Introduction

Cyber Snipa offers a variety of gaming peripherals, and we previous looked at their Sonar 5.1 USB Headset. They also sent us their Stinger mouse, which features a 3200 dpi laser engine, nine buttons, and internal memory. Will the mouse make a difference in gaming, or just be a flop?

Packaging

The packaging for the Cyber Snipa Stinger mouse is a little louder than most, so it's probably far more noticeable on the shelf. The packaging highlights the laser movement, configurable buttons, and DPI switching. The picture of a person in combat gear is a little formidable.

The rear of the packaging more clearly shows the advantages of the mouse, including the DPI switcher and the high framerate and report rate. It also depicts the weight system. The overall motif of the packaging is black and blue, with some red thrown in to accentuate the mouse's red highlights.

Included in the packaging is the Stinger mouse, a manual, an installation CD, weight box, and extra glide pads.
