Since 1999, Razer has made a name for themselves in the user input industry. Opening their operation with the Boomslang, they have consistently built quality products. This consistency and strong product lineup have earned them many awards over the last 6 years. Their latest addition is no exception.

Packaging
As soon as the package arrived, I tore it open to check out what we had inside. The mouse came in a perfect cube shaped box. This cube is the perfect size for such a component. Many other manufacturers package their products in large obtrusive boxes that are unattractive and awkward. The mouse pad was securely padded between two pieces of mold foam. I am not going to dwell on this too much, but I thought it was worth adding that the products were packaged nicely, attractively and securely.


Initial Reaction
As I removed the products from their boxes, I began to bask in their gleaming white glory. The mouse is light, but felt substantial enough and of a quality build. The mouse pad is double-sided hard coat on an anodized aluminum base. I was very please with how sturdy it felt and the professional look that both products portrayed.

My only worry with the color of the product was how quickly that look would be marred. Like many gamers, I have been smoking for years and was worried of what kind of effect that would have on the white products. Furthermore, I was afraid that a scratch or small amounts of dust would quickly make me a bit obsessive compulsive about cleaning.
