Packaging
The front of the package for the Legendary shows of a nice action shot of the mouse, set against a faded map of Azeroth. It is easy to see what sets this mouse apart from others, including the previous two versions SteelSeries has released. The most noticeable is the lightning graphic that originates from a glowing orb containing the logo from WoW, which the retail packaging captures quite nicely. The Legendary title also contains the 'legendary' formatting from in-game items, including color and brackets.

Appearance isn't the only thing the Legendary MMO mouse has to offer, as the back of the packaging explains. A few screen captures from the software as well as a brief explanation of features occupy a call-out graphic to help consumers understand what the mouse is equipped with. Shoppers can even open the front of the box book-style to see the contained product, get a feel for its grip, and learn what inspired the mouse from a quick introductory paragraph.

Opening the box, you are greeted first by a few professional gaming teams who have had a hand in the design of the mouse. This association with actual gamers is something we see with just about ever SteelSeries product, and one of my favorite qualities of the company. Inside, the un-braided USB cord is nestled in a cardboard cove of its own, underneath which the actual mouse sits. Behind the Legendary's plastic home you will find a few reference materials as well, and of course that SteelSeries sticker badge.
