Summary
I originally purchased this mouse because I was intrigued by the ability to customize it in shape, weight, length, height and the type of material that covers certain parts of the mouse (palm and pinky areas). In this aspect the R.A.T. 7 is amazing. I think that most people could find a configuration for the R.A.T. 7 that fits their preferences.
However, this is probably the only thing that the R.A.T. 7 does particularly well. The software is serviceable, but lacks some features like application profiles. However this wouldn't be enough to make me give up on this mouse. What turned me away from this mouse is the sensor. It suffers from z-axis issues, as well as being becoming unresponsive at the slightly spec of dust or debris going near it. Sometimes it's so bad that you lose all control over the cursor, requiring you to blow into the it (or use compressed air) in the hope of removing it. For me this completely overshadows any pro that the R.A.T. 7 has, and as a result I cannot recommend it. It seems to me that Mad Catz/Saitek tunneled on making the R.A.T. 7's fully customizable and forgot that it had to be operational as well.

Summary
I was in the market for a new mouse. I was currently using a Razer Deathadder gaming mouse, and I always wanted to try the MadCatz Cyborg R.A.T. 7 mouse but the price was always a little high for me to spend on a gaming mouse. I ened up finding it onsale on NCIX's Black Friday sale for $59.99. I am very happy with this new mouse, it is customizable to fit any size hand or gaming mouse preference.

Pros
Nice left/right click feel
|
Cons
Side buttons spaced too far
Shape feels too flat
|
Summary
It's an ok mouse.
I decided to give it away to someone though. After using mice
like the G5 and Deathadder I just can't get used to the weird shape. It feels flat on the top and the side buttons are spaced too far apart. The snipe button is so far forward that you have to stretch your thumb out to reach it. The back button is too far back.
The adjustments help a bit but not enough to make it feel comfortable to use.

Pros
Very customizable
|
Cons
Sensor gets dirty easily. Poor construction.
|
Summary
I would like to warn people to stay away. Throughout the 10 months I had this mouse I had to clean the sensor every few days or it would stop tracking. Then it started double and triple clicking. I submitted a support ticket to MadCatz and besides an automated reply, I have not heard a thing from them in a week. I've looked every day to try and contact their "Live Support" and it has always been offline.

Pros
Excellent customization, Ergonomic, Responsive, Easy to set up, Looks Amazing
|
Cons
Sore hand for the first while till tuned,
|
Summary
Excellent mouse, fits nicely to hand once adjusted, Looks friggin sweet! What can I say, I'm a sucker for these types of designs, it handles nicely. The wing type pinkie grip is nice and adds to stability. Only complaint is that it made my hand sore till after the adjustments were made but thats a temporary issue, one thats overcome with awesomeness.

Pros
Highly customizable, you can make it extremely ergonomic if you play with the adjustments long enough.
|
Cons
Takes awhile to fine tune everything, may feel awkward to hold at first. The palm rest wobbles ever so slightly, but not enough to notice during normal usage.
|
Summary
Got this during a sale, paid only $60 for it. The unique design of it takes getting used to, but once you fine tune the adjustments on all the parts, it fits your hand like a glove. Excellent tracking so far and the braided cable feels indestructible.

Pros
Highly adjustable
very ergonomic
looks great
|
Cons
Software can use some work
|
Summary
Its a very nice customizable mouse. You get to change your thumb rest pinky rest and even palm rest. Along with DPI changing and weights this is for sure worth the $75 I paid for. However I wish the software that is used to change the profiles for this mouse is better. Like add in functions for each key, instead of only keyboard shortcuts. Overall good mouse.

Pros
-Have many options to fit your hand
-Feels really responsive
-Many buttons and features
-For the most part, good quality construction
|
Cons
-Not very curved to fit your hand as other mouses
|
Summary
This is an awesome gaming mouse that has many interchangeable features to fit your hand. However, I used to use a logitech G7 mouse and I was very used to how curved the mouse is. Changing to this mouse, there was a noticeable difference as there is less inner support (curve) for the palm of your hand. But overall, it's a great mouse and I recommend it.
