Packaging

As you can see, some render pictures and the usual technical specifications decorate the box, which has an openable front panel so you can take a look at your new mouse through a transparent plastic cover. The contents of the box are a user manual, set of extra mouse feet, and, of course, the MM530 itself.

Shape

We can say that the MM530 has quite a safe shape. There are no unnecessary ledges or parts that randomly stick out. It's mainly designed for a palm grip, but you might be able to use it with a claw or fingertip grip depending on your hand's size and personal preference. With side buttons only on the left side, the form factor is obviously right-handed.


Unlike the MM520, the MM530 did not introduce size or shape changes compared to its predecessors. It has the exact same size as the Alcor and Mizar. Of course, both the surface and internals have changed quite a bit.


When it comes to size, the mouse is somewhere between medium and large. It is 124.8 mm (~4.91") long, 60.4 mm (~2.38") wide, and 40.2 mm (~1.58") tall. This makes it slightly smaller than a Razer DeathAdder (127 x 70 x 44), but a tad longer than a Zowie EC2 (120 x 61 x 40), just to mention two commonly used, similarly designed mice.
