CONCLUSION

   After spending nearly a full week with the latest version of the R.A.T.9 wireless gaming mouse mostly playing World Of Tanks, Planetside 2 Beta, Doom 3 BFG (brought back memories but it wasn't what i was expecting from Carmack and his team over at id software), Blacklight Retribution and Dishonored I’m pretty much convinced that this is currently the best all-around wireless gaming mouse in the market. First of all it glides even better than the R.A.T.7 (perhaps due to the lack of the braided cable) while at the same time retaining the same speed and accuracy (although heavier due to the battery cell). Now compared to the previous 5600DPI laser sensor the new 6400DPI feels more precise but isn't really much faster, however this was certainly a required improvement especially since most of the latest wired gaming mice to hit the market offer tracking speeds in excess of 8000DPI. The wireless receiver/charging dock looks great, allows you to charge one of the battery cells (while using the other) and also has a spot for the weight storage container so it's quite unique and certainly not something I’ve ever seen with another wireless mouse. The two battery cells are also a nice touch since that practically means you will never ever run out of power. Of course Cyborg claims that you can use the R.A.T.9 for up to 4 days without having to use the other battery cell but in our case the R.A.T.9 worked for up to 5 days with one of the two battery cells which I didn’t really expect since usually the battery life in wireless devices is worse than advertised.

   Combining top build quality with excellent accuracy, very good speed, adjustable size, nonstop usage and wireless connectivity the updated Cyborg R.A.T.9 couldn't come cheap and it doesn't since it currently retails for USD127.99 inside the USA (Amazon) and 102.90Euros inside the EU (Caseking). Certainly if you don't need a wireless gaming mouse you can choose to go for the M.M.O.7 (or R.A.T.7 MMO as i like to call it) since it costs roughly the same and offers a more complete package for serious gamers. On the other hand if you really want to buy a wireless gaming mouse or generally a high quality wireless mouse which will never let you down then the Cyborg R.A.T.9 should really be on top of your to buy list and that's also why it gets our Platinum award.
