With innumerable titles paving their way into the gaming terrain this season, peripheral manufacturers have been tossing up a delicious platter for players. To whip up an amazing time for PC gamers, Mad Catz has now shipped out a new wireless Cyborg professional gaming mouse dubbed R.A.T.9.
Expanding the portfolio of products under the Cyborg brand umbrella, this latest addition has been infused with 2.4GHz wireless technology. This ensures near zero lag or dropout as it is said to proffer an estimated latency of less than one millisecond. Wrapping up superior features in a comfortable design, the offering renders the interchangeable palm rest, adjustable pinkie grips and length which were also offered in an earlier iteration namely R.A.T.7.
“Our range of Cyborg branded professional gaming mice demonstrates the appetite gamers have for an adjustable, professional quality gaming mouse. The R.A.T.9 introduces a wireless alternative to the range, which we believe will prove highly appealing to a great many gamers,” remarked Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz.
The innovation runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, facilitating an incessant gaming session for about nine hours. Enclosing around 42 grams of removable weights, the product has been packed with a spruce desktop charging unit. It is also being shipped with two ‘hot swappable’ battery packs for enabling gamers to charge the mouse without tethering it.
The customizable options incorporated in the mouse allow gamers to set the x and y-axis dpi, similar to those in the Cyborg R.A.T.7 gaming mouse. Featuring a ‘twin eye’ 5600dpi gaming grade laser sensor, the peripheral can store up to four individual settings. Players can smoothly switch from a setting to another with the help of an integrated toggle switch.
Attuned to operate with Windows 7, Vista and XP, the device has been instilled with a Precision Aim mode which facilitates players for emerging victoriously even through intense combat situations. Allowing them to hold down a button for decelerating cursor movement, the mouse comes with five programmable buttons and three position mode switch. This stretches out approximately 15 user definable commands at any point while the included Cyborg ST software makes it possible to remap programmable buttons and customize macros.
Gamers can now pick the Cyborg R.A.T.9 Gaming Mouse for the price of 149.99 USD (approx. Rs. 6,638).
