First impression is that it's the same thing as a R.A.T. 7 except it has more buttons. One complaint
still stands as before and that is that I would like to see all the buttons on this mouse as programmable.
The DPI and Profile buttons are still not programmable and neither are the two new Action-Lock buttons
or the new "Shift" button.

If you own(ed) the original R.A.T. 7 you might've thought that the mouse wheel was a little flimsy. Well,
that's been upgraded in this new M.M.O. 7 version and it feels more durable. What has been downgraded
is the ability to adjust the thumb rest left and right (you can still adjust it forward and back, though). I'll
assume the choice to remove that option was because of the addition of 3 new buttons and the 5D
button to the thumb rest area.

I'm going to give this version much more of a chance than I did the original R.A.T. 7. Expect to hear more
in about a week or so.

The 5D button looks to only recognize one direction at a time.
