| CM Storm Reaper is a very solid product, overall we are impressed
by build quality and design. The aluminium plate adds extra weight but at same time
the design becomes unique. So far this is one of the best built gaming
mice we've ever come accross. The only thing we didn't like too much is
the high weight of this gaming mouse, although we have to add, this is a
personal preference. |

| We have already reviewed a gaming mouse with the
excellent Avago 9500 sensor and the reaper is based on the even newer
Avago 9800, which really is king of the hill. 8200 DPI resolution is
definitely more then every gamer might ever need. Furthermore we like the glide pads,
which are made from teflon are big and the offer excellent gliding
characteristics. We have used the Reaper with a Power-RX mousemat and the experience is
just great. With its 145g, it is not a lightweight mouse and it's slightly unbalanced on the front; if you
put too much weight on the front part of the mouse while pressing
buttons, the back is going to lift. |

well as all the functional aspects. |

| Using geizhals.eu
to check prices we see that the CM Storm Reaper goes for 65 Euros
excluding shipping costs. The price is ok, especiall since this is a
high-end product. The performance is excellent and the ergonomics are
great. If you are looking for a gaming mouse with a unique design and good quality, we recommend the CM Storm Reaper. |
