Cyborg R.A.T. 9 review

Looking like something from a Terminator film with its exposed wiring and metal screws, the R.A.T. 9 is a wireless version of the Cyborg R.A.T. 7. It uses the same 5600 DPI tracking laser and is just as customisable, with the added bonus of not needing...

Expensive but excellent wireless gaming mouse

Exclusive: Mad Catz Cyborg Rat 9 review

In a world full of the shapely blobs we call computer mice, the Cyborg Rat stands out. It's skeletal, metallic, and almost completely asymmetrical. Though most mice are one-size-fit-few, the Rat lets you transform the hardware itself to fit the shape...

Low-latency wireless connectivity ; Great battery life with hot-swappable packs ; It's a transforming mouse

No easy way to grab battery packs ; Slight fit and finish issues ; Not quite one-size-fits-all

Cyborg R.A.T 9 Mouse Review

Gaming mice designs often make people's jaws drop, but there's no mouse, which does that job better than the Cyborg R.A.T. 9 ...

The Cyborg R.A.T.9 is one of the most unique and most sophisticated mice around. It’s also the costliest at a price of Rs. 9,999 - and with good reason. It’s got tons of features - replaceable batteries, plenty of buttons, a solid, almost...

Cyborg R.A.T 9 Gaming Mouse Review

Thee best mouse that money can buy.

completely customizable physically, superb performance, weights system, Precision Aim Mode helps, two battery cartridges for 24/7 wireless gaming, additional scroll wheel is awesome

side buttons aren’t really accessible, Precision Mode button is hard to press and hold, adjusted palm rest rattles a bit

The R.A.T 9’s wireless station is another great design choice. No, not for its actual form and factor, though it does look a bit cute. The wireless station can dock your weights and charge the device’s battery cartridges. Yes, cartridges. There are two...

Saitek Cyborg V.7 Keyboard Review

There is nothing more enjoyable than the feeling of smooth metal along one's fingertips to keep focused. We build computers with care, picking each part using careful attention after long thought and consideration. Yet many of us still can't bring...

Useful and easy to press macro keys ; Plethora of lighting effects and combinations ; Specific metal plated keys ; Responsive ; Many options to adjust height of keyboard and palmrest ; Pass through full powered USB and audio ; Looks great on any desk

Lack of blue lighting, if that's your thing ; Lighting can be a bit distracting depending on the angle you look at it ; Certain aspects of programming it could be clearer ; Volume adjustment not very precise

Searching for a new keyboard, I look for style as well as quick performance. The Saitek Cyborg keyboard delivers strongly on both. In all of my time with it, I noticed quick reaction and no sign of lag. It felt amazingly comfortable under my fingers...
