Bottom Line

Choose the Cherry M64 Pro for a very light, plug-and-play ergonomic mouse with strong wireless tracking. Skip it if you need software, fine DPI control, fingertip comfort, or an easy front charging cable.

Best for

Best for right-handed gamers who want a lightweight ergonomic mouse with fast wireless tracking, 8K polling options, and plug-and-play on-device settings. It is most appealing for palm or claw users who like a low front and locked-in thumb groove.

Not for

Not for large-handed users who need a roomy palm or claw fit, fingertip-grip players who dislike curved ergonomic shells, or anyone who wants full software customization and a conventional front charging port.

Verdict

The Cherry M64 Pro earns praise as a lightweight, right-handed ergonomic gaming mouse with strong tracking, stable 2.4GHz wireless, broad on-device performance controls, and a distinctive low-front shape. Reviewers repeatedly liked its 54-55g weight, smooth glide, and responsive sensor. The tradeoff is that Cherry's no-software approach keeps setup simple but makes detailed customization tedious, and the side-mounted USB-C port can make charging or wired use awkward. Comfort is also hand-size dependent: several reviewers liked the locked-in palm or claw feel, while IGN found it cramped for larger hands. Its value is strongest for plug-and-play competitive players who want the 8K option, but weaker for users expecting premium software and refinement at $139.

Reviewer Consensus

Strong agreement: Reviewers most consistently agree that the M64 Pro is very light, responsive, and capable of strong wireless gaming performance.

Mixed opinions: Opinions are split on the shape and no-software controls, which some reviewers found comfortable and simple while others found cramped or tedious.

Common concern: The most repeated concern is the awkward side charging port, followed by limited software-free customization at the Pro model's price.

FAQ

Is the Cherry M64 Pro good for FPS games?

Yes, reviewers generally found the tracking fast, precise, and responsive for shooters. The main caveat is shape preference: the ergonomic shell may feel controlled and locked-in for some hands but cramped for larger users.

Does the Cherry M64 Pro have software?

No. Reviewers repeatedly note that settings are handled on the mouse through switches, buttons, and indicator lights, which supports plug-and-play use but limits fine customization.

How light is the Cherry M64 Pro?

Reviewers consistently cited roughly 54-55 grams for the Pro model. Weight was one of the clearest strengths across the review set.

Is the side charging port a problem?

Several reviewers found the side USB-C port awkward because the cable can drag or sit near the hand while charging. A flexible cable helps, but it is still one of the most common complaints.

How is the battery life?

Battery life is rated up to 90 hours and was good in standard or mixed use, but IGN reported much shorter life when using peak performance settings such as 8K polling and Pro Gaming mode.

Is the Cherry M64 Pro worth the Pro price?

It depends on whether you value the 8K dongle and plug-and-play design. Reviewers liked the performance, but several questioned the $139 price because competing mice offer software support and similar high-end specs.
