Introduction
If you follow eSports at all, Fnatic will not be an unfamiliar name since they have been one of the top teams in the industry and have been competing professionally not only online but at events such as Dreamhack and ESL. With such a successful team, partnerships with companies like SteelSeries were lucrative, and they have released Fnatic-branded products. However, Fnatic has now decided to go it alone and acquired Func, a peripheral manufacturer who has been making keyboards and mice for quite some time. The peripheral range will now be called Fnatic Gear and can be purchased directly from Fnatic or over resellers.

Packaging
The packaging for the Fnatic Gear Flick is very simplistic and clean. There is only a rather nice image of the mouse on a stylized white background. Having had time with both the Flick and the Rush (Fnatic Gear's keyboard) I can tell you that this is a running theme with Fnatic Gear products. I was surprised by how simplistic and professional the packaging actually looks. Given these products have the Fnatic branding, I was expecting their packaging to target young fans more to try to increase sales, which isn't the case.
The rear of the box is somewhat darker and gives us an insight into some of the features we expect to see with such an ergonomic design - mention of a drag-reducing cord and pro-grade optical sensor being made.
On the side of the box is a specifications list, which is gray on a dark background, making it a little harder to see in this image. The main point we are interested in is that there is a Pixart 3310 sensor with an adjustable report rate of up to 1000hz. It has a maximum resolution of 5000 CPI you can reduce or increase in increments of 50 CPI.
