Overview
5600 dpi
The Cyborg R.A.T.7 gaming mouse uses a new-generation "twin eye" laser sensor, which reads each axis separately for pinpoint accuracy and tracks up to 5.4 meters per second. Pro gamers who favor low sensitivity with high movement speed preferences will always experience precise tracking.
Lightweight aluminum chassis
Strong yet nimble, the solid metal frame creates a core of enhanced rigidity for the Cyborg R.A.T.7 mouse.
Custom weight system
Change the weight of the Cyborg R.A.T. 7 to match your game play. In an instant you can add or subtract one or more of five 6-gram weights to achieve the perfect weight for a perfect feel. When you're not using the weights, you can safely stored them in the supplied storage container.
Precision Aim mode
Use the Cyborg ST Programming Software to set your desired Precision Aim speed (mouse sensitivity), then hold down the Precision Aim button to slow down mouse movement to a level that works for you. Hit your target the first time every time.
Five programmable buttons
Combine your programmable buttons with two regular left and right mouse buttons and you have a total of seven buttons available to punish your competition. Assign your choice of key gaming actions to programmable buttons to create your own custom profiles.
Custom settings
Use the rocker switch to toggle among your custom DPI settings. You can also toggle among three R.A.T. modes at the touch of a button. Change sensitivity or programmable button actions in an instant and get immediate access to an amazing 15 commands.
Interchangeable grips and palm rests
A range of three pinkie grips and three palm rests let you select just the right feel for optimally comfortable gameplay.
Powerful Cyborg ST programming software
Change your dpi, set Precision Aim cursor sensitivity, create custom profiles for each game, assign commands to your programmable buttons, and more. Plus Expose, Dashboard, and Horizontal Scroll are all assigned to your forward, backward, and thumb scroll controls by default.

Great Mouse
This is a great mouse for gaming and everyday use. It will work flawless in OSX 10.6 or higher as well as in Windows mode via Boot Camp or virtualization software. I personally use the R.A.T. 9 which is a wireless version with my MBP 17" (early 2011). …

Great hardware, zero software.
As others have noted, for some reason, this mouse works great for a little while then becomes erratic leading to non-responsivene ss.
I'm convinced it's the drivers. I don't think they are good enough to give the product flawless operation on a Mac. Simple as that.
The mouse works flawlessly with other third-party drivers, just not Cyborg's own dedicated drivers.
Good hardware let down by inadequate software. …- Written by Manny L from Melbourne

Get one.
Adjustable in every which way. My hands are size giant and I was able to tweak it to my natural grip with every bottom where I wan ted it to sit. Works perfect with 10.7.3 and the software lets me save 3 custom set profiles. I did one for FPS Games, Diablo 3 and CS6. I don't know why I waited so long to try one out. It's worth every penny. …

This Device is in a Class by Itself
Bought the mouse a few weeks before Christmas. For the first two weeks the RAT 7 seemed to work very well with Mac OS X v. 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 iMac that has always performed beautifully.
At about week 3 erratic behavior began that worsened daily, then it died. Tried reinstalling software at Mad Catz website. Seemed fine at first. Then died.
Tried reprogramming. After 1 week it became erratic again, sometimes shutting down completely.
Tried plugging it into 3 diverse USB ports. Worked well for a week or two, then died.
This scenario continued after the holidays.
It's the ONLY insufferably negative experience I have had with a computing product/vendor in the approximately 20 years since I switched from PC's to Apple. …- Written by P A from Albuquerque
