so today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the cyborg rat 5 so the rat 5 is the middle range Mouse in the rat series of mice it is between the 3 and the 7 it has quite a few features that are improved over the rats 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 5 it has a 4000 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 if I have 5 buttons in a three position load switch okay we have a precision a mode with on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment to study 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 grams of removable weights unlike the rat 3 which doesn't not have removable weighs custom links adjustment we covered that already and 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've got better acceleration we have better tracking speed and the polling 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 a bit of a challenge but I think I've got it figured out at this point this is my third rat unboxing oh should I just rip them to deny so much for having it figured out okay so that comes out of there this one comes out of here then we are and this one will then finally and I dropped my camera sorry I probably gives you guys a headache when it swings around like that I'm using the born series of movies approach to filming my unboxings from now on this extensive use of shakey cam to make it seem more exciting okay forget it we're just going to do this okay inside here we find a little cyborg gaming thing which is gonna have a driver CD a little product guide to cyborgs a gaming line of products okay we also have a little yeah here we go here's my product guide oh no this is just for this mouse okay so this shows you a bunch of really cool stuff then so what if I can figure out how to make this right side up then will be in really good shape seems to be numbered well I can't okay here we go so one insert the CCD to plug in the USB connector three installed the cyborg technology software setting their precision aim button for four so what your sensitivity will be when you turn on precision aim alright step 5 is changing your adjustable dpi step six is the mode button set up to three different sets of button assignments and sensitivity levels by s T 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 from the oh yeah ok from the bottom in the back so we'll figure that out - and then for dpi settings which are just pull with this button so let's go ahead and get them oh wait hold on there's one of this thing here what's this oh yeah okay here's the little guide to the rest of the rats and the rest of the cyber gaming series of products all right here is our adjustable weight guy that has 50 grams removable weights inside here is our rat five with a couple of twists tides holding it into place in the packaging here so I'll just go ahead and pull those out 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 3 okay so here first things first why don't we have a look at the adjustable weights believe that's this one there 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 because once you've got it tuned the way you like it you probably won't want to change it very often but 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 pretty light weight build so it's it's nice to have a little bit of extra heft to it although the rat 5 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 DPI I believe hope it's not 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 ok and then this one right here let's figure out what 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 mouth shell backward or for no no there it is so that's all you got to do you just got to squeeze this little cliff and slide it back and forward just like that okay so what 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 it'd be a really quick way to fire off like a boat with you for about 6 or 7 rounds in a burst just like that so that's kind of a neat functionality so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the rat 5 don't forget to subscribe to Linus check tips for more unboxings reviews and other videos about computer stuff type stuff gaming stuff all that good stuff
