now I already looked at the rat 7 on my channel and that was the highest end of the RIT rat series of well mice I guess they're rats if you want to be really technical about it ok rat kind of like that so that is the highest end from this series so now we're going to have a look at the rat 3 which is the value rat Mouse so the first thing that stands out about the rat 3 is it lacks some of the customization options of the rat 7 it also is a lower dpi sensor so it is a 3200 dpi sensor so let's have a look at what else se Tech has to say for this particular Gaming Mouse ok 3200 dpi we bought that next we have low friction PTFE slick feet alright so what I normally call slippy pads they're calling slick feet I guess either one of those terms will do and we have a gold plated USB connector to make sure that you've always got good contacts it's going to be corrosion resistant all that good stuff ok so 400 to 3200 dpi in 400 dpi steps I like that it's quite a bit finer than some of the other gaming mice that I've seen out there acceleration up to 10 G's polling rate is dynamic up to 500 or Hertz so that is 500 times per second tracking speed is up to 1.2 m/s Wow good luck moving a mouse that fast ok everything else here is fairly straightforward ok LED colors are red blue and purple for each mode alright cool nothing on this side on the other side we see oh yeah we already looked at this read map programmable buttons and create custom macros with the powerful ST software ok that's something I didn't see before for user-definable dpi settings and 9 user definable commands via 3 programmable buttons and a three-position mode switch ok so why don't we start getting this thing open I can figure out how to open the box I had a lot of trouble with the rat 7 as I recall so there's actually 4 mice in the rat series there's 3 the 5 the 7 and the 9 so they've conveniently built themselves in enough room to do an entire upgraded series called the 4 6 8 and 10 I guess so the main differences are in terms of how much customization there is ok the rat 7 you can change almost every dimension of the mouse even how much customization there is and what features it has so the rat 9 for example is basically a wireless version of the rat 7 just in case they were wondering what is the difference between the night and the seventh so yeah this packaging is just a total bear to get open there we go aha so let's finally accessories here inside first there we go so cyborg so it's a state tech brand oh geez I believe for Mad Catz brand so sort of brand within a brand within a brand ultimately as long as it's good stuff it doesn't really matter okay so here we go cyborg gaming dot-com because uh here we go here's a summary look at that they're gonna make life easy for me okay so oh why so these are the keyboards okay so there's the clip cyborg keyboard they're just a fly okay oh no flies a joystick aha that helps okay product guy I love this okay so the three for user-definable DPI settings okay the five has 30 grams of removable weights I don't believe we're gonna find removable weights and the 315 user definable commands via five programmable buttons so there's one of the differences there at seven yes interchangeable pinky and palm rests for use of user definable DPI settings precision aim mode that one is the fully featured mouse and then the rat nine is the wireless version of that guy okay so let's look at the rat three Mouse and see what we think of it really okay they've fastened it with a twist I hear I was like I can't let's come out and then I realized why I came to move so they trashed the packaging you all right so let's see what we can adjust oh it looks like we do have some adjustments we have we have more customizability than I had originally thought so here we go let's have a closer look at this guy first of all we've got the hex key right here so that one is to slide this back and forth okay next we have a hex key over here and that one mmm how does that move it guess I'll have to figure this out off-camera okay so I have figured it out the rat three is not adjustable in any way these are to label the back and forward buttons so let's go through everything that is included on this mouse why don't we start with the forward and back buttons so these are programmable buttons you can change what you want them to do and that is a pretty cool thing okay here we have indicator LEDs for the DPI setting so you have up to four user definable dpi settings and you can pick the mode here that you desire okay and there's also a dpi adjusting button here okay this is rapid-fire this is your right-click which is not rapid-fire okay over here on the other side you have no buttons now unlike the higher end mice the rat 3 does not include like a metal plate on the bottom it is a fully plastic design you have a oh yeah you have a middle click as well as a mouse wheel should show you that this is just for show as far as I can tell it's kind of like a cool like cooling pipe looking thing that's built right into the mouse now it's quite even though it looks like there's kind of pieces missing and it might not be comfortable it actually fits quite nicely into like a claw type grip and the thing about that particular grip is it's pretty flexible you can use a small mouse whether you have small hands or big hands you should be able to hold the rat 3 fair comfortably for gaming so there's your laser sensor on the bottom and I forget how many dpi it is 3200 dpi laser sensor it's actually labeled right there good for me and there are your slippy pads on the bottom of the mouse including a very large one over your thumb because that's probably where you're going to be putting a lot of pressure if you hold a mouse anything like the way that I do so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the rat 3 don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings and other computer and gaming style videos with me as your gold plated USB connector look at that even has a little less cyborg logo on it
