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...

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...

Cyborg isn’t exactly known for its subtlety. The weird, slapped-on construction, broken and split without a trace (or grace) for seam and finish makes the R.A.T mices a hot mess in pictures. But as we found out in our reviews of the R.A.T 3 and...

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...
