Exaggerate the appearance of a mouse heart: Mad Catz US lion RAT7 out of the box

Mentioned in the ZMD seen above the mouse sign, in addition to Razer, Logitech, the third I can think of is Mad Catz, although the amount of special offer broke the first two, but the personality of the shape design can never forget .

As early as March of this year, he wore a woot special 39 knife bought a RATm white Bluetooth mouse, simple and compact, and then gave his wife to go with the surface of the Internet to use, and I also use the mouse is not used to too small, hands Holding a lot of effort.

Later, I was still thinking about buying a larger Mad Catz. I had no chance for a long time. I took a look at RAT7. Meiya has never had a special price. Jingdong's RAT7 has a very strong price of 799 and is reluctant to buy it.

One to two to wait until the annual 618 this day, 0 points Jingdong price reminder sent RAT7 dropped to 599, then there are 599-120 vouchers again another icing on the cake, do not buy also wait for it! ! The price of the 479 was placed before bedtime on the same day.


Unpacking the hand

Compared with RATm, RAT7's packaging shrinks a lot and becomes a soft plastic transparent cover

The mouse has been on the market for many years, but the current RAT7 should be an upgrade, at least the packaging is an upgrade, and there is a win10 system support description at the bottom of the back.

Pull out drawer-like internal carton, mouse firmly embedded inside plastic tray

All items in the box, including manuals and four replacement palm rests and finger rests. Different surface materials and shapes are available

The middle laser sensor sticker needs to be torn off

The code at the beginning of D at the bottom of the box is the same as the code at the bottom corner of the mouse

Detailed appearance part

The palmrest was replaced by a red rubber material with a mesh texture so that the wrists are more secure.

Without an in-depth understanding and use, from this point of view, people are full of curiosity and reverie about this mouse's mechanical sense. In fact, after playing it, it is also a matter of course. There is no need to adjust the follow-up playability

Front view, I basically use it on weekdays, I don't see much when the palm rest is changed to red

The close-up on the thumb side is above the standard two custom shortcuts. The red round button is called the fine aiming key. The function is to lower the DPI when pressed, and the mouse pointer speed slows down.

Behind the scroll wheel is the DPI adjustment button, press forward +, successively press -

The wing button on the side of the index finger, at this time no power, you can vaguely see the gray logo light, each press after connecting will change the light color, should represent different preset modes, and can be seen in the configuration software

Bottom full aluminum alloy, corners are also one piece

Strong metal texture, red matte

Tail weight weights, 5 are all not removed in the column, I think the wired mouse is still a bit heavy in a reasonable weight range

This part is the tray of the thumb. You can see how to adjust it later. This is different from the pinky side. This part cannot be removed and replaced.

Compared with RATm, the size and style are significantly different

Sunlight a few white Bluetooth mouse, it is recommended to buy this Internet and office use

All-metal silver big wheel, roll control feel solid

The bottom is flat and the area of ​​the black mat is large enough

The design of the battery compartment is really the finishing touch, the structure is very compact, leaving no trace of space, like a clip, the next back to RAT7. . .

Here, you can see that the buckle on the left side of the weight can be used to lock the palm rest. After pressing the palm rest, it can be pushed and pulled. There are 5 holes in total and the length of the palm rest is adjusted.

It's easy to operate the palm rest completely.

Counted on the mouse, a total of 3 palm rests in the box

Two are black polished and the other is red rubber

Then turn to the little finger's tray. These holes are for installation.

There are three different materials and shapes to choose from. I installed the largest one on the right.

After the weight can be screwed out a simple tool to tighten the Hexagon screw, the entire mouse all the installation and adjustment of the screws need this

For example, the hexagon socket screw in this place is used to adjust the front and back position of the palm rest.

This adjusting screw concealed inside is used to adjust the angle of the thumb rest more finely.

This position is to install the little finger rest screw

Golden USB interface, I do not know if there is really gold plating, but this place has not forgotten to play the logo, work is indeed worth the extra points

Appearance photos are basically introduced here

PC software

According to the instruction manual of the official website to download drivers and programming software, respectively installed, the task bar can see the mouse icon, the following is a software screenshot, high score screen with win10 zoom settings, so the software interface font is a bit fuzzy

This is the software interface, you can see the driver and software version

The last page can choose the language, there is simplified Chinese

The second page is dpi settings

The number of four led lights represents the value set in the software for the dpi switching function. At present, this is the third file.

The third interface is the main function interface, programming function, has not been thoroughly studied

Select to open the preset file, you will see some of the game's own game presets that can be loaded

summary

As a 479 yuan mouse, rat7 is worth the money

The distinctive design features

The parts structure works well

Plastic and metal materials are all solid

The supporting software is easy to use

Pragmatic style, there is no fancy lighting effect, but this point in the popularity of many RGB peripherals, it is difficult to say it is a bright spot
