Installation, Testing and Comparison:

The first thing I did for my installation was to add the weight to it, I like a heavy mouse so I used the heaviest one in the pack of course. To do this you'll need to slide the back of the M3 off to gain access to the weight compartment.

The weight sits in a specially designed compartment, and Raptor-gaming included two small screws as well to secure the weight if need be using the center pole. The cover is very easy to get off, and I thought it was actually almost to easy, I pictured to falling off while I was using it, but I've been using the M3 for about two weeks now and have had no problems at all, it seems the weight and grip of your hand naturally helps to hold the cover in place.

For the real installation, Windows will recognize and install the M3 with no problems and you can use it that way, but to fully configure and utilize the M3 you'll want to install the Raptor-Adjust software. The Raptor-Adjust software will allow full control over the M3, you can change many settings, create macros, and do quite a few other things as well.

The first page is where you can change the functions of the buttons, there are many choices to change them to all done with a drop down box. There is also a box to turn on a 'keep shooting option' that obviously allows for auto-fire in games, you can turn the on-screen DPI display on of off, and to make sure the scroll wheel is compatible with everything.

The next two pages deal with sensitivity, here you can fine tune the double click button, and also fine tune you dpi settings to exactly where you want them to be and change the scroll rate of the M3 wheel.

The next two pages, 'Application' and Macros' are kind of obvious, they are for setting the application to be opened and for creating macros, the macros can be created using the keyboard or the mouse or a combination of both!
