The mouse comes packed in a black box with the Mionix logo on the front with a big picture of the mouse itself. On the back you can read about its features and specifications and see a picture of the left side of the mouse.

When you open up the box you will see the mouse right away, it's placed in the middle of the box and covered with a plastic protective cover so it's in perfect shape when you get it. The mouse itself reminds me a tad of the Razer mice I have seen but it seems somewhat more ergonomic than previous mice I have reviewed.
