Packaging
Everyone loves magnets, and G.SKILL is no exception—the front cover can be opened and is held together by them. The box itself is quite enormous, and it is covered in some render pictures as well as a ton of information in many different languages. The contents are held in place with a transparent plastic casing above a red base layer. It's an elegant and practical solution. The contents of the box are many: a small hex key (more on that later), two extra pieces of weight, a set of different, interchangeable side grips, a user manual, and of course, the mouse itself.
Shape
The Ripjaws MX780 definitely has some futuristic aesthetics; it's pretty much like a spaceship from a Sci-Fi. It has a fully ambidextrous, low-profile design by default. The base shape can be modified with the different side panels. There is one narrow and one wide set, and they are individually interchangeable, so you can put the narrow one on the left side and the wide one on the right, or vice versa.
The panel at the back of the mouse is height-adjustable with the provided hex key. There is a small socket for it at the bottom of the mouse, where you can set the height to your liking. Customization was a huge aspect when this mouse was designed. With all these adjustments, it can provide great comfort for many different hand sizes and grip styles.
The length is about 130 mm (5.12") , which is quite long. The width is 70 mm (2.76") at the widest part with the smaller side grips and 93 mm (3.66") with the bigger ones. The height is 38 mm (1.5") by default. I would say it can fit all hand sizes and grip styles depending on one's preferences. I wouldn't advise picking this mouse for a hand smaller than 16 cm, though.
