Mad Catz has begun shipping the R.A.T.9 wireless professional gaming mouse, being released under the Company’s Cyborg professional gaming brand.

The Cyborg R.A.T.9 Wireless Gaming Mouse joins the already available Cyborg R.A.T7, 5 and 3 gaming mice and boasts high performance 2.4GHz wireless technology which delivers an estimated latency of less than 1 millisecond.

Powered via a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack which provides up to 9 hours of game play, the R.A.T.9 comes complete with a desktop charging unit that not only charges the battery pack but also houses up to 42 grams of removable weights, which allows gamers to set the desired weight for individual preference. Two ‘hot swappable’ battery packs ship with the R.A.T.9 professional gaming mouse, allowing gamers to have power at the ready, without the need to tether their mouse when charging.

The Cyborg R.A.T.9 Wireless Gaming Mouse features 2.4GHz wireless technology with near zero lag or dropout. Operating via a custom lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack, the R.A.T.9 professional gaming mouse comes complete with desktop charging system and additional battery pack to ensure that gaming sessions can run for as long as the gamer.



The Cyborg R.A.T.9 Wireless Gaming Mouse has been designed with comfort in mind and features the same interchangeable palm rest, adjustable pinkie grips, and adjustable length, width and height settings as featured on the Cyborg R.A.T.7 Gaming Mouse, while a full 42g of removable weights allows for an even greater level of weight customization.

Similar to the previously released R.A.T.7, gamers can individually set the x and y-axis DPI of the ‘twin eye’ 5600DPI gaming grade laser sensor and store 4 individual DPI settings which can be instantly recalled via an integrated toggle switch.

Precision Aim mode allows gamers to hold down a button and temporarily slow down cursor movement, steadying the aim during heated battle, and 5 programmable buttons combined with a 3 position mode switch allows for a total of up to 15 user definable commands to be available to the gamer at any one time. Cyborg ST software included in pack allows gamers to remap programmable buttons and create custom macros. The R.A.T.9 is compatible with Windows 7, Vista™ and XP.

honestly its fugly….
Maybe ugly, but it looks kinda cool.
I agree with stringent, it looks kinda cool… certainly looks very unique which makes a change. Its one of those things thats built for substance than looks i think, the ability to control almost every part of the mouse to fit your individual hand is excellent. Reminds me of the saitek cyborg original that had a motorized back so it could resize to fit your hand, worked quite well tbh but the laser was always poo with mine after like 2 or 3 replacements so it was returned.

If i didnt have this sidewinder x8 i would have considered it, but theres no pricing on it so i presume its going to be £70+ more likely £100 :(.
that it the ugliest peripheral i have ever seen…

how is it cool anyway, if something is cool it has to be aluminium and have a glowing apple logo surely? :p
no thats cool in the sense the general public…. this is cool in the sense of my geekyness shining through :P
