of the M75 Wireless is its side buttons on both the mouse’s left and right flanks. These allow for its ambidextrous functionality. Upon hearing about those buttons, my first thought was: “How am I going to prevent miss clicks from the side I’m not using?” It turns out that’s a non-issue since you can simply personalize the button configuration exactly how you want it. Once I chose the side I wanted my side buttons to be on, I could raise their caps up from their default low setting by adding taller button caps that came supplied in the box. Similarly, I could remove the button caps on the side I wasn’t using, or else add the flatter caps there, which made miss-clicks impossible.

It makes it ideal for situations where you have multiple people using the same mouse at different times. Indeed, if your house is full of gamers, the M75 Wireless should cover just about everyone’s needs. To reflect that difference in functionality, you can expect to pay a little more than the M75 Air. It currently costs $89.99 compared to the Air’s $69.99. The Corsair M75 Wireless also has a DPI switcher button on its underside that allows you to cycle through your DPI settings. Another button on the underside toggles between the mouse’s 2.4GHz Wireless and Bluetooth functionality, and switches the mouse on / off. Corsair M75 Wireless gaming performance The M75 Wireless comes armed with a Corsair Marksman Optical sensor that allows you to set DPIs in increments from 100 to 26,000 DPI. It also tracks at a lightning speed of 650 inches-per-second and at a maximum acceleration of up to 50G. The sensor supports a polling rate of 1,000Hz. Admittedly, that’s a little slower than the 4,000Hz polling rates in some FPS gaming mice. But it’s still more than sufficient for the kind of gaming you’re going to be doing with this mouse — the non-competitive kind. Testing out the sensor in rounds of games like Overwatch 2 and Apex Legends proved it had a high level of precision and accuracy. Taking sniper shots was an exercise in effortlessness and strafing in and out of doorways was also as easy as pie. The mouse’s heavier weight decided its core strength for me. I found it better suited to team situations rather than one-on-one scenarios where I didn’t quite get the speed in maneuverability I do with lighter mice. Still, the buttons felt quick and responsive for both single shots and more rapid jitter clicking. They feature Corsair Quickstrike switches, which bestow a satisfying loud “tap” that proved the perfect accompaniment to rifle fire. Compared to my Razer Cobra Pro the main clicks have a slightly longer travel which added a fraction of a second to my click actuation speed. But in group deathmatches and other team match scenarios that design quirk had no real impact on my performance, especially since the Corsair Wireless Slipstream Wi-Fi connection was so quick (it sports a sub-1 millisecond response time).

From large swipes to tiny micro-movements, the M75 Wireless always responded how I wanted it to, which made it easy to line up shots. It was obvious what made the mouse glide so well — the generous PTFE feet. Corsair has placed them perfectly to reduce the maximum amount of friction. I’ve rarely experienced better lift in an FPS mouse too, which meant the M75 Wireless was exceptionally quiet when I wasn’t using a mouse mat. How did I find swapping out the side buttons? That whole process took less than a minute each time. I was grateful for that functionality, although the buttons still felt quite low set with the raised caps added, which didn’t make triggering those buttons the easiest.

Those zones encompass two lighting strips on the mouse’s back, an additional strip on underside and a Corsair logo. These aesthetic touches seem small, but they really livened up my desktop. A long battery life was also one of the mouse’s best traits. I didn’t quite drain the battery in my playtesting, but had I played for long enough, Corsair says it would have taken 105 hours in Bluetooth mode or a whopping 210 hours with RGB switched off in Wi-Fi mode — that’s days of playtime either way. Corsair M75 Wireless software The M75 Wireless uses Corsair’s iCUE software app in which you can assign commands, set your DPI presets, and calibrate the M75 Wireless for the surface you’re using it on. iCUE has a few extra settings that you can toggle on or off that really make use of the M75’s side button functionality. I particularly liked the fact you can toggle on a Left Hand Mode that activates only the buttons relevant to a left-handed grip. An All Button Mode is another great option if you’re looking for more buttons to accommodate more of your commands.

The M75 Wireless is slightly heavier than its stablemate the Corsair M75 Air and for that reason it’s better suited for casual FPS gaming rather than esports, and team matches over one-on-one showdowns. But with more functionality onboard than its striped-down stablemate it’s obviously the more versatile mouse. Notwithstanding features like its brilliant RGB lighting that adds a lot of gamer-centric appeal, its swappable left- and right-side buttons are sure to entice southpaws and gamers that share with southpaws. One thing’s for sure, that kind of dual-purpose functionality doesn’t come around too often. Read...

