Mountain MacroPad: Packaging and Accessories

If you have read my previous reviews of Mountain products then you already know what to expect here. The product box adopts a black and blue color scheme with a color render of the MacroPad on the front to go with the product name and company logo itself. Primary features are listed on the back in multiple languages, along with confirmation of Mountain's continued collaboration with Plastic Bank to reduce ocean-bound plastic waste. I also appreciated the contents list on the side along with product specs, as this outer sleeve can be slid off the inner black box that simply has the company's logo and slogan on it. It is on the side where we see the now-customary cutout allowing you to lift open the box from the bottom akin to a fancy gift box.


There is paperwork in the form of a quick start guide as well as Mountain-branded stickers found on the underside of the lid. The other contents are snugly packed and protected inside a thick foam sheet with machined cutouts. Accessories provided with the MacroPad include a detachable USB Type-C to Type-A cable, in addition to a two-piece metal wire keycap puller and switch remover tool.


The final accessory allows the use of the Mountain MacroPad as a standalone product and this is a large base with an anti-slip rubber pad on the bottom which comes with a plastic film over it to be peeled off. The rubber is blue in color to match the Mountain product colorway and the company logo is stamped on it too. Note that this surface is quite sticky and will also attract dust and other contaminants fairly easily, if exposed upwards. The base is otherwise composed of ABS plastic elsewhere and weighs 418 grams by itself, to help ensure the MacroPad sticks in place.
