Epic Gear Meduza Gaming Mouse with Hybrid Dual Sensor Technology

Packaging

The Meduza’s packaging is fairly standard. It comes in a matte black box with a view window on the front. Around back we get a glimpse of the sensors as well as a long list of specs and features and a few pictures. The rest of the box is basically blank.

Inside the box the only things included with the mouse are a very brief setup guide and the driver CD.

Hybrid Pad Surface

Included with our review sample was Epic Gear’s Hybrid Pad, designed specifically for this mouse and the HDST technology. The mouse pad came in similar box to the Meduza, with a matte black finish and a small view window that also lets us feel the material.

On the back of the box is a short description with some features and the available size list.

Epic Gear sent us the medium size pad, which is 350mm x 250mm x 3mm. The Hybrid Pad is available in small (292 x 208mm) and large (420 x 300mm) sizes as well. It is made of a cloth material but feels like a much tighter weave than most other cloth pads, giving it an extremely smooth texture.

I found there to be a slight but noticeable improvement in tracking on the Hybrid Pad over most other surfaces such as a standard cloth pad, wood, and a plastic mouse pad. Also, movement was much smoother on the Hybrid Pad than any other surface, allowing for a bit more precise control, especially when doing quick movements.

My preferred playing style is with a middle of the road DPI and medium sized movements, making the medium sized pad just right for me. For someone who likes to play with a lower DPI and large, quick movements, the medium may be a bit too small for your taste.
