Been using Cyborg Rat 9 for over 6 months.
I don't really use to game but I find the sidescroll extremely useful for photo/video editing.

However after 6 months, I notice the batteries don't use to last as long anymore. Anyone have any idea where I can get Rat 9 spare batteries ?

Just 2 things I suppose.
1. Hard to find replacement batteries. I've looked for a few places which sells Rat 9... but they don't sell the batteries. They provide 2 batteries, I swap them nearly every single day. It's not like regular wireless mouse where one battery can last for weeks.
2. Responsiveness. There are times where it's really really good. Even for a wireless mouse, 1ms response time after all.
But they're prone to suddenly lagging as well. I'm using it about 50cm to 1m away from the transmitter....

Using it on an iMac 2012. Rarely used for gaming, mostly for photo/video/audio editing. Got the wireless to cut down on clutter. I believe it's very similar Rat 7 (feel/performance (when it's working).

I use maximum weights but left out the pinkie rest. Felt it was too big for my cramped table lol.

Compared to regular wireless, the wireless dongle isn't a tiny USB stick.
Rather it's 5cmx5cm charging station + wireless transceiver. Swapping batteries is really really easy.
Although, needing to do that every day or two is irritating.

One thing about cyborg rat mouse.... since it has quite a bit of nook and corners.... cleaning it can get tedious

Need some suggestion for some mouse.
My Cyborg Rat 9 just died.
Scroll wheel couldn't function properly anymore after 6 months. Seems like this is a very common occurrence too. (Extremely disappointed with them. I would expect better durability from a flagship mouse that cost nearly RM 500)

Was using DA several years back too, liked it a lot but not enough buttons.

I need something with lots of buttons, preferably a thumb scroll wheel button.
Will be using it for multimedia (FCPX, Photoshop, lightroom) functions alongside a intous tablet.

Palm grip, right handed (medium sized hand)

Wired or wireless doesn't matter. As long as it's very reliable and it doesn't lag. I felt the cyborg rat 9 lags at times. It also uses custom battery which runs through like water. Once both given batteries are dead, there is no way you can get replacements as they're very very hard find.

DPI medium to medium high. Switchable on the go is preferred but not needed. Just don't reset the settings everytime I switch it on (OSX).

Should be able to input buttons macro on OSX, hardware customization not important.

No more Saitek, my mouse died in less than a year but warranty only covers 90 days. I've lost confidence in that brand.

Budget about RM 500.

Thanks !

Not Razer Naga or Logitech g600.
The numpad buttons configuration seems counter intuitive for me.

I'll consider the G700, Taipan and Ouroborus, thanks.

I guess Cyborg rat is the only mouse that has horizontal scrolling...
A pity, that function is really useful when editing video where side scrolling comes in really handy,

I got the Razer Orochi 2013 in the end as I didn't feel like spending another Rm500 on a mouse after the bad experience.
It's a little bit too small (but still bearable) and the build quality is far from the Rat 9.
But at least it runs on bluetooth (don't need extra adapter) and it works fine... for now.
