I'm interested in pointing devices, and have rather a lot of them, including a collection of wired and wireless mice, Bluetooth trackpads, and several standard and thumb-operated trackballs. I loved the feel and features of my R.A.T. 7, but its incons...

Despite its customizable hardware, the Rat 9 won't fit everyone. It wouldn't fit our hand perfectly, though it was fairly comfortable. It won't fit pro gamers who scoff at wireless-only mice for fear of interference at LAN events, even when confronted wit...
Fully customisable, Good wireless signal, Extra battery included, Charging dock works well, Feels comfortable
Looks not to everyone's taste, Expensive, Not the best gaming mouse
Overall this is a good, yet very expensive wireless mouse that adapts to your gaming style, and not the other way around....

If I had to use one word to the describe the Cyborg R.A.T 9 mouse it wouldn't be awesome, excellent or amazing; it would be Special. It's a little like owning a supercar, you know it's expensive, drinks fuel and capable of far more than you, but it's all...
Original and attractive design, quality finish, Excellent laser sensor (keeps track of movements as fast as 4 metres per second), Adjustable length, Eight programmable buttons, featurerich driver, user profiles, Two rechargeable batteries supplied
Can prove difficult to use at its maximum length setting, Adjustments need to be made with care, otherwise don't bother taking it apart!, The 1000 Hz frequency isn't continuous, it's nearer 500 Hz most of the time, Jaunty edges of adjustable sections can be uncomfortable, Very heavy: 163 g even without any of the extra weights!
The Cyborg R.A.T 9 deserves five stars for its originality, its finish, its design and its great sensor. However, you will have to put up with its rather unusual handling. It's not the most comfortable mouse out there and its very heavy design requires...

When first unboxing the R.A.T. 9 the user will most likely be a little overwhelmed by the device and the number of bundled items. It really is a case of "where do I even start" but in a good way. For the overall aesthetic of the unit we have a device ...
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 indestructib...
