THE R.A.T.9
Exactly like the R.A.T.7 line of gaming mice the R.A.T.9 is made by aluminum and plastic, features the same size adjustable design, the same rubber coating at the top and looks like a spaceship.
At its default size the R.A.T.9 is a mid-size gaming mouse, however once you extend the rear it becomes quite larger (although not a really large gaming mouse).
So just like the R.A.T.7 there are two thumb buttons at the left side along with the precision aim button which basically slows down the mouse for increased accuracy and the DPI LED.
The rear palm rest can be replaced with the other two bundled ones (if you don't like it's size or if you require an more stable grip).
You can adjust the length of the rear palm rest by using the lever found beneath.
The length of the R.A.T.9 can be extended up to 20mm more via 4 increments of 5mm each.
An Allen key is attached at the rear of the mouse.
With that Allen key you can adjust the position of the thumb area and also replace the pinky grip with one of the bundled ones.
The thumb area can also be extended outwards as seen above.
At the right side we see no extra buttons, just the pinky grip which can be swapped with the bundled ones.
The product name is imprinted at the top.
There's also a thumb wheel which can be used to scroll between the available DPI profiles.
The left main mouse button has a rapid fire feature (ideal mainly for FPS games).
At the far front left we find the profile selection button and the profile LED.
As always the DPI selection button is placed between the two primary buttons and right above the scroll wheel.
Just like the R.A.T.7 the R.A.T.9 has the same high quality rubber coated scroll wheel.
Turning the mouse over we see the aluminum base, on/off power switch and 4 PTFE slick feet.
The 6400DPI laser sensor and the on/off power switch right next to it are the only two differences between the old and the new R.A.T.9.
As you can see the R.A.T.9 comes with 5 out of the 6 available 6g weights pre-mounted.
Here you can see the extra weight (was in the weight cartridge), the 2 extra pinky grips, the 2 extra palm rests and the 2 battery cells.
