Package Content & Design
There are Alcatroz X-Craft Pro Trek 1000 and X-Craft Pro limited edition gaming mousepad in the package. That’s all. No CD driver here as personally I don’t use it too. You can download mouse driver from Alcatroz Website directly.

Build quality is decent for a lightweight mouse. Can be used with both hands but left-handed can’t access thumb buttons. Suitable for fingertip and palm grips. By the way, it has rubberized finishing that enhances the grip and comfort for long hours of usage. Every buttons and scroll wheel can be accessed easily. There are LED lights all over the mouse. Great for those who love lighting effect and play games in low light environment. There are 4 glide pads at the bottom. And the cable is braided with anti-interference magnet ring while USB plug is gold plated. Do check out all the photos for details as usual.

In addition, there are 5 profiles – Cfg 1 to 3, media and game.
