By flipping the guide around, we will learn that Mountain does also sell different accessories and apparel on mountainshop.com:
The spare mouse feet do better integrate with the white version of the mouse in terms of color:
Makalu 67 does look stunning in white, the top DPI button, the scroll wheel and lateral black buttons offering a bit of contrast; the mouse comes with a comfortable grip, while the patented ribcage design does come with a water-repellent PCB coating; again, we do appreciate the textured plastic and the lack of rubberized paint!
The left/right buttons are the most used as on every mouse, so Mountain has equipped it with durable Omron switches, which have a lifespan of 50M actuations; here we will also note the RGB illumination segments which are no longer shown as distinctive LED spots for a more fluent experience. Between the scroll wheel and the DPI selector button we do have the LED DPI indicators, which are easier to spot now due to the color of the chassis:
On the left side of the Makalu 67, we will note that only a small portion of the panel does feature perforations, while the frontal area does not, in order to enhance the overall durability. Two additional programmable buttons can be spotted here, which can be easily accessed; these also come with a grippy texture and are all-black. A subtle Mountain logo is also present near the frontal area:
The right side does sport a similar design, but only here we will note no additional programmable buttons, specific with models designed for right-handed people; a closer inspection does reveal the Mountain logo on the right button cover:
The USB cable is angled to about 5 degrees in order to improve overall gliding:
On the bottom area of the chassis we will observe the PixArt PAW3370 sensor lens, two large PTFE mouse feet in the same color with the mouse, but also the same patented ribcage design for even more weight reduction. An indent is available in both positions in order to allow easy removal of the old feet:
The USB cable is held together by a rubber tie, which is also Mountain branded; as we have mentioned before, the cable is very flexible, as we have seen with the shoelace-like cable from Dream Machines and is branded as “Mountain Lifeline”. This particular feature coupled with the low weight of the Makalu 67 of just about 67g (not a coincidence in the naming), makes you think that you are using a wireless mouse and not a wired one! The total cable length is 1.8m:
The USB connector comes with the Mountain logo but also gold plating for optimal contact:
