Introduction
Cooler Master is a strong competitor in the gaming peripherals market, and their latest mice have proven to be fantastic. I previously reviewed the MasterMouse MM520 and MM530 models, which had a ridiculously good price-value ratio, and this time, Cooler Master went with an even lower price tag. The CM310 offers a lot of RGB lighting across the mouse with five pre-defined options, a PixArt PMW3325 optical sensor, matte UV coating, and rubberized side grips. The shape is not very common, but I have the feeling I've already seen it somewhere.

Packaging
Most newer Cooler Master products arrive in a box that features this dark gray-purple color scheme, which I personally find very nice. There's an outer cardboard layer, which contains an inner box with the CM310 inside. There are no accessories—the only contents of the box are the mouse and a quick-start guide. Unfortunately, replacement mousefeet also haven't been included, but at this price point, that is forgivable.
