Mad Catz Cyborg R.A.T series of gaming mice have made a splash on the pc peripheral market for two years now. Cyborg has released several versions of their R.A.T design, with a little redundancy. The R.A.T 3, 5, 7, 7 Albino, 7 Contagion, 7 Infection, 7 M.M.O, and the wireless R.A.T 9 all have subtle differences. The original flagship model for Mad Catz is the Cyborg R.A.T 7. The Mad Catz Cyborg R.A.T 7 was released in summer 2010, so you might be wondering why someone would review this product a full two years after its release date. The R.A.T 7 unusual design has begun to appear on other mice in its price range. The “precision aim” button, a key feature of the R.A.T 7, is now available on the Corsair M60. The extendable palm rest plus exchangeable thumb/pinky rest will be on the unreleased Razer Ourobroos. With this trend in mind, let’s take a look back at the Cyborg R.A.T 7, an innovative gaming mouse that still has much to offer the current hardware enthusiast.
