Mad Catz has today launched the Cyborg R.A.T. Contagion Gaming Mouse for Mac and PC

Priced at £89.95, it features a 6400 dpi sensor, six programmable buttons, a custom weight system and a precision aim mode. The most striking thing about the gaming mouse is its eye-catching white and silver design which can be customised, allowing you to adjust its chassis to fit your hand size and grip.



The thumb panel of the R.A.T. moves forwards, backwards, and pivots outwards, and it also features interchangeable pinkie grips and palm rests.

Here’s the specs…

• Interchangeable Pinkie grips and Palm rests
3 palm rests
- One featuring the same soft-touch finish as found on the body of the R.A.T.
- One with a rubber inlay for enhanced grip.
- One that is 4mm thicker to increase the height of the R.A.T.

3 pinkie grips
- One featuring the same soft-touch finish as found on the body of the R.A.T.
- One with a rubber inlay for enhanced grip.
- One that offers a ‘wing shaped’ design, allowing you to rest your pinkie finger during play for increased grip.



• Custom Weight System – Like it light or heavy? Maybe you change the weight to suit your game? No matter, the R.A.T. has you covered. Five 6-gram weights can be added or subtracted in an instant, giving you the perfect weight for a perfect feel. When not in use, the weights can be safely stored in the supplied Weight Storage Container.

• Precision Aim Mode – Hit your target the first time every time. Use the ST Programming Software to set your desired Precision Aim speed (mouse sensitivity), then hold down the Precision Aim button to slow down mouse movement to a level that works for you. A deadly weapon that will hit your enemy where it hurts.

• 6400 DPI - Featuring a new generation 'twin eye' laser sensor that reads each axis separately for pinpoint accuracy, the R.A.T. 7 tracks up to a stunning 6 meters per second. Pro gamers who favor low sensitivity with high movement speed preferences will always experience correct tracking and precision.

• 4 Custom DPI Settings - Use the Rocker Switch to toggle between your custom DPI settings.



• 5 Programmable Buttons - Combine your Programmable Buttons with 2 regular left and right mouse buttons and give yourself a total of 7 buttons available to punish your competition. Assign your choice of key gaming actions to Programmable Buttons to create your own custom profiles.

• 3 Cyborg Modes – Toggle between three individual R.A.T. modes at the touch of a button. Change sensitivity or Programmable Button actions in an instant and gain immediate access to a mind-boggling 15 commands!

• Powerful ST Programming Software – Change your DPI, set Precision Aim cursor sensitivity, create custom profiles for each game, and assign commands to your Programmable Buttons and Modes. Easy, quick and the power you need right on your desktop.

• Lightweight Metal Chassis - Strong yet nimble, the solid metal frame forms the core of the R.A.T. 7 for enhanced rigidity.

The Cyborg R.A.T. Contagion Gaming Mouse is currently available to buy from the Apple Store.

Contagion. Lovely name for a mouse. *sneeze*. Does it come with anti-sceptic wipes? :p
looks good, once they ditch the phillips sensor then maybe it would be a viable option :P.

Im loving my logitech g400 though, seems to be the best out of many i have tried :)
Why are Apple selling gaming mice? :confused:

I have the RAT 5 and love it. But I think it needs a fairly big hand and some tweaking to get the right size.

I can't see why you'd pay twice the price for the white version when the 5 does everything this one does. It works fine on a Mac too.
