Customer Reviews
My biggest grievance was in fact the price, and whilst I have had expensive mice before, I refuse to pay over about £50 for a mouse. After a bit of searching however on Amazon I did manage to find a second hand one for within this budget (just).
The product as a whole however has been outstanding. The response is excellent, and as expected with a high-end gaming mouse it has everything other mice have.
If anything the only criticism is if you are into playing RPG's and want tons of programmable buttons, it doesn't deliver. Whilst it has a few, only two are realistically usable, and the thumb scroll I have found is a pain to program anything into.
However, ultimately I bought this mouse for the comfort factor, and it has without a doubt delivered. The only issue here is that the moveable thumb grip I have found to slip in occasionally when I'm a bit too enthused about a game. This is however being really picky, as with the 'pinky' rest, and the rest of the adjustments I have found it to be the most comfortable mouse I have ever used.
The reaction times are outstanding, it did in fact take me a few days to actually get used to the increased sensitivity from the mouse, and on the whole is well worth getting!
I'm still not sure about the price tag however, whilst it is without a doubt at the top of the gaming mouse range, a friend has a Razer Mamba, and having tried out this mouse for a bit wants to get a R.A.T. 7. I'm not sure I would pay the £80-90 price tag.... Read more ›
Something to take into account about this mouse is that it takes quite a few matches to get used to. The whole shape was very alien to me, once an owner of a cheap wireless Trust mouse, but once my hand (ironically) "adjusted" to the mouse everything was smooth, and playing with it was like gliding on clouds. The Precision Aim feature works perfectly, I keep mine at 11% sensitivity. The metal thumbscroll is a great addition, perhaps a little impractical for switching weapons in a fast-paced FPS but very good at things like increasing/decreasing brush size and grid size in image editing programs, and just scrolling web pages horizontally.
My advice to those who purchase the R.A.T. 7: 1) Don't quit, once you get used to it it's a breeze - and 2) don't go crazy with the adjustable features, the default is pretty good already; just fine-tune it.
Have had this lovely but rather expensive mouse for just under 3 months and now the laser has stopped tracking. All buttons remain functional but it's as if the laser just stops working entirely. After several hours of cleaning, checking and re-installing drivers and trying other hardware I'm now back to my standard old mouse which lacks in features, but makes up it for with reliability!
Emailed Madcatz UK customer service 3 days ago but haven't heard anything back and given their reputation I won't be holding my breath. It's all very well putting a 2-year warranty on something but if you then don't respond to the customer then that kinda makes it worthless.
All in all very disappointing because I really loved the features of the RAT-7 for my design work as well as my gaming. I'll be giving anything by Madcatz a very wide berth in future and I can only suggest that you do the same.
*The reviews I'm talking about are on Amazon.com rather than .co.uk but my point still stands.
The G500 was nearly flawless, my ONLY issue with it was its ugly color. Read more
