My new favorite mouse . . . from MadCatz?
Watch Video Here:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R2MFX4IBW71ATT Here is a quick video
review of the Cyborg R.A.T. 7 gaming mouse.
Innovative, configurable and smooooove...
If I don't cover one of the
coolest features of this mouse first, I'll forget:
- The thumb shelf
changes the game. I had no idea how much drag my thumb would provide and
how it interfered with the smooth control of my games. The thumb shelf
on the R.A.T. 7 is the perfect size to hold my fat thumb and keep it out
of the way.
Continuing on - this will be the first mouse to
replace my almost-perfect Logitech from 1999. The Logitech was heavy,
had a nice, tactile wheel, moved very smoothly and had a responsive,
easy-to-clean mouseball. Yeah, no optics for me.
The R.A.T. 7
starts light and is adjustable up to HEAVY. The solid chunk of stamped
aluminum that acts as the frame peeks out from all the adjustable nooks
and crannies and holds all the assemblies tightly. The feet glide
smoother than any other mouse I've used. The adjustable palm rest is
perfect, even if you like a shorter grip. The pinkie shelf was a nice
addition, too, until I found that it interfered with play. No problem - I
can use the stock pinkie assembly, but I took the whole thing off for
an even better configuration taht fits my grip.
The DPI is
suffficient for noticeably smoother control, and the on-the-fly DPI
adjustment button at the thumb is an innovation I never thought I'd use.
Until I started rockin' fools with it in MW2.
The best way to
think about this mouse is this way: what else do you have for your PC
that will last ten years? And grow or shrink to fit your gaming style
over that whole decade? Not even your monitor is this adjustable...
Oh,
and there's the fabric-wrapped cord and the removable adjustment tool
and the horizontal scroll wheel and the tin that comes with the extra
thumb and pinkie plates and the container for the weights and the
configuration software and... phew!
Good
Idea but Needs Work to be Better
I have been around when it
comes to using gaming mice. I have used the Logitech G5, G9, MX518, and
currently using the G9x as well as 3-4 RAZER mice. When it comes to this
I was excited to finally try something out of the stereotypical picks
like Logitech of RAZER but that excited soon feel short. After getting
the mouse I was amazed at all the customization feature that mouse has
to offer, you can change pinky rists, palm rests, distance and width of
the thumb rest, distance away of the mouse, change the weight easily.
All of these are really great features to have in mouse but the overall
feel of the mouse just wasn't very comfortable. I used it for about a
month trying to get use to it, switching parts and adjusting but I found
myself going back to my G9x. I found that the laser was not as
responsive as my G9x and found my self in games having some input lag or
having a second or 2 where my mouse didn't respond at all. Also, after
about an hour of playing my hand would cramp up and I would have to stop
of a couple minutes and go back at it.
I was really looking
forward to this mouse, but at this price I think you are better off
going for either at Logitech or RAZER mouse.
