Overall, the R.A.T. 9 performed on par with any other gaming mouse on the market. The selling point though is not the great performance, but rather the immense physical customization of the mouse. I truly believe that the R.A.T. 9 can be made to be c...
Abstract: The Cyborg R.A.T. 9 Gaming Mouse is one of the most customizable mice around -- this is the mouse for gamers who are really, really serious about their pursuits. It offers a...
Great, modular design. Tons of customization options. Good wireless performance.
Expensive. Battery can be awkward to remove. Plastic mounting arm under thumb rest broke.
The Cyborg R.A.T. 9 Gaming Mouse is one of the most customizable wireless gaming mice available, but it's also one of the most expensive. Buy it now...
The Mad Catz Cyborg R.A.T. 9 is the most customizable gaming mouse available. Its two battery packs and included recharging station mean no downtime. Its unique looks make a statement, it boasts strong build quality, and it features useful button function
This mouse is expensive at $149. The lateral scroll wheel is positioned awkwardly

Abstract: When I reviewed the RAT 7, I was impressed. It’s a great mouse, but I always knew that Mad Catz was holding back. The company did so, of course, to make the RAT 9. But the RAT 7 was so good! What else could be done to make an already excellent gaming m...

It’s certainly an original piece of work, and for a power user, it could be amazing, as long as you don’t mind switching out the battery every day. And it certainly looks cool, or if not cool, then at least interesting. But I don’t think it’s going to...
You can adjust and configure the mouse body for a perfect fit, Excellent, heavyduty construction with lots of metal, Onthefly selection of resolutions and modes, Instant responsiveness equivalent to the best wired mice, Easily swappable batteries; extra battery charges in the receiver, Precision Aim button!,
Expensive mouse solution, Profile Editor software somewhat limited; must manually load game profiles, Profile data stored in the driver, not the mouse, No "free scrolling" option on the scroll wheel, Minimal documentation.
I'm interested in pointing devices, and have rather a lot of them, including a collection of wired and wireless mice, Bluetooth trackpads, and several standard and thumb-operated trackballs. I loved the feel and features of my R.A.T. 7, but its incons...

Low-latency wireless connectivityGreat battery life with hot-swappable packsIt's a transforming mouse
No easy way to grab battery packsSlight fit and finish issuesNot quite one-size-fits-all
Despite its customizable hardware, the Rat 9 won't fit everyone. It wouldn't fit our hand perfectly, though it was fairly comfortable. It won't fit pro gamers who scoff at wireless-only mice for fear of interference at LAN events, even when confronted wit...
