Hades Gaming Products - H1 Gaming Mouse

H1 Packaging & First Look:

The H1 Mouse we received is not really geared for North American sales at this time.  While we could find some English on the box, it was mostly Chinese.  That being said, the actual packaging is quite attractive and follows the company theme and colors very well.  Unlike many other companies that show off their product with clear packaging, you don't get to see the Hades H1 Mouse until you take it out of its house.

Thankfully there is enough English on the box so that we can get an idea of what is required and on what type of platform this mouse will work.

Not Made In America

As far as bundles go, the Hades H1 comes fairly equipped - especially for a mouse.  In the box you get the mouse, a software CD, a mouse pouch, and some replacement/additional mouse feet.  Not only that, but there are removable weights in the mouse that can be stored in the pouch or left in depending on your preference.

For a company that seems I've never heard of, they actually have a nice finish to their product.  Even the software is Hades branded and the Autorun screen keeps on pushing their image.
