I've had a brand new R.A.T. 7 sitting in my closet for almost a year now. I used it for 2 days and I just could not get used to it. While I wanted to have it work for me (because it looks so damn cool), I found that I kept tipping the mouse backwards and bringing the front of it off the mouse surface just a few centimeters; and because the front of it came up that would keep screwing up the mouse pointer on the screen. Second, the thumb wheel (something else I found awesome in theory) was difficult for me to hit without moving my thumb around the thumb buttons. I realize that probably sounds weird but, I wanted to be able to hit that thumb wheel by just moving my thumb straight up/down. Third, not all the buttons were able to be re-assigned/programmed. The DPI button(s) right next to the mouse wheel were not able to be changed from their default which I found very lame. However, the mouse software could have gotten better/more flexible since the last time I used it or maybe there has been a new firmware update that enables the ability to change that button (can't remember if it was just one button or two that were assigned to DPI).
Obviously it's been almost a year since I had used it and because I'm old my memory might be failing me but, those are the 3 major pet peeves I remember having with the mouse.
