Introduction

Gigabyte is mostly known for making motherboards. However, they have also been making computer peripherals like mice and keyboards for some time now. Most of these are very budget oriented both in features and price. With the XM300, Gigabyte keeps the budget friendly pricing, but offers Omron switches, a top-end SDNS 3988 optical sensor, and RGB lighting. So the feature set is there to make it an excellent mouse on paper, but how does it hold up in real life?

The Package

The box is a simple affair that features the mouse and highlights some of its key features, like its RGB lighting and maximum DPI.


As per usual, opening the cover kept in place by Velcro let's you get a much better idea of the size and shape of the mouse.


Inside the box are only the mouse and some extra Teflon mouse feet. This is by far the most minimalist mouse bundle I have seen so far, but there is, on the other hand, at least one less manual to throw out.
