Hi All,

Looking at a decent but not crazy expensive mouse and a decent pad

currently looking at something like a rat 5 which is in the region of say R550-650

any thoughts?

Also ideas on a decent game pad, price range and where to get it?

Thanks :)
 
Got a rat 7, but if I had done a little bit more research before I purchased, I would have just got the Rat 5. Same thing just doesn't have the spare parts of the Rat 7.

i initially was thinking just to go for the rat 3 but i think the rat 5 is worth the difference, the rat 7 and 9 look awesome but dont want to spend a fortune on a mouse
 
using a logitech g9x + razer scarab combo. i like it. glides like ice. no sensor/software issues... 6 month running.
no experience with the rat so can't really comment on it - 'cept i'll be a bit cautious re durability coz of the moveable parts?
also refer to: previous discussion
 
sweet it has arrived, Rat 5 with cyborg gaming pad

now to wait till after work and gym to test it out :(
 
Do you guys think its worth the 200 bucks to get the R.A.T 9 rather than the R.A.T 7. How responsive is the wireless mouse compared to the wired
 
update, i just wish they had sent a smaller pad, this one is huge which does become a slight issue, otherwise the mouse is great
 
I have a large zalman "rollup" mouse pad that works wonders. but then again I play RPGs and action games, so a piece of paper would probably work :)

Anyone?

well apparently the advice i was given was that it wasnt worth upgrading from the 5 - 7 so i dont really know then if the 9 would be that much different, i doubt you will use it wireless or use the higher dpi setting?

9 is heavy and IMO wireless anything is completely pointless.

Unless the back of your PC already looks like a birds nest. Then it comes in handy...

I have Kaves and a keyboard with sound and USB so the amount of wires going into the back of my PC is INSANE!

But how responsive is it? Had a wireless mouse previously , but this was about 6 years ago, and was not that responsive, did the tech got better?

aaah I have G35's... one wire. Bottom line is the RAT7 without any weights is already pretty heavy.

probably as it will have the extra weight of the battery, like doobyscoo said the 7 is heavy and i have taken all the weights out, although I must say I am used to the weight now so it is no longer a problem.
