Not one person who looked at the Cyborg R.A.T. 7 gaming mouse while it was in my possession did so without making some kind of exclamation or comparison. There were expletives, comparisons to the Batmobile, and those who called it a Transformer. All...

I've said it earlier, but I'll say it again here - this is the most unique mouse in both style and customization available on the market to date. There's a good chance you've already made up your mind as to whether or not you want one -...

Cyborg's R.A.T. 7 is craziness embodied, and we love it. Customisable to the teeth, it's only let down by a slightly unpolished software suite. It is an otherwise fantastic mouse; its unique features ensuring that it earns our...

An eye-catching mouse with plenty of customisation options, but it’s expensive and we found its design a little gimmicky...

The R.A.T. series of mice has raised a few eyebrows with its odd shape, but it wasn’t until we saw the R.A.T. 7 – the most extravagant of the range – that we understood why it looks so odd. The surface is split into four areas, with...

When I find something that fits just right, I tend to stick with it. With running shoes, it's New Balance's 1060, whose model number has reliably ticked up once a year since I started wearing them. After five years, I'm now onto the 1064....

The first Cyborg mouse we looked at, over two years ago, was quite well received despite the irrelevance of the motorised adjustable length. Despite this pointless gimmick it was a functional, multi-buttoned rodent, though not in the same class as the...

Nothing completes a badass system more than the Cyborg R.A.T. 7 gaming mouse. This piece of hardware is not a gimick even in the slightest sense. Some gamers may not like the looks of this futuristic mouse, but its versatility and high quality...
