For game genres that made computer gaming as popular as it is today, such as FPS (first person shooter), RTS (real-time strategy), and RPG (Role Playing Game), there is simply nothing that beats the accuracy and precision of a mouse. The reason for the popularity of the keyboard; however, is simply because it is conveniently available with every computer.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/dynamic_gaming/Mystify_Claw/c01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/dynamic_gaming/Mystify_Claw/c01th.jpg" width="250" height="202" border="0" alt="Dynamic Gaming Duo: Raptor-Gaming M2 Gaming Mouse and MyStify Claw Game Controller" title="Dynamic Gaming Duo: Raptor-Gaming M2 Gaming Mouse and MyStify Claw Game Controller"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>In this review, I will take a look at two devices that attempt to raise your gaming experience to the next level: the Raptor-Gaming M2 Gaming Mouse and MyStify Claw Game Controller. The M2 mouse's main appeal is an astonishing 2400 DPI optical sensor while the MyStify Claw offers a substantially more ergonomic alternative to the keyboard. Does either device deserve a spot under your gaming palms? Read on and find out.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/dynamic_gaming/01.jpg"></a><a href="atruereview/dynamic_gaming/Raptor_Gaming%20M2/m01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/dynamic_gaming/Raptor_Gaming%20M2/m01th.jpg" width="250" height="135" border="0" alt="Dynamic Gaming Duo: Raptor-Gaming M2 Gaming Mouse and MyStify Claw Game Controller" title="Dynamic Gaming Duo: Raptor-Gaming M2 Gaming Mouse and MyStify Claw Game Controller"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Raptor-Gaming M2 Gaming Mouse</strong> <strong>Package</strong>:</p> <p>The Raptor-Gaming M2 Gaming Mouse comes packaged in a shrink wrapped retail tin container.
