Closer Look
From looking at the Raptor M30 you can see, that most of it's body has been
colored black and there is a small, red bezel on top surrounding the two main buttons. Inbetween these two buttons, there is the clickable and quite
big, rubber coated mouse wheel. As you can also see on the pictures above, there are
edges and corners which you actually can feel quite well when you have the mouse
in your hand. Apart from those edges, the surface feels soft and comfortable.
Underneath you're palm there is a small Corsair logo, that features a backlight. If
you look at the third picture, there is quite a big rubber pad, which provides
excellent grip. Right above there are two buttons, that are to be used with your
right hand thumb. In other words this mouse has been designed for right handed
people.
Back
Once
the Corsair Raptor M30 has been put on it's side we get a clear view to the
sensor. In this case we found the same one that Corsair also puts into their M40
mouse, which we reviewed not long ago. In fact it is an Avago ADNS-3090 with
4000 DPI. The next thing that caught our attention are the huge glide pads,
which have been made from PTFE (teflon). Apart from that you get a 1.5 meter,
braided cable, that looks and feels very nice.
