The packaging immediately signals that RAK took this seriously. Everything is clean and thought-out, you open the box and you get the device, a charging cable, and a lanyard. That lanyard might seem like a small detail, but it comes included at the same price point as other EDC-style devices. In other words, this isn't a cost-cutting compromise or a cosmetic extra, it's a well-considered, user-focused design choice.

The ThinkNode M1 arrives in polished packaging that immediately signals a more consumer-focused approach than typical DIY Meshtastic hardware. Inside the box, you'll find: The build quality is genuinely impressive and represents a significant step up from the 3D-printed enclosures common in this space. Unlike most ready-to-use handhelds, the ThinkNode M1 features an injection-molded ABS plastic housing putting it in the same league as premium devices like RAKwireless's card-styled node and the T1000-E, rather than the typical 3D-printed crowd.
