Gigabyte Ghost GM-M8000 Gaming Mouse Review

Packaging and Accessories

This box screams “gamer” at the top of its lungs and is not ashamed to be marketed to this highly demanding niche. While it may be bold and exuberant, we don’t think it crosses the line into garish.

Helping to temper its boyish exuberance is the wealth of information Gigabyte has included; there is so much data and details that they needed to make the back of the box fold out to hold it all.


The internal protection scheme is a bit of an oxymoron as the clear plastic shell for the mouse is clearly on the outside of the box due to the extra large cutout. We are usually not fond lovers of this setup but it does give you a clear picture of the mouse and also allows you to “palm” it without ever taking it from its protective case.


When it comes to the list of accessories words like overflowing, impressive and the like are perfect descriptions for this goodie bag. All in all, you get a CD with software and drivers, an owners manual / pamphlet and a set of weights for customization. These weights consist of three 6 gram weights and a monster 20 gram big’un allowing for combinations ranging from 0 (no weights added) all the way up to 38grams of added weight. We personally like our gaming mice to be light for twitch-style games, but for precision detail work you can’t beat slow and heavy; and this mouse appears to give you the best of all possible worlds.
