The CM Storm Havoc ships in a black box with a clear image of the mouse, engulfed in flames, on the front.
The back of the box lists several key features of the mouse and follows the same color scheme.
The front of the box is kept closed with Velcro. Opening the flap reveals the Havoc and a diagram of the layout of the mouse. Included in the box are the mouse, a leaflet with warranty information and the manual.
A top view of the mouse shows the CM Storm logo placed at the back of the mouse. Once connected, the logo lights up, as do the scroll wheel and DPI buttons. These buttons can be configured to light up in different colours, while the DPI LEDs on the top left of the mouse only light up white. The scroll wheel has a slightly rougher rubber finish to enhance your grip.
The right side of the mouse has a smooth glossy finish and does not feature any branding or special functions.
The left side of the mouse shows the three thumb buttons. The middle thumb button has a small protrusion, making it easier to correctly place your thumb without having to look at the mouse. The area surrounding the scroll wheel is glossy, creating an attractive contrast with the rubber texture.
The sensor has been placed slightly above the centre of the mouse, which is also where the only branding on the mouse can be found. The feet are made out of three parts, providing full coverage and even pressure distribution during operation.
The cable is entirely braided and is surprisingly smooth, preventing the wire from getting stuck on edges or fraying. A nice little touch is the CM Storm logo on the USB connector.
