Mad Catz Cyborg MMO 7 Gaming Mouse Review

The software installation and setup went smoothly, and I hopped right in to start tinkering with all of the options the mouse provided that couldn’t be accessed with the allen key tool.  The software offers three primary screens to work in, Settings, Programming and Support.   In the Settings screen, you can adjust the sensitivity levels of each of the four dpi settings with an easy to use slider bar, as well as adjust other items as well such as the Precision Aim sensitivity.  The lighting on the mouse can also be adjusted in this screen as well under the Actionlock submenu.

The Programming menu is where most of the magic happens, this is the spot where you can build, customize, load, and save your templates with all your macros and mappings.  If you’re not sure where to begin with this menu, head over to the Support screen and download some pre-built templates.  They offer a wide variety of different games, across different genres, and if you can’t find the exact game you’re looking for, one of them will be close enough that the key mappings should be easy to modify. 

Once in play, if you want to switch games, or deactivate your profile, it’s as easy as pulling it up in your system tray on your desktop and either picking the new game you’re switching too, or deactivating the profile if needed.  One thing I did notice, is that the mouse does not appear to keep memory of the template itself and everything comes from the software.  So if you have plans to be taking the mouse with you and using a different computer and want it to remember your templates, you’ll have to bring along the templates on a flash or jump drive and install the software on the new rig to be able to load them.
