Closer Look

Having a first look at the Reaper quickly shows, that this is a voluminous and ergonomically shaped gaming mouse. This rodent has been built to suite the needs of right-handed people. Other than that there is a surface, which is very grippy and features a matte finish. The bottom part of the Reaper as well as the mouse wheel are made from Aluminium, whereas the wheel is actually surprisingly heavy. Additionally the wheel comes with quite a rough structured surface, which also grips very well. Inbetween the back metal plate and the DPI buttons, there is a light strip which offers very decent and appealing backlight. Also in the front, on both sides of the braided cable, there is one LED each which look like headlights of a car, once one.
The Reaper also uses well-known Omron switches which can withstand more than 50 million klicks. In total there are eight buttons: the classics left and right, the wheel, two buttons placed behind the wheel (usually for DPI regulation) and three close to the thumb.

Bottom side and weight stones

CM Storm decided to equip the Reaper with an Avago 9800, state-of-the-art laser sensor. The maximum resolution is 8200 DPI, more than enough for every kind of gamer. The laser sensor is not placed in the center but more in the front. If you're looking for additonal weight stones, you will be disappointed, since there aren't any. Netto weight of this mouse is 145 gram, which is actually quite heavy. Cooler Master decided to provide the Reaper with big glide pads, which got positioned in a symmetrical manner. Furthermore the glide pads are made from teflon, which means they will last very long. A closer look at the cable reveals, that it has been braided an the plug received gold platining.
