Hades Gaming H1 Optical Gaming Mouse & Mat
Introduction, packaging, package and specification
Published: 5th November 2007 | Source: Hades Gaming | Price: tba |
The gaming mouse market is a very competitive place, filled with big names that always seem to come out with mice that are gamers favorites. When a newcomer comes into the fray there's a big pressure to have a standout product.
Hades Gaming are one such brave company. Their H1 Optical Gaming Mouse has entered the market aimed squarely at gamers. I've been (literally) playing with the mouse for a couple of weeks now, so let's get into it.
Packaging
The packaging came as a bit of a nice surprise when I received the package. I was expecting a box aimed at "gamers", meaning a horrible bright box with some garish colours and cheesy logo's but I was pleasantly surprised.
The box has a nice amount of information on it and is in a colour that's fairly pleasing on the eyes. Inside the mouse is packed up nicely so you shouldn't have any trouble with damages.
All in all a nice box to come through your door.
Package
The package with the mouse is more than you usually get with normal mice and about on par with the other gaming mice in the market. You've got:
* Soft LAN mouse case
* 2 x Spare sets teflon mouse feet
* Manual and Driver CD

The manual and driver CD come in a rather nice little package as before presented very well. The addition of the spare feet are awesome and sure to come in handy for those who wear out the feet of their mice a lot. Combined with the small mouse pouch, useful for LANs and the manual, these little touches are great to make you think you've got a little bit extra with your mouse.

3200DPI seems rather high for a gaming mouse and I assume this must be interpolated.

Nice review kemp, personally im not too sure on the looks, looks abit plasticy to me tbh.... Seems a solid performer mind, the mouse matt also looks pretty good.
I don't think it's any more plasticky than my Logitech G5, apart from perhaps the two issues I brought up
Great review as usual Kemp. The Hades performed really well, especially against a very seasoned vet like the G5. I also love the fact that the mouse is so configurable.
Ye me too Peevs
