7 made it difficult to lift the mouse off the mat for repositioning. Our Logitech G500 is currently kitted out with 19.7g of weights, but we found adding more weights to the R.A.T. 7 to be excellent, both in accuracy and thanks to its very handy precision aim mode. Playtesting in Serious Sam: HD and Left 4 Dead revealed the Cyborg R.A.T.

While entering delays is an utter pain due to having to select multiple key entries rather than setting insertion points the option is there, as is the ability to set a standard delay between all key strokes. We'd advise always going with the 'Advanced Command' dialog, as it offers considerably more space to see your recorded effort than the default Keypresses or Macro options. Where Keypresses differ is if you hold down the button, the programmed entry will play out up to the point where you release your mouse button, offering the ability to quickly change course should something unpredictable happen. Record keyboard presses and mouse clicks, assign them to a button, then click to play back the action. Then there are Keypresses and Macros - the latter is the macro we all know and love. Don't like any customisations? Set the button to Unprogrammed. There's also a fallback mode - if a button is set to this while the mouse is in mode two or three, it refers back to whatever the button was set to in mode one. Great for games without a crouch toggle control.

Press the button again, and it'll think you've released. If it has been set as 'latched', the computer will act as if you're continuously holding down CTRL. Say you've bound the mouse button to the CTRL key. offers so many features for instance it has a 'latched' mode, where pressing a button acts like a toggle. This is partly due to the fact that the R.A.T. The pinky rest is also swappable, offering rubberised plastic, cross-etched grip or a 'wing'-shaped design that supposedly allows your pinky to rest during long bouts of play - we found quite the opposite, the shape propping our pinky into an unnatural position. It's marvellous, although the back and forward buttons are still a stretch too far for us, and we'd prefer to swap them for the horizontal scroll wheel, which is situated between the thumb rest and the body of the mouse. When you're done, you lock them into place with the hex tool. This same thumb rest can be slid back and forth so the buttons rest perfectly where you need them to. The thumb rest on the left is anchored at the base near the palm grip, and can be pulled away from the mouse near the left- and right-click buttons to minimise the effort your thumb needs to actuate the buttons. See that silver knob at the base? Unscrew it and it becomes a hex tool, used for further adjustment of the mouse.
