GIGABYTE spent a pretty good chunk of time designing the packaging for FORCE M63. What is surprising here is that the mouse is advertised as FORCE M63 however, there is not any references to it on the packaging. “RAPTOR” is shown on the packaging. FORCE is GIGABYTE’s elite brand which offers only premium products. I strongly think that if that is the case, this should be mentioned on the packaging. Overall packaging has great description on the FORCE M63. One of the signature features of FORCE M63 is “Sniper” hotkey. This key is set up to change the DPI (Dots Per Inch) of the mouse based on the configuration. So when you need your DPI changed, all you have to do is hold down this key and instantly your mouse will be changed to different DPI.

The packaging opens up like a book and presents a clear view of the mouse. What jumps out is the little container which contains a set of weights that could be used to modify the weight of the mouse. Looking around the packaging I found a list of features and specifications of the GIGABYTE FORCE M63 Raptor. Overall appearance of FORCE M63 is greatly represented within this package.

I do have to say I like the visual representation of the GIGABYTE FORCE M63. Everything is displayed nice and neatly with the USB cable hidden from view. As I have mentioned earlier, the GIGABYTE FORCE M63 Raptor comes with a set of weights (3×1.8 Grams and 3×5.3 Grams). To mod your mouse you can make it either really light or add some weight to it. The lightest weigh which could be achieved is 85g and heaviest is 107g (±5g).
