It doesn’t scroll left or right, only up or down and functions as another button with low activation force (for its kind). The scroll wheel is textured and is not too stiff or too loose. Here is a shot from the front of the mouse. I’ll elaborate more on this on the next page. Some may not like the fact that it’s easy to press the buttons on the opposite side when gaming, but don’t worry, just use the software to disable their function. They aren’t really stiff like some mice, I like the feedback they offer. Each side has two buttons, by default one loads your previous webpage, while the other one loads the next webpage so there is nothing unusual about that. This is because it’s an ambidextrous mouse. The left and right sides are identical in both shape and included buttons. The entire body has a very light rubber coating increasing your grip, but there isn’t too much rubber like the original Sentinel Advance, which wears out over time and peels off in small bits. The Recon has a nice, matte black finish with contrasting grey on each side and a CM Storm logo near where your palm would be. See the following pictures to help you clarify which grip type you use or prefer. The CM Storm Recon is an ambidextrous mouse designed for the palm grip, but it works as a fingertip grip mouse too. Nothing to complain about here, it’s a well packaged mouse. It’s complete with a manual and wrapped cable with a covered USB plug. So that pretty much wraps up the unboxing. “Super grip coating” is correct, I’m typing this with only my left hand since my right one is still stuck to the Recon. But this one packs a bit of a surprise on this regard… as you’ll see later. Multi-color LED is nice to have, it’s something that Cooler Master has spoiled me with since their very first mouse, the Sentinel Advance. Opening the box reveals the mouse, covered in clear protective plastic, as well as a photographic features list. The dimensions indicate it is more or less an average sized mouse. Highest grade Japanese electronic components (micro switches) is a nice thing to have, as is integrated memory and full speed 1000 hz polling rate/1 ms response time. It looks like you can crank up acceleration quite a bit, for the few who would do such a thing. This explains the identical DPI (dots per inch) ratings. Less typing for me! I’ll describe them a bit… the Avago 3090 sensor is the same optical sensor used on the CM Storm Spawn, one of the only CM Storm mice I’ve never used. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? It’s descriptive and appealing.Īh, the specs are on the back. So let’s start from the top the box design is pretty much the same as the Sentinel Advance II and Inferno. I’ll tell you from the start, this will be a longer than usual Unboxing section. It’s quite special in the sense that it’s ambidextrous… not many of those around are there? I was a bit worried about the layout of an ambidextrous gaming mouse, so let’s see how the Recon looks and feels. Here in front of me is another CM Storm gaming mouse waiting to be tested. In a relatively short amount of time, they’ve achieved quite a lot. Do you know what they all have in common? They were all impressive products, especially the mice, keyboard, and headset. Just looking at their CM Storm branded peripherals, recently we have looked at the Skorpion mouse bungee, QuickFire Rapid, Trigger, QuickFire Pro, Sentinel Advance II, Speed RX mouse pad, among others. Cooler Master has really been on a roll as of late.
