Introduction
Dark Project is a Russian peripherals brand, which you might already know from my previous mouse reviews. This time, I'm going to review the ME1, which is the largest ergonomic mouse they offer. It's once again an ODM shell which very much resembles a well-known mouse on the market. The ME1 features a PMW3360 top optical sensor, Huano switches rated for 20 million clicks, a very low weight for its size, and of course RGB lighting.

Packaging
The ME1 arrives in the same style of box as the previously reviewed ME2 and ME3. It's a rather minimalist-looking package with the usual technical specifications and a render image on it. The box itself is made out of a very thick cardboard material, and the insides are stuffed with thick foam padding, so chances of physical damage during shipping are pretty much eliminated. Contents of the box are plenty with the ME1 itself, a quick start guide, some stickers, a microfibre cleaning cloth, and not one but two sets of extra mouse feet. Dark Project is again exemplary when it comes to extras.
