First Impressions
The box is your standard black Steelseries box with orange lettering. You get to see the mouse in the box which is nice. Around the box you get to see some of the various features that the mouse has. Opening the package up you get the mouse and a manual. Gone are the days when you would get a Steelseries sticker with your purchase. Drivers can be found on the Steelseries website at Steelseries.com/downloads
Closer Look
If you are a fan of mice with a slick, shiny surface this mouse will be fantastic for you. But if you do not like those types of mice this will not be a great fit. This mouse gets very dirty quickly due to the surface on the mouse. It is a slick black plastic so all of the dirt and oils from your hand will show up on it after a day of use. The sides of the mouse are a non-slick plastic and that feels great. Dirt doesn’t show up on there at all which is what I like in a mouse.
Clicking the mouse it feels very nice, there are no cheap switches at work here. With that there aren’t a ton of buttons either. You get three buttons and a scroll wheel. Getting used to having no thumb button takes some work, but you will eventually learn to live without it.
