Exclusive: Mad Catz Cyborg Rat 9 review

 

In a world full of the shapely blobs we call computer mice, the Cyborg Rat stands out. It's skeletal, metallic, and almost completely asymmetrical. Though most mice are one-size-fit-few, the Rat lets you transform the hardware itself to fit the shape...

Low-latency wireless connectivity ; Great battery life with hot-swappable packs ; It's a transforming mouse

No easy way to grab battery packs ; Slight fit and finish issues ; Not quite one-size-fits-all

Cyborg R.A.T. 9 Gaming Mouse

 

The Cyborg R.A.T. 9 Gaming Mouse is one of the most customizable wireless gaming mice available, but it's also one of the most expensive.

Great, modular design. Tons of customization options. Good wireless performance

Expensive. Battery can be awkward to remove. Plastic mounting arm under thumb rest broke

Cyborg R.A.T 9 Gaming Mouse Review

 

Thee best mouse that money can buy.

completely customizable physically, superb performance, weights system, Precision Aim Mode helps, two battery cartridges for 24/7 wireless gaming, additional scroll wheel is awesome

side buttons aren’t really accessible, Precision Mode button is hard to press and hold, adjusted palm rest rattles a bit

The R.A.T 9’s wireless station is another great design choice. No, not for its actual form and factor, though it does look a bit cute. The wireless station can dock your weights and charge the device’s battery cartridges. Yes, cartridges. There are two...

Saitek Cyborg V.7 Keyboard Review

 

There is nothing more enjoyable than the feeling of smooth metal along one's fingertips to keep focused. We build computers with care, picking each part using careful attention after long thought and consideration. Yet many of us still can't bring...

Useful and easy to press macro keys ; Plethora of lighting effects and combinations ; Specific metal plated keys ; Responsive ; Many options to adjust height of keyboard and palmrest ; Pass through full powered USB and audio ; Looks great on any desk

Lack of blue lighting, if that's your thing ; Lighting can be a bit distracting depending on the angle you look at it ; Certain aspects of programming it could be clearer ; Volume adjustment not very precise

Searching for a new keyboard, I look for style as well as quick performance. The Saitek Cyborg keyboard delivers strongly on both. In all of my time with it, I noticed quick reaction and no sign of lag. It felt amazingly comfortable under my fingers...

Cyborg R.A.T 9 Mouse Review

 

Gaming mice designs often make people's jaws drop, but there's no mouse, which does that job better than the Cyborg R.A.T. 9 ...

The Cyborg R.A.T.9 is one of the most unique and most sophisticated mice around. It’s also the costliest at a price of Rs. 9,999 - and with good reason. It’s got tons of features - replaceable batteries, plenty of buttons, a solid, almost...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Not as good as it looks...

 

This is the second R.A.T. 9 mouse that I had the displeasure of using over the last month and a half. The first one was sent back for replacement as the thumb wheel didn't function. Both mice displayed tracking issues and the other issues that I...

High DPI ; Plenty of buttons and a easy to use utility to change the function of each ; Thumb scroll wheel is handy ; Two batteries so you never have to stop playing ; Precision aim button is an interesting idea

High DPI... in theory. Sure, it has up to 5600 DPI, but good luck trying to get it to actually track that well. Sometimes when you click, the cursor will move, even if you don't move the mouse. If you DO use this mouse, be sure to set all DPI settings...

Great mouse...while it works

 

I assume I just received a faulty model, it happens, and will be contacting their customer support tomorrow for RMA under warranty. I hope I'll receive the same level of customer service I've come to expect from newegg vendors.

Great Feel, I like the multiple scroll wheels and the on the fly sensitivity changes ; Easy to set up multiple profiles and easy to swap between them

About 4 months after I purchased the product the forward thumb button (not the precision aim button) would not function outside of pressing straight down on it. A very awkward position if you're using the thumb rest

Consumer review (newegg.com)

I want my G7 back.

 

I owned 2 G7's in a row and it is my favorite mouse ever, although they did fall victim to the G7 curse of not registering a click all the time after 3 and 2 years of use respectively. When the RAT 9 was announced I was so happy, a new wireless,...

Fits all my requirements for a mouse

Doesn't fit my requirements as well as the G7, which came out about 6 years ago

RAT9 VS G700

 

Bought this mouse and the logitech G700 at the same time. G700 is $60-$70 cheaper, has more programmable buttons, has software that will allow you to set profiles that are program specific, endless scroll endless scroll endless scroll, oh and did I...

Coolest mouse that will get you noticed. Solid Construction, easy software

For me the advantage to wireless is that it's portable, umm.... massive base station makes it not so. Battery life will surely kill your game only lasts a few hours lame!!!!! Better mice available for half the price. Height is not adjustable and it's...
