Last year I had the pleasure of reviewing quite a considerable amount of gaming peripherals, more specifically - gaming mice. It's nice to be starting off a new year with yet another gaming peripheral. Both previous counterparts from the CM Storm, the Sentinel and Inferno caught our eye over the last 18 months and impressed, and the Spawn in similar fashion is a prolific release by CM Storm.

With its discerning, vibrant red exterior the Spawn focuses on an alternate grip than the traditional gaming mouse would have. The Spawn is lower profile, features a wide claw type grip and is specially designed for FPS gamers.
Under the hood we have a 3500 DPI Optical Sensor that features the anti-drift system - ensuring all movements are fluid, accurate and you experience lossless performance. I can confirm that in all the experience I had with the Spawn it was a pleasure to use. The onboard Sentinel-X 32KB memory allows you to store settings, manage up to 7 buttons and apply macros as and when you please.



Concerning comfort and durability the Spawn has all of these elements covered, firstly we have a combination of different materials used - anti-slip rubberized grip on both sides of the mouse so that you don't have any embarrassing encounters in-game. Secondly, the durability is covered by way of the Omron micro switches that CM Storm guarantee will deliver a minimum of 5 million clicks. Avid gamers should have no qualms about life-span that's for sure.

With an MSRP of around £30 / €40 / $46 the CM Storm Spawn is certain to dominate the mid-range market for gaming mice. The Spawn is a fresh approach, it looks unique and ticks all the boxes that assert it as a dominating product. Congratulations to CM Storm for bringing another innovative and diverse product to the table.
