Overall, the SilverStone Raven Gaming Mouse is a powerful mouse. It did suffer in design and construction, however, the one major flaw is also one of its main selling points. The 3D flip wheel could have been placed better and could have been smaller, ...

Poor button placement, Not conventionally ergonomic, Highpriced premium product, OLED Display is completely covered during use
I like what SilverStone has done with the retail packaging for the Raven. I am already a fan of crows, and ravens are birds of the same family, so it adds a little something for me that there are accents on the package. Additionally, theres plenty o...
Abstract: If there werent enough options out there already for gaming mice, more and more companies are venturing into this market, including some you may have never thought would jump into input devices. Heck, even OCZ now has gaming mice. However, this marke...

SilverStone packed a lot of innovation into the Raven Gaming Mouse and it all started by looking at how a simple gaming device could be enhanced to meet the particular needs of the average user and avid gamer. Features such as gaming profiles that de...
Abstract: Video Review: The SilverStone Raven Gaming Mouse is fairly large so it might not fit smaller hands and it's. It has bold styling and high-strength plastic with carbon fiber surface. There are 11 buttons, including scroll wheels. On the top here's the left click, middle click, right click, middle click, scroll wheel, left scroll, right and left scroll. Also at the top in a small 128 x 32 OLED which shows an animated raven logo and the the DPI settings. While I like this mouse I just can't get used to the flip 3D wheel and DPI switch because I keep hitting it when I move the mouse around. It's something you really need to get used to. Watch the video to find out more.
Nice design carbon fibre surfacing, blue light, silver buttons, OLED screen to display settings, Five programmable gaming profiles, Independent X and Y settings up to 3200dpi, 11 buttons, 7 customizable, Simple installation
Thumb button is a little oversized and hard to scroll, Easy to mistake click with so many buttons, Takes some practice to use optimally, Not wireless
Just from looking at the RAVEN, it is obvious Silverstone put a ton of effort into the design. Carbon fibre and durable plastic give the mouse the weight to scream high quality. Meanwhile, perfect balancing allows you to move this thing as fast as your...
Won’t win awards for ergonomics, but decent nonetheless....

Abstract: Silverstone isn’t exactly a name connected with gaming peripherals, but the company is looking to change that with its new gaming mouse dubbed the Raven.First things first, the design of the mouse tells us two things; that the engineers at Silverstone...
Looks very nice with its carbon fibre and OLED display, Finetune the DPI in 100DPI increments, Set up to 5 different profiles, Smooth action, Easy to set up using the supplied software.
A little larger than average, may cause a problem for users with smaller hands, I seriously doubt lefthanded users would get on with it.
To be brutally honest I couldn’t quite get on with the SilverStone Raven, mainly because of its physical size and the fact I constantly had to shift my hand around on top of it whilst gaming. I put this down to the fact my hands are, I think, quite...
Abstract: The Raven is an innovative design with a lot of features and comprehensive control over its dpi settings. However, the bulk of the second scroll wheel causes issues when gaming, and most of the sensitivity options are gimmicky. The Logitech G9 is a muc...
