Today I have the CM Storm Spawn to unbox. This is Arming the Gaming
Revolution. It is a 3500 DPI precision optical gaming mouse with onboard
Sentinel X 32 kilob. So that is memory on board with a claw style ergonomic
design, superior rubberized anti-slip grip design, which is good for a claw
grip. And let's see what else they have to say for themselves. So, you can adjust it between 800,800 and 3500 DPI.
It takes 60 images per second. It supports up to 20 gs of
acceleration. Okay. What else? Maximum 1,000 Hz, which is the max USB transfer
rate. Okay. Seven programmable. Oh, seven fully programmable buttons. Very
nice. Omron 5 million click micro switches. Ultra Swift Teflon feet. A 2 m
goldplated USB cable. Let's see what else they got to say for themselves in
here. strength, security, and control. Fascinating. Okay. Anti-drift control.
So, what's that mean? What's anti-drift? Uh, the Spawn game mouse
utilizes a high performance optical engine, and ensures extreme stability. Built with an anti-drift architecture,
provides lossless performance under mouse lift and drop with a built-in
angle snapping option, one can formulate the perfect flick shot, and maximize
their kill rates. Highly adaptive under all speeds, the Spawn endures all
tactical movements. Okay, let's open this baby
up. Oh, give me a sec here, guys. Okay, I
had to break those seals. And let's take out the mouse itself. So, the first
thing I notice about this particular mouse is that it is an ergonomic style
mouse. So, what that means is
that it will only really fit in the
right hand. If you try to use this with your left hand, it is not going to work
very well at all because the positioning will be all
wrong. However, if you use it in your right hand, this is going to fit like a
glove. You can see actually I would say right off the bat that this would be
best for someone with smaller hands like myself because you can see that fits
very comfortably. Whereas, if I had larger hands, I don't know that it would
work quite as well. Mind you, if you're using a fingertip grip or a claw style
grip, then a smaller mouse can be preferred, especially if you have these
rubberized grips on the side, which allow you to manipulate the mouse even
if you are not palming it like someone like me would. However, if you do have a
small hand, you will be able to palm this mouse quite comfortably. So, let's
show you guys the positioning of the buttons. So, here there are no buttons.
Here, there's a nice contour for your ring finger. Here you've got your right
click, your left click, your middle click, your scroll wheel, your DPI up
and down. You've got your forward and back buttons here on the side, and
another rubberized grip here. The overall look of the mouse is very, very
sharp. This is a nice metallic red. I hope you can make out the the finish of
that color right there. It looks really, really good. And then on the bottom, you
can see here we've got the 3500 DPI Storm Tactical sensor here, as well as a
Teflon foot at the top and a Teflon foot at the bottom. The mouse cord itself is
not braided, but it is a very um flexible feeling cord, so it
shouldn't get in your way when you're gaming. And you've got a goldplated USB
connector right here, including gold-plated contacts on the inside. So,
that should ensure that you don't lose your connection very easily, uh, and
that it doesn't wear out as easily as mice without goldplated
connectors. So, thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Storm Tactics CM
Storm Spawn mouse from Cooler Master. CM
