    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.

    The only question I have is regarding the hat under the thumb - if you go up and forward (as in right/forward) - is that registered as 2 simultaneous keystrokes? Or does it only recognize 1 at a time? I've been jonesing for a mouse with a viable 8 way hat under the thumb for years.

    And Im a little disappointed hes not commented on my recent upgrade to big boy hardware.

    Ive used the Logitech -MX518 for years. Its simple, fast, just a few buttons as to not overwhelm. Love it. The R.A.T. and Cyborg mouse look a bit too intimidating "13 extra additional programmable buttons with a Shift function" Thats just outside my envelope along with the cost for "a computer mouse"

    I giggled.

    Oh, and I commented. Just for you. And as far as mice go...G500. I like the click-to-freewheel mouse wheel. Spin!

    Don't buy it. It is a decepticon in hiding. When the rest get here yours will be the first house enslaved.

    Can anyone link a decent video review? Seen quite a few and most are not as comprehensive as I would like. I had a cyborg keyboard at one point when they were one of the first to offer keyed lighting.
    Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it"

    *shrug*

    Suggestion: Why not order it and try it, and return it if you don't like it? It's sneaky and kind of underhanded, but that's where refurbs come from! yay!

    I bought the stupid mouse and I can let everyone know how it feels. It'll be here on Tuesday.

    You people owe me...
