The R.A.T.7 Impression and Product Review 

First Impressions.  
Awesome packaging, maybe not as obsessively nice like Razer's, but definitely a step up from Logitechs.  The box is made of hard cardboard with a magnetic flap and a foam insert for a snug fit.  Upon pickup you can instantly tell this is no budget mouse- gaming or not.  The package includes a nice case that encloses the custom pieces and weights to ensure nothing gets lost.   

Second Impression
Damn this mouse feels good!  Within the past ten years I've owned just about every iconic gaming mouse that has come out; from the very first Logitech MX500 to the more recent Razer Mamba. I must say this mouse feels distinctly more solid than the rest.  The mouse has an aluminum frame with rubber feet that glide noticably smoother than any of my previous mice.  

 



Customization.  
The biggest selling point of this mouse (besides its rediculous 6400 dpi) is the ability to customize the overall shape.  The Rat 7 includes a total of 3 palm rests that vary among heights and textures.  These palm rests also have the ability to slide up and down the aluminum frame to adjust to different hand sizes or grip styles.  The package also includes three different pinky rests. One of these rests is vastly different from any other mouse as it allows a place for your pinky to rest as opposed to be being dragged along the mouse pad.  The thumb rest can also be adjusted outwards or up and down the frame to suit wider grips.  Along the thumb rest the mouse not only has the usual forward and back buttons, but also a third button that switches to a custom DPI for as long as the button is 
held.. yup, perfect for sniping!  The mouse also comes with adjustable weights, although even with all the weights removed I found the mouse to be a bit on the heavier side.  To the left of the mouse click button resides a unique "mode button" that allows you to switch the six buttons to different presets.  On the software side, the Cyborg program lets you customize 4 DPI settings for on the fly switching.  The program also lets you set the presets for the "mode" button and even allows you to create macros.  

Overall I am extremely pleased with the Rat 7 Albino.  The mouse is in a class of its own with the aluminum chassis and solid construction.  The customization is unparalleled for a mouse and I love the seemingly rubber/velvet felt material that's wraped around the top of the mouse and the front left and right click buttons.  One thing to note is the left and right click buttons are slightly angled outwards towards the right which, although this a more 
natural position for your middle and index fingers, I found it a bit uncomfortable at first but I am adjusting to it quickly.
