What Cooler Master Had to Say

“The choice for gamers of all levels, providing unassuming dependability and reliability without asking for much – like that one nice guy who’s been friend-zoned but sticks around “just in case.” An adjustable DPI optical sensor offers gaming-grade performance, while the rubber side grips and weighted body give just the right level of comfort. And if you want to add some flavour, RGB Illumination gives your mouse the personality it deserves. Dependable and solid, the CM310 is an impressive mouse that will most likely never see you as more than just a friend.”

What’s in the Box

The box opens out, revealing the mouse stored very securely in a custom cut foam housing. The cable is hard-wired, but it is stored neatly in the top section of the box.

As I said, the mouse is hard-wired. However, there’s a durable and lightweight rubber sleeving on the cable, that should help prevent cable breakage well enough. The USB header is also nice and compact, so it should be an obstruction for those using it on a notebook PC.
