Introduction
Nixeus was established 2009, in Los Angeles, California, and the company specializes in monitors, peripherals, and other consumer electronics. Their first mouse, the REVEL, was released a few years ago, and it was a huge success for the company because it was among the first SteelSeries Sensei-type mice with a low weight and PixArt PMW3360 sensor. Its follow-up product is the REVEL Fit, and I think it will at the very least be as successful as its predecessor. This shell is based on the shape of the legendary Logitech MX500 series. The mouse is not a 1:1 copy as there are major differences, but the shell is relatively similar. It comes with a PMW3360 sensor, Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks, and an all-rubberized, stealthy black surface coating.

Packaging
The Nixues REVEL Fit comes in a standard-sized box with a cut-out at the front, where you can peek through at and poke your new mouse behind a transparent plastic cover. The box features the standard technical specifications and information in a simple black and white style. The contents are the mouse itself, a quick start guide, warranty information card, and, fortunately, an extra set of mouse feet. Again, a smaller company can do what most of the "big guys" still cannot—providing replacement skates should be mandatory in my opinion.