In today’s digital age, whether for personal collection, learning, later viewing, or sharing, the requirements of recording streaming videos, live TV content, or other paid videos are becoming increasingly common. However, you will inevitably encounter black screen issues when recording these videos. This article will delve into the reasons and provide methods of how to screen-record protected videos effectively. What’s the best way to record restricted live streaming videos? To avoid a black screen when recording protected videos, methods vary on different devices. For Windows and macOS users, the EaseUS screen recorder could be the best choice. Its “Enhanced Mode” can help remove black screen in screen recording on any live streaming channels; while for mobile users, screen mirroring is always working. Why is my screen record black when recording protected videos? The main reason for the black screen problem when recording is that the content is protected by DRM (digital rights management) technology. This DRM content is designed to protect the copyright of content creators’ valuable digital content and prevent unauthorized redistribution. As a result, when someone tries to record these protected videos, they will get a black screen, blurred picture, or no sound. So, finding the right way to record these protected videos is crucial. Please note that the following methods allow you to record protected videos for personal, non-commercial use. However, it’s essential to comply with copyright laws and the terms of service of relevant platforms during this process. 3 ways to record protected videos in Windows/Mac It is well-known that the PC’s built-in screen-recording function has limitations, such as a black screen, no sound, blurred images, etc., when recording DRM-protected content. Therefore, to record protected videos without a black screen or other issues smoothly on Windows or Mac, you can use a professional screen recorder like EaseUS RecExperts, OBS Studio, or Zoom’s screen-sharing feature. Next, let’s learn in detail. Method 1. Screen record protected content via EaseUS RecExperts EaseUS RecExperts is a preferred screen recorder for Windows and Mac users to record protected videos. This powerful, easy-to-use screen recording software can bypass video encryption protection mechanisms through its enhanced mode. It can also screen record protected videos from streaming platforms and applications without a black screen or sound problem.  With this DRM screen recorder, you can record streaming video from TikTok, YouTube, Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, and other restricted content easily. Meanwhile, its powerful video editing function allows you to edit or add credits. In addition, it also provides an online version to facilitate users to record videos from websites anytime and anywhere. Here are the simple steps to capture DRM-protected videos via EaseUS RecExperts. Step 1. Download and launch this screen recorder, then click the Enhanced mode icon. Step 2. Click on the specific streaming icon and play the content you want to record. Step 3. Choose the area of recording and configure the camera, sound, and microphone. Step 4. Click on the REC button to start recording protected videos. Step 5. Click on the white or red icon to stop or pause recording in the taskbar. EaseUS EaseUS EaseUS Pros: HD recording of protected video without black screen, watermark, or time limit. Cons: Professional yet powerful screen recording software for restricted videos, but it doesn’t allow live streaming.  Method 2. Record DRM-protected videos via OBS Studio OBS Studio is free and open-source video recording and live broadcast software that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It can record screens, games, cameras, and other content. This HD video capture software also supports screen record protected content without a black screen and can be broadcast in real-time. It has professional-level video synthesis and editing functions, such as transition effects, filters, keying, etc. Therefore, OBS Studio is worth a try for users who need to create high-quality video content. However, the operation interface is relatively complicated, so beginners will need to spend time learning how to use it. The specific steps are below: Step 1. Start OBS Studio and click the + icon in the “Scenes” tab to add a scene. Step 2. Click the + in the “Sources” tab and add Display Capture or Browser as the source. Step 3. Click the Setting icon in the “Audio Mixer tab” and adjust the audio for Desktop or Microphone Capture. Step 4. Click the “Start Recording” option in the “Controls” to record protected content. Step 5. Click “Stop Recording” to finish the recording. EaseUS EaseUS EaseUS Pros: Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux and allows for multi-screen recording. Cons: The operation is complex, takes time, and is not friendly for beginners. Method 3. Record protected video with Zoom’s screen-sharing function Apart from using a professional screen recorder, you also can use Zoom or Google meeting’s screen-sharing feature to capture DRM protected video without a black screen. Zoom allows you to share and record computer audio and screen during the meeting. Therefore, it’s also a great way to bypass the restrictions. When recording protected videos with Zoom, it is crucial to ensure that the network connection remains stable, the shared window is not blocked, and the recording settings are perfect to ensure the integrity and quality of the final recording. Pros: High convenience and compatibility with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Cons: Screen freezes may occur due to network reasons. 3 ways to screen record protected videos on Android/iPhone You may have found that screen recording protected content with phones’ inbuilt recording feature results in an unsuccessful recording. So, in this part, 3 effective ways to record protected videos without black screen on a mobile device will be provided to you. Method 1. Use the phone recorder app The PlayOn Cloud DVR app is a good choice for screen recording protected videos on Android and iOS for offline viewing.

