Cougar 550M Gaming Mouse Review

Intro

If you are a gamer on a PC, 99.9% chance you are using a mouse, heck if you use a PC, 95% chance you are using a mouse.  I know some use a touchscreen monitor as an input device, but after 5 minutes of that,… you are back on your mouse.  Keyboard and mouse have ruled the PC for a very long time and that may change one day, but not today.  Today I will be reviewing Cougars 550M Gaming Mouse.

Let’s check out the unboxing

2

Just a few things in the box, it is a tiny box.  So first off, we have the instruction manual.

3

At first I thought it was a book type manual, where you open it and turn pages from right to left, but it turned out to be a single sheet folded nicely.

This side shows the features and system contents in a few languages

5

The other side shows you a bit on the UIX software, which we will go over a little later in the review.

6

They also provide you with this very important piece of information,… I know now.

Digging in a little more, we find guitar pics stuck to a sheet of paper.  Really they are stickers, pretty cool ones too.  Sadly the Dragonblogger logo is not a sticker that they include,… but it should be.

The cable for this mouse is braided, a very nice and tight braiding.  It was a little difficult to get a nice shot of the braiding since it was so tight, but I think I got a good one.

8

On one end of the cable, we have the Gold platted USB plug.  On this side, it shows you USB logo.

9

Flipping the plug over, we find the Cougar logo.

At the other end of the 5.91 Foot beautifully braided cable, we find the mouse itself.
