The exterior packaging of the Hellion is very nice indeed. The plush card sleeve is embellished with Leetgion is silver print to one side, a small cutout window displaying the Attack button to the other and raised Hellion lettering to the top.
Removing the outersleeve was a task in itself however once this was done we were greeted with an origami style box that flipped upen to reveal a 3mm perspex case lid which fully encased the Hellion Mouse. Beneath the mouse were a few spare mouse feet and an instruction manual.
It has to be said this is the best packaging I have ever seen with a mouse. Aside from not being able to 'try before you buy', the packaging is very classy and certainly gives off an air of 'Eliteness'.
Removing the perspex lid we finally got our hands on the mouse. I expected it to be quite heavy but in truth it is quite light weighing just 148g.
The mouse is very angular by design save for the palm rest which may seem harsh ergonomically speaking but in practice, the hard angles are situated where your hand/digits wouldn't rest. The edging towards the rear of the mouse is rounded nicely and very comfortable in the palm.
The 'business' side of the mouse features most prominently, the Attack button. Further towards the front you will see an aluminium plate which adds strength and durability to the mouse.
The right hand side of the mouse features the same aluminium plate and aside from the attack button is symmetrical so left handers may also find this mouse suits them (assuming they have no need for the attack button of course).
The front of the mouse is quite unique in that it has the page forwards and backwards buttons towards the edge of the and recessed in the primary left and right mouse buttons. These buttons surprisingly do not interfere with normal usage and could become very useful macro buttons.
The rear of the mouse has the 'tail light' which changes colour depending on the profile used. It also serves as a brief indicator to which DPI setting is used as the light flashes a colour when one of the DPI buttons beneath the tail is pushed (raise/lower).
Let's take a closer look...
