Unboxing


Box-minos-open


Cougar does nice boxes. The black and orange color theme is fairly aggressive and aimed squarely at gamers. I mean, you could use easily use the Revenger S for work, but explaining to your manager about needing ‘a mouse to attack those spreadsheets’ could be awkward.

Both the Minos and Revenger boxes are almost the same. I would venture to say that without seeing or reading a review, it would be difficult to figure out which mouse would be best for you. 


Revenger-stuff


Included in the box are the mouse, a manual, a card of some sort, and replacement Teflon feet. Because the shapes of the mouses are different, so too are the feet.


Minos-bottom


The Minos’s feet are two large patches front and back, while the Revenger S has three feet, due to the cut in the front of the Revenger S. They are both very smooth.

Having the cable on the left of the Revenger S triggered my desire for symmetry, but in practice, it didn’t cause any issues. Also, note the gold-plated USB connector. Also, note the size of the USB plug. In a crowded backside of a computer, the USB plugs are just large enough to be a bad neighbor to your other USB devices.

Overall, nicely done.
