Raptor Gaming M3 Platinum Laser Mouse Review

Contents & Packaging

The M3 Platinum, great name by the way, is packaged in a sleek black box with the whole mouse visible through the plastic packing in the middle. The front sees the full delivery content plus a special mention on the adjustable DPI settings. A row of awards above the name Raptor Gaming logo finishes it off nicely.

The sides see some translations for multilingual purposes; after all Raptor-Gaming is predominately a German company and isn’t that well known in the UK as of yet. That could all change though with the M3 Platinum.

The back is full of information on the hardware requirements (they are pretty minimal), technical details and other bits and pieces. A number of images that display the different features are also shown including one at the bottom which appears to show a woman kissing the mouse! – Perhaps trying to make this mouse seem a little ‘sexy’ or something.

A whole host of accessories accompany the mouse:

• Raptor Mouse bag XL
• Raptor Weight bag
• Raptor-Gaming Wrist Rest
• Quick installation guide (German and English)
• Additional sets of mouse sliders
• Application software CD (always get the most current version on www.raptor-gaming.com)

The bags are great idea as they are perfect for transporting the mouse around to LAN parties etc. The inclusion of a separate, smaller weights bag is also not a bad idea as it keeps any additional weights that the user doesn’t need in the mouse together.

The Teflon feet that are provided are in many different sizes and shapes which is good so that the user can choose their own personal level of resistance.
