Raptor Gaming M3 Platinum Laser Mouse Review

Introduction

Gaming mice have developed in recent times into a whole new sort of rodent combining adjustable DPIs, moulded finger placements, cable-routing and much more. The latest product up for review is the Raptor M3 Platinum which will hope to raise Raptor’s profile in the UK by showing off its vast adjustability allowing the user to create their prefect mousing setup. Let’s take a look…

Raptor-Gaming’s Take on the M3 Platinum

The brand new RAPTOR-GAMING M3 PLATINUM re-invents the era of adjustable Gaming-Mice. It offers much more options of individualisation and the ergonomic shape is completely renewed compared to all already existing mice of RAPTOR-GAMING. The resolution of the laser mouse is adjustable by hardware in steps of 800, 1600, 2400 and 3200 dpi.

A truly highlight is the new weight-change system. It allows the user through the RAPTOR-STEELWEIGHTS to not only define the weight but also the weight-point of the mouse.

The innovative ergonomic right-hand design and the special soft-touch surface secure that Gamers hands will never slip off the mouse again. The elegant silk-black and silver mouse also includes additional sets of mouse gliders and a flexible cable with a length of 2m. Another innovative new feature is the integrated cable management system. This gives the Gamer the freedom to decide in 6 different ways on how the cable should leave the mouse. The size of the mouse can be adjusted with the new RAPTOR-GAMING-WRIST-REST.

To complete the extensive feature set of this Hardcore-Gamers weapon, two additional neoprene-bags are included in the delivery content. One bag is specially designed for the secured transportation of the Mouse (RAPTOR-MOUSEBAG XL) to LAN-Parties. The second, smaller bag, is designed for the secured transportation of the different weights (RAPTOR-WEIGHTBAG).
