So, my R.A.T. 7 mouse just arrived this morning from the post.
I must say, I'm extremely impressed with the quality of it. for $110 it better be quality, but Saitek went above and beyond with it.
Despite only having a few macro's (which doesn't matter because I have enough keys with my merc stealth keyboard), it has COMPLETE customization. It only took me about 5-10 mins to tweak it the exact way I wanted it.
Dpi is super easy to adjust. Using the software you can set four custom dpi levels to switch between on the fly, as well as pressing the scroll wheel down, and adjusting an exact dpi by wheeling up or down at the same time (also on the fly) at a range of 1-5600 true dpi.
Comes with a tin full of five 6g weights, and 4 other interchangeable parts such as pinky&ringfinger rest (which I'm definitely using the hell out of right now
), a normal left side panel, rubber palm rest, etc.
On the thumb rest (that you can also slide up/down or adjust the tilt) there are two macro's (that I'll probably only use for switching weapons), and the sniper button. It's a silly little red button than when pressed, dips the dpi to any preset level that you want. This comes in handy for making quick, precise shots. A bit over more to the right, there is a horizontal scroll wheel, and above that.. a "mode" button I havn't bothered to configure yet.
It has a braided cord, with gold plated usb.
Also available is the lest costly R.A.T. 5 with lower dpi, and the overpriced wireless R.A.T. 9 with the same dpi as the R.A.T. 7, but less response time because it is wireless. So the R.A.T. 7 is really the best.
For the price and performance, this is the best mouse I've ever used, and I definitely recommend it.
