The well-known A4Tech company wants seriously to involve itself in the gaming hardware peripherals business via the Bloody Technology brand. With this name they have quite a few mice already on the market, at very competitive prices and at the same time sporting good quality materials and high-end sensors.

As we have seen with other products in the past, the ZL5A box also opens up like a book in order to reveal more info, but we will be also be able to take a sneak peak at the mouse itself, without unsealing the enclosure:

After opening up the box, we will get to see two nice stickers featuring the Bloody logo, one small leaflet which instructs us to go to the Bloody Software Download page, but also a product catalog:
