A Closer Look Part 1

A Closer Look

On one side of the transport bag, we can see a little blue ROCCAT logo:

The black envelope has on the back side the ROCCAT website address listed:

Also on the back side of the envelope, we can see the direction in which we have to pull to open it:

Here we can find an installation CD, the ROCCAT membership card and the Quick Installation Guide:

The little CD which is supplied contains the necessary drivers, the manual in PDF format, but also some ROCCAT extras like wallpapers and so on:

The Quick Installation Guide explains us in detail with drawings and text how to operate the mouse from installing the batteries to shutting it down and preparing it for transport while we travel:

The supplied batteries are 2xGP Industrial AAA NiMH 700mAh; these rechargeable batteries do not have a memory effect, so we won’t have to discharge them fully before recharging. They will gain, though, full capacity after some charge/discharge cycles. These batteries are easy to replace and can be found in many stores, from a lot of brands and are not that expensive either:

The USB wireless adapter has the product name logo on it; it is so little that we can plug it into a spare USB port on our laptop and leave it there, even when we are on the go:

On the back of the adapter, we get to see on what frequency it operates:

The charging cable has on one side the stylish shaped ROCCAT connector:

On the other side, we can see the miniUSB port, which plugs into the mouse, also shaped very interestingly:

The mouse itself is fully black, except the central line in which we can find a blue LED; its shape reminds us a little of the ROCCAT Kova, which is a little bigger and has more LEDs:
