As someone with exceptionally long thumbs (a thumb-war champ, many have said), I have trouble reaching the sniper button. Sadly, the usefulness is diminished due to poor placement. It’s quite the brilliant function, and spares gamers from having to switch between previously set DPi load-outs. What this special button does is cut the sensitivity of the mouse 50%, 75%, or any amount to slow the laser for more accurate aim. Instead only the length can be adjusted, but in its place is a special button that may make a world of difference for gamers. The Stealth Edition is not entirely adjustable – the thumb slab can’t be adjusted whatsoever, compared to the standard RAT 7, which can. I passed on reviewing the standard model, namely because I’m also testing out the RAT 9, which is identical except that it’s wireless.
The RAT 7 is a unique mouse already because it’s adjustable. So keep reading to learn about this and some of the other best gaming mouse you can buy today. Working with Mad Catz, who has recently released a number of high-end computer peripherals (some of which we’ll be reviewing in the coming week), they created with the RAT 7 Stealth Edition, complete with a Black Ops paint job and special functions specific to the game. It doesn’t matter what the franchise is, and Activision would be remiss if it didn’t take advantage of the latest Call of Duty, Black Ops.
