Introduction

The SteelSeries Ikari Series mice, just being released not too long ago, are a perfect gaming addition for anyone looking to improve their gaming. With 15 months of research and development SteelSeries has been able to closely perfect the art of gaming mice for FPS as well as MMO/RTS gamers. This mouse offers up to 3,200 CPI and manual CPI adjustments for the perfect sensitivity. Wondering what CPI means?

Packaging

The SteelSeries Ikari Laser Mouse comes packaged in a high quality cardboard box with a clear plastic outline of the mouse so it can be viewable from the outside. The box is covered with the black and gray colors that they use on their products as well as their website. The front of the box gives a few major features of the mouse. The back of the box displays more information regarding the Ikari. An interesting note that I found on most SteelSeries boxes was that most of the information on the box can be read in at least four different languages.

Inside of the box we find

- Ikari Laser Mouse
- Software CD
- SteelSeries sticker
