So today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the cyborg rat five so the
rat five is the middle range Mouse in
the rat series of mice it is between the three and the Seven it has quite a few
features that are improved over the rat 3 and I'd say it's probably the best
value in this series of mice which are
for hardcore gaming let's just get that out of the way there you go gaming mouse
for PC so the rat five it has a 4,000 DPI sensor which is about in the middle
of the Rat 3 and the rat 7 now bear in mind there's a rat 9 but it's basically
a rat 7 with wireless okay it has a few other things too it has a Precision aim
mode so that's a button that is for sniping okay it has a weight system
which is better than the rat 3 which does not have a weight system and it
also has is adjustable so it has an adjustable length unlike the rat 3 so
let's have a look at what it has to say for itself on the back it has more
programmable buttons than the rat 3 as well with 15 user definable commands via
five buttons and a three position mode switch okay we have a Precision a mode
with on thefly sensitivity adjustment to steady your aim at the touch of a button
like I said for sniping and it has an aluminum chassis the rat 3 is also
plastic so the aluminum chassis is well I guess it adds some durability as well
as some rigidity to the mouse you can remap the programmable buttons and
create custom macros with their powerful software and inside we find it also has
a weight system so it has 30 G of removable weights unlike the rat 3 which
does not have removable weights custom length adjustment we covered that
already in the four user definable DPI settings so you can adjust those DPI
settings I believe in increments of 400
although I could be mistaken about that one please do correct me if I'm wrong oh
in 125 DPI steps yet another improvement
over the rat 3 which is only adjustable in 400 DPI steps okay we got better
acceleration we have better tracking speed and the pulling rate is the same
looks like we've got three different LED colors for each mode that you are in so
that depends on what your programmable buttons will do and let's go ahead and
get this open the packaging on the rat series is
uh bit of a challenge but I think I've got it figured out at this point this is
my third rat unboxing oh shoot I just ripped it too
didn't I so much for having it figured out okay so that comes out of there this
one s of comes out of here there we are
and this one will then
finally and I dropped my camera sorry that probably gives you guys a headache
when it swings around like that I'm using the uh born series of movies
approach to filming my unboxings from now on just extensive use of shaky cam
to make it seem more exciting okay forget it we're just going
to do this there I cheated okay inside here we find a little cyborg
gaming thing which is going to have a driver CD a little uh product guide to
Cyborg's uh gaming line of products okay
we also have a little yeah here we go here's our product guide oh no this is
just for this Mouse Okay so this shows you a bunch of really cool stuff then
so here we are let's flip it over to
sort if I can figure out how to make this right side up then we'll be in
really good shape
seems to be numbered I can't can't quite F okay here we go so one insert the CD
two plug in the USB connector three install the cyborg
technology software setting your Precision aim button for four so what
your sensitivity will be when you turn on Precision aim all right step five is
changing your adjustable DPI step six is the mode button set up to three
different sets of button assignments and sensitivity levels via St software so
depending which games you like what sensitivity and whatever else you want
to adjust here we've got the adjustable length including instructions for how to
do that which will come in handy in a moment here we have our weight storage
system which is
uh from the oh yeah okay from the bottom and the back so we'll figure that out
too and then four DPI settings which are adjustable with this button so let's go
ahead and get them oh wait hold on there's one other thing here what's this
oh yeah okay here's the little Guide to the rest of the uh WRA and the rest of
the cyboard gaming series of products okay here is our adjustable weight guy
so that has 50 g of removable weights
inside here is our rat five with a
couple of uh twist ties holding it into
place in the packaging here so I'll just go ahead and pull those
out there we are that's not too challenging so there it is there's the
aluminum chassis that I remember from the rat 7 and I did notice was missing
on the rat three okay so here first
things first why don't we have a look at the adjustable
weights I believe that's this
one here we are so we can put on as many weights as we
want okay and then we can close it up
again just like that so that's pretty straightforward
it's something you won't use often cuz once you've got it tuned the way you
like it you probably won't want to change very often but uh it's really
nice to have that feature because I personally do change the weight settings
on any mice where I have that option I like a heavy Mouse and most mice these
days seem to be tuned for a pretty
lightweight build so it's uh it's nice to have a little bit of extra heft to it
although the ratp five is not a light Mouse because of the aluminum chassis it
has on it it does have a little bit more weight than an all plastic Mouse
normally would so let's have a look at the buttons we have included there's
your Precision aim button so that's going to change your DPI on the
Fly there's your indicator LEDs for the uh DPI I
believe hope it's DPI there is your DPI change button here
is your mode change button you've got your left click your right click as well
as your middle click Mouse wheel okay
and then this one right here let's figure out that does why don't we I
think that's to do with this but give me a second so the adjustable length gently
squeeze the retaining clip then slide the mouse
shell backward or forward oh know there it is so that's all you got to do you
just got to squeeze this little clip and slide it back and forward just like that
okay so why don't we you know I think I remember figuring this out on the rat 7
video why don't we figure out what that does and then I'll come back in just a
moment well that was a lot simpler than I thought it's just a programmable
scroll button for your thumb so you can actually access these buttons here the
aim button and you can also scroll it left or right and you can completely
program what that guy does so I mean I guess if I was using this mouse one of
the things I'd consider programming it for is just fire because uh that'd be a
really quick way to fire off like about 1 two 3 four about six or seven rounds
in a burst just like that so that's kind of a neat functionality so thank you for
