Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2015-12-16

RIPJAWS MX780 is the first entry of G.SKILL in the gaming mouse peripheral market and they have aimed to make a good impression by using good quality materials, a proven Avago ADNS9800 laser sensor with DPI available up to 8200, 512KB internal storage for saving profiles, adjustable weight system and its ambidextrous design allows both lefties and right-handed people to use the product in optimal conditions by simply changing the side grips. Also, we would like to remind of the adjustable mouse back via the supplied tool and the four separate light areas which can be customized via the software interface.

As accessories, G.SKILL has included two weights, one adjustment tool but also two extra side grips:

 

 

 

The small weights have a rubberized layer around them and are marked with their weight value:

 

 

 

If we look on the insides of the side grips, we will discover that these feature magnets for mounting:

 

 

 

The RIPJAWS MX780 mouse does feature both black and metallic paint plastic on the top and laterals, while the inner core is made of aluminum; a first look might fool you a little that the top and laterals are made of aluminum too because of the high quality finish:
