JSCO Noiseless Gaming Mouse JNL-101K Review
Simon Telford / 14 years ago
Nearly all of the text on the box is in Korean, which is made out of thin cardboard and falls apart very easily, in fact you have to rebuild it every time you want to put the mouse back in the box.
On the front of the box, it has a nice cut out section so you can see the mouse in all its glory behind a rough fitting transparent plastic cover. There is also the JSCO logo and some Korean saying it’s a mouse for Game’. The box also says the mouse has a CPI setting of 1600 but says it has 4 motion’ which confused me for quite a while. Clearly Korean doesn’t translate too well into English and should probably say with 4 options/choices’ or settings’. The box also shows that you get a 2-year warranty and it is compatible with most operating systems. It is also kind enough to tell us it is made in Korean, if that wasn’t already quite obvious!
The back of the box is much of a similar story, 95% is in Korean with the odd English word cropping up here and there. This time it uses the phrase Optical Noiseless Mouse’, the first time this has been seen on the box or at least in English. As is usual, it lists the main features of the mouse from the front and expands on the details of these. The first feature which can be seen on the front is a speaker with a line through it, which is clearly a picture trying to show noiseless’. However there is not a single English word to communicate this. The next feature is the 1600 cpi (or dpi as they use the same word for dpi and cpi in Korean), which we can clearly see has 4 options, 750, 1000, 1250 and 1600 cpi. The third listed feature has a picture of the words real feeling’ which presumably refers to their attempt to make the feedback of the mouse feel the same as a mouse which has a nice mechanical click without it of course making a sound. Finally, the last feature is the extended 2 year warranty.
The side of the box contains only information from the front and back in a different layout, whereas the bottom of the box contains the specifications which are in Korean. Of course the copyright and trademark statement is in English.
Removing the inner packaging out of the box we are left with a very feeble 2-layer plastic stand (as it raises the mouse up so it’s at the top of the box) and sleeve. This is about 3 times bigger than it needs to be. Removing the see-through plastic sleeve from the top allows access to the mouse. The cable is hidden behind the bottom plastic layer.
