If you will recall, we rather like the R.A.T. line of mice here at Maximum PC.
In our recent Dream Machine 2011 build, we used the wireless R.A.T. 9, and
the R.A.T. 7 is the only mouse that’s
ever received a 10 Kick Ass verdict in
the pages of the magazine. From what
we’ve heard since then, we didn’t make
a mistake with that reviewâ€â€some people snark about the R.A.T.’s over-
the-top futuristic design, but nearly
everyone who’s actually gamed with
one loves it. In fact, when we ran our
“Best PC Part I Ever Spent My Hard- Earned Cash On†contest last week, no other piece of hardware got anywhere
near as many mentions as the R.A.T.,
which was featured in 7 entries. So we were pretty psyched to get our
hands on the new version of the R.A.T
7: the Albino. It’s got an enhanced
sensor (up to 6,400 DPI, although we’re
starting to wonder what sort of person
actually needs that much sensitivity), but the real star of the show is the new
matte white finish. We’ve taken some
pictures so you can see for yourselves,
but they don’t really do it justiceâ€â€
every person we’ve showed the mouse
to so far has agreed that it’s a very cool look. Expect a full review of the updated
R.A.T. in an upcoming issue of Maximum
PC, but for now check out our photos
and the official press release below. ------------------------- MAD CATZ® ANNOUNCES SHIPPING OF