Cloud storage is very convenient. Cons: Recordings are only stored in the cloud for free for 7 days. Method 2. Use screen mirroring phone to PC Another method is mobile screen sharing to PC and then use computer screen recording software like EaseUS RecExperts to capture the video content.

EaseUS EaseUS EaseUS Pros: Easy to use. Cons: There may be compatibility issues. Method 3.

Make sure the recording background is clean and tidy and the lighting is appropriate; 3. Use a tripod to shoot to prevent shaking; 4. Adjust the shooting angle and example so the playback picture is smooth and the volume is appropriate. EaseUS EaseUS EaseUS Pros: No need to download third-party software.

Relatively late in the month, Microsoft has finally released the promised but optional update for Windows 11 version 24H2. Patch KB5040529 brings the operating system to build version 26100.1297 and introduces numerous features that have long been requested by testers. Get Windows 11 Pro for cheap Windows 11 Pro These improvements include positive changes to the lock screen, Start menu, and File Explorer. Microsoft has also made changes to widgets, emojis, and the Task Manager. At this point, the future of Windows 11 looks brighter than ever. Right now, the update is only available to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel, but everyone else will have access to 24H2 when it’s officially released in the fall. Here’s what to expect from this update. Lock screen personalization One important change is the redesign of the lock screen. Previously, a new Weather widget on the lock screen that couldn’t be personalized was annoying many users. But now? Widgets can finally be customized in the settings under Personalization. You can now set whether additional information about the weather, traffic, sports, or even finances should be displayed on your lock screen. You can have everything at a glance before you even log in; if you don’t want any information, you can deactivate the feature completely. Start menu and Taskbar changes The Start menu in Windows 11 has also been revised. The new account manager section gives you an overview of the benefits of your Microsoft account and quick access to your account settings. You can also pin apps to the Taskbar again. This was already possible in previous versions of Windows, but Windows 11 did not have this option until now (to the chagrin of numerous users). You can simply drag applications from the Start menu to the Taskbar and pin them there. The widget icons in the Taskbar also look slightly different thanks to the update. The display is more detailed and there are more animated icons available. Small but important steps forward. Task Manager gets a major upgrade The Task Manager is also getting a major overhaul. When you open it post-update, it displays the performance of the working memory in MHz to MT/s. This is a much better, more accurate indication of which applications are using the most memory. In addition, it’s now much easier to adjust the size of the window. Accessibility has also been improved, for example through better scaling of the text. A known problem where USB devices could not be safely removed while the Task Manager was open has also been fixed. Improved security In favor of better account security, users can enter an email address to restore their accounts—and there’s an extra button for this now. (This function was previously tested in some beta versions of Windows 11.) We’re also familiar with the option of saving sound settings and backing them up for future restoration, as well as the overview for linked devices from other versions (see update KB5037853 for Windows 11). Other notable new features In File Explorer, users can drag files with the mouse between the breadcrumbs in the address bar, making navigation much faster. In addition, the Windows sharing window has been revised and enhanced with the option to directly create QR codes for sharing files. You can also send emails to yourself and copy files directly from the sharing window. Last but not least, Windows 11 now supports the new 15.1 emoji standard, which not only includes new symbols but a better display. All of these new features are tentatively planned for Windows 11 version 24H2, but it’s all subject to change before official release. Incidentally, the Windows 11 update process itself is getting a revamp and will be much faster and more intelligent going forward. Note: Despite lots of additions, Windows 11 version 24H2 will also be removing several apps and features. Just be sure you don’t need any of them before you dive into this optional update. Read...
