Packaging & Contents

The mouse package is fairly bulky, considering its contents. There is a large clear plastic area, so you can take a close look at the mouse. Even the back of the device can be inspected. All the features are listed in icon form on the front and in further detail on the back of the package. As you can see, there are only two languages - German and English on the above picture. The rest can be found on the side of the package.


The entire cardboard package is reinforced by the inner, clear plastic mold. It holds the mouse and the driver CD. It is of the smaller kind and has a full color label.
