One of the things that I like about the Razer mice is that once I've configured the mouse to my liking, the settings are stored inside and will not need the Razer software to work.

This is very important since the software is most likely not available for Linux (or maybe I'm using the mouse at a computer where the software is not available).

Therefore I was wondering, are the settings stored onboard the RAT 7?

How did you get that white RAT? It looks absolutely amazing, though I imagine it'd get dirty quite easily. But damn.

Razer DeathAdder dying, so I need to pick up a new mouse. This will be difficult.

LOL srry but the R.A.T mouses are seriously the worst gimmicky, useless, not worth the price of all gaming mouses ever. You only pay for all the customizable parts of the mouse witch is completely useless when you can buy a cheap mouse and have the same comfort. High DPI is so useless too and really this mouse just look plain awful. IMO, it seems to be the mouse for kids who think flashy mouse will make them better. I don't understand how people can spend 100$ on this crap.

Everyone has different preference lol. Have you ever used it before? How do you know it's gimmicky and useless while it could adjustable and fit your palm and hand perfectly? I know the DPI is useless, so does any other mouse. Ppl said Mac has terrible specs, but they still buy it. You see it ugly, I see it beautiful. You call my gf ugly, I can say the same with your gf. Everyone has different taste, please respect each other.

I know everyone has different preference but I don't understand how people can spend 100$ on a mouse that does nothing more than other mice except being adjustable. My friend bought one and seriously this mouse doesn't fit my palm and hand more "perfectly" than any other mice even after adjust it to fit my hand (got smaller hands than my friend). IMO, you know its gimmicky when there is nothing more than adjustability to justify the cost. Its like backlit keyboards, its gimmicky because you pay more for the lights than the keyboard itself. I understand your point on preference/taste but i still don't get why people like to throw money outta of the window so easily when they can get better products for less. Srry if I offended you, it wasn't my goal.

Funny, I own a PC to play games on and casually use the internet for non-work stuff. Stupid gimmicks to sell me shit I don't need! How dare they? The PC component and peripheral and software companies are as bad as McDonalds, who have the gall to force you to eat cheap, quick, easy food and make you fat!

I like my RAT. I accept that lots of people won't like it. For me, once I adjusted it to fit my hand and got used to the new size, shape, weight, and glide (how dare something different feel different?), it became the most comfortable mouse ever. Is it pointless and gimmicky? Damn straight it is. Do i care? No. In my personal, utterly subjective opinion, did I get ripped off? Nope.

Anyone who attacks another person's choice of luxury items is almost always jealous they can't afford it, or arrogant enough to think that everyone should hold their opinion.

By the way, value is not fixed, and not objective. Ever. It's subjective.

Lamborghini is useless, who need a 1000+ hp while you can drive a Toyota Hybrid at the same 65 mph on free way anyway?

How can you compare a car to a mouse? The Lambo will allow you to drive faster than a Toyota even if its not permitted. Your 100$ mouse will not make you play better than a 50$ dollar one...

If you can get a deathadder without jitter issues, then it's a great mouse, I'm not sure how a bad sensor might affect SC2, obviously not as bad as it would in an FPS but still control is needed for units so I'd go for a WELL BUILT mouse, i.e. a Logitech mx518, deathadder (the working ones), abyssus (non-jitter), 3.0/1.1 microsoft.

Cyborg has 6400 dpi, DA 3500 dpi. Lambor doesn't make you a better driver than the Toyota, you can't drift a Lambor like Japanese does with their Nissan GT-R. So you never use it anyway, see the point? Don't hate on others bro.

I never said that driving a lambo will make you a better driver...You don't buy a lambo to be a better driver, you buy it for having more power and be able to drive faster than others. Guess ill stop argue with you because i don't have a clue about your logic. GL HF and i don't hate on anyone here.

His logic is that different doesn't mean bad, and in a luxury item, you can't tell someone there's no reason to buy it.

So for example, i can't tell someone there's no reason to buy an alienware pc when he could buy all the parts himself and have a better/similar pc for a lower price? Or did i just don't understand at all?

You don't buy some stuffs just to make it work. Sometimes you want it to be perfectly fit your demand and has a good looking. That's why ppl pay more money on clothes, cars, cellphone and other luxury things.

Will do.

I'm going to link some of the reviews from TL users in this thread to the OP, as well as a few threads that have popped up on TL in the last few months.

katnegermis pm'ed me about linking his thread on Magikat which I will do as well. Sorry for the delay (I've been busy!)

If anyone else has any suggestions for missing content or wants to create any write-ups for the OP, please pm me.

edit: hold that thought, it has been so long since I edited the OP that it is actually locked. I will have to contact a friendly mod so I can edit it again.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

There are reasons to do it. Just because in your opinion those reasons aren't worth the money, in other people's they are. Also, AlienWare vs the same hardware in a different case is rather different than two mice with entirely different specs, capabilities, and features.

I used the RAT 9 and the Deathadder for a while but found the Abyssus to be vastly superior. For me it comes down 100% to accuracy, and this is the most accurate mouse ive used.
