Introduction
Cooler Master is not a newcomer when it comes to gaming peripherals. They had quite a few successful models so far, but as time went by, those models needed some tweaking. In my previous review, I have shown you the Xornet in its evolved form, the MasterMouse MM520, and today I'm reviewings the revamped Mizar/Alcorm, which is now called Master Mouse MM530. It wasn't just a quick touch up as it is pretty much absolutely new; only the shape remained the same. Materials, sensor, MCU, buttons—all have changed. For better or for worse? Let us find out!

Packaging
As you can see, some render pictures and the usual technical specifications decorate the box, which has an openable front panel so you can take a look at your new mouse through a transparent plastic cover. The contents of the box are a user manual, set of extra mouse feet, and, of course, the MM530 itself.
