Mountain Makalu 67 Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2020-09-24

As the first mouse from Mountain, Makalu 67 presents itself as a quite impressive product, incorporating the latest trends and technologies from the gaming segment; we do get the latest PixArt PAW3370 high-end sensor with a tracking DPI of up to 19000, 1-2mm lift-off distance but also a much lowered error rate versus the previous versions. The ribcage design of the chassis looks more interesting versus the hexagonal hole pattern we have seen with other brands and is much less prone to flex as well.

The product comes with a modern, functional packaging and on the top cover we will spot the saying “Reach your Summit”:

 

 

 

On one of the sides, Mountain has placed drawings with the box contents, but also the technical specifications list:

 

 

 

 

The opposite side will display the product serial number but also the announcement on the partnership with Plastic Bank; this assures that no wasteful packaging is used, premium material taking their place such as EPE foam:

 

 

 

On the packaging we will also note the inclusion of a short product description, in multiple languages:

 

 

 

On the back, we will get to see detailed explanations regarding the product construction but also the software:

 

 

 

The part which needs to be opened in order to access the mouse compartment has been elegantly designed in order to house the Mountain logo; this area is also held in place with magnetic force:

 

 

 

After lifting the top cover, we will note that the Makalu 67 mouse is surrounded by recyclable foam:

 

 

 

Nearby, we will take note of the company founder’s resolution and in the background we do have some interesting drawings of the mouse chassis:
