Like most mouse packaging these days, the Strix Claw's features some high quality box art images.
You can pop open the front on this one which is good if you happen to be buying in person, rather than online (there are still some people that buy in a physical store, right?).
Inside it breaks down some of the mouse's main features – like its use of a precision, high-grade PixArt PMW3310 optical sensor. The reason that sounds familiar is because PixArt bought Avago a while back – so essentially this is the Avago 3310 sensor. A true enthusiast favourite.
There is quite a bit of documentation with the Strix Claw – but that is only because it is all in about 30 different languages. The quick-start guide only contains a short section on how to set it up, before giving you three A4 size pages of feature lists in everything from German to Korean.
There is also a bundled driver CD, for those that did not just go straight to the website and download the latest version of the back-end software.
The Strix Glide Speed Mat ships with similarly high quality packaging. Sadly it does not feature the two little texture touch pads which I have come to appreciate on other mouse mat boxes – these let you know what the material of the mat inside is actually like.
Documentation is a little less heavy-handed with the mat, but it is still rather chunky and is supplied rolled up inside the packaging.
i use strix claw 2 days. bought it used for 40€.
i used steelseries sensei before and i was scared because of optical sensor. but strix claw is really good mice for the price. i can recommend it but not pay more than 50€..
