Overall we are very impressed with what the CM Storm Reaper gaming mouse has to offer.  We would go as far to say that it's the best product in CM Storm's new aluminium gaming series as the Pulse R headset and Mech keyboard have some minor issues which need to be addressed.

The build quality and design of the mouse really set it out from the crowd. A large proportion of gaming mice on the market are very similar in terms of design, however the CM Storm seems rather unique in appearance. The aluminium plate adds to the weight, though, so those who prefer a light mouse should consider other options.

We were very impressed with the performance of the reaper throughout our tests, however we highly doubt that there are many gamers who will actually make use of the full resolution of the 8,200 dpi sensor.  This chase for ultra high resolution sensors seems somewhat pointless in our opinion.

At a price of around £50 from Scan, we feel that the Reaper is a good option for those looking for an attractive and well featured gaming mouse in this price bracket.  It also makes the perfect companion to the Pulse-R headset and Mech keyboard which also feature in CM Storm's Aluminium range.

Pros:

• Sophisticated appearance.
• Impressive performance.
• Massive resolution capability.
• Comprehensive software utility.
• Removable aluminium plate (easily customisable).

Cons:

• The use of aluminium makes the mouse feel quite heavy.

KitGuru says: An impressive mouse, which is the most impressive product in CM Storm's aluminium range.
