For all those gamers out there who use a claw grip, Cooler Master’s CM Storm Spawn vies for your attention. Packed in an attractive box, the Spawn is quite a snazzy mouse. It has a two-toned color scheme with a blend of metallic red and dull black finish. It instantly grabs your attention, quite unlike a glowing Alienware mouse. The CM Storm Spawn is highly ergonomic and easy to grip, courtesy of rubber coating around the side. We personally like the Spawn’s extra groove to rest your ring finger; it enables better than average claw grip and is a testimony to the mouse’s ergonomic. The product is light and doesn’t have the option of adding weights.
The CM Storm Spawn comes with a gold plated USB plug at the end of two meter long cable. There are two customizable buttons on the mouse’s left rubber grip, which can be programmed with macros via software downloaded from www.cmstorm.com. The mouse has built-in anti drift controls to prevent wayward pointer movements while lifting or dropping the Spawn. The CM Storm Spawn also offers two dedicated buttons below the scroll wheel for on-the-fly DPI changes. However, we find the three predefined levels – only at 800, 1800 and 3500 DPI – a bit limiting.
Gaming with the Spawn is very good. We experienced absolutely no issues with the claw grip design. After a small learning curve and with enough time, even large hands can adapt to the Spawn. Response time was great, there was no lag while p-laying games like Crysis 2 and Brink, and on-the-fly DPI tweaking was instantaneous. Movement was fine, the mouse gripped the table surface well and there was no unnecessary skidding. The Omron Micro switches – good for five million clicks – make clicks feel soft, nice and cosy. The Spawn is definitely worth a try, especially for FPS gamers.
