The Cyborg R.A.T 7 is packaged in a white and dark-grey box. Taking a cue from the mouse contained inside, the box has three triangular angles on the top, side, and back changing the traditional rectangular box into something visually pleasing. The front cover flap is adorned with an image of the R.A.T 7, some accolades, and a statement about the mouse’s DPI. Wrapping from the front cover, across the side, and concluding on the back is an image of a cybernetic rat furthering the “cyborg” series theme. On the back of the package is a top and bottom images of the mouse.  Numbers have been placed on some of the mouse’s features that lead you to a corresponding description.

Opening the front flap of the container you can see the Cyborg R.A.T 7 through a cutout window. Another image of the R.A.T is displayed on the inside flap. This shows a variety of the mouse’s accessories, and the accessories’ container. After removing the mouse you find three square booklets: an installation guide, a catalog of other mice in the Cyborg R.A.T series, and a technical support/warranty document. Digging further into Mad Catz’ bottomless box you find a silver metal box marked with a black Cyborg image. Inside the tin are a 30gram weight container, two palm rest, and two pinky options for the right side of the mouse. 

The packaging for the Cyborg R.A.T 7 is unique all on its own, the product aside. With its unusual shape, futuristic imagery, and extensive feature explanation it seems Mad Catz didn’t want even their box to be ordinary. I was surprised that a driver disc was not included; although, downloading updated drivers from the products support page is always recommended. I could see an excited consumer possibly throwing away the box without realizing the silver accessory tin is still buried deep inside
