Like the vast majority of gaming mice on the market, the Meduza features a soft-touch black paint finish which spans the top section of the mouse. Epic Gear have edged this with strips of gloss-black plastic on either side for visual effect but have retained the soft touch finish for the sides of the mouse where a finish with more grip is preferable.
The build quality of the Meduza is up to the same high standard a we've experienced with mice from the likes of Roccat and SteelSeries. In fact, the ergonomic design of the Meduza isn't dissimilar from that of the Roccat Kone. All the plastics used in construction feel high quality and we cannot pick any faults in the way the mouse is put together.
Epic Gear has chosen to use a right-handed form factor for the mouse.
Epic Gear have chosen to use contoured left and right click buttons which fit nicely to your fingers. The mouse-wheel feels refined but seems to rattle slightly when scrolling slowly.
We find the browser forward and back buttons in their usual location in the top portion of the thumb alcove on the left hand side of the mouse. This positioning is ideal as it makes it quite difficult to activate them accidentally while still allowing quick access.
Along the bottom edge on the left hand side of the mouse there is a row of four LED lights which indicate the current DPI level of the mouse. The DPI switch is located on the top of the mouse, directly behind the mouse-wheel.
Above the LED indicators there is an additional button which switches between profiles and can change the colour of the illuminated bands which straddle the mouse-wheel. Unfortunately this doesn't change the colour of the illuminated logos on the back of the mouse.
In a similar fashion to most other quality gaming mice, the Meduza features a braided cable which features red banding for visual effect. It's also good to see that Epic Gear have chosen to use a gold-plated USB connector as it reassures us that they haven't cut any corners in the design and manufacture of the Meduza.
