[Updated 27/03-14] Cougar teases new gaming mouse. R.A.T. wannabe?

[That Norwegian Guy]

Update: Cougar have posted the final pictures. It was a while ago and I missed it, but no one else seem to have posted them here so here you go:

 

 

 

Also a new keyboard! Cougar still haven't released the specs of these two, so we don't know what switches or sensors are involved yet.

Also: They're German and don't know how to spell "Aluminium"?? Preposterous.

 

All we have to go on at the moment are three silhouettes... Seriously, what is it with German companies and making bizarre gaming mice?

 

 

I certainly am intrigued by this news. Source

Tiny mouse for big hands? That's what I'm seeing, at least.

I used a RAT and it is a no no for me.

[Kerplex]

Yea i can see it's not for me.

Well the R.A.T. is known to range from spectacularly bad to awesome depending on your particular luck with that particular mouse's manufacturing tolerances, as they had a lot of moving parts that didn't always come out right from the factory.

Not interested, want Func MS-3v2 instead.

I have had 2 rat 7 mice, the first one the left button died and the second the lazer started to bug out

Ironically the two things that have very little to do with manufacturing since sensors and switches are usually gotten from third parties

I got pretty lucky with my rat 7 contagion, its had no problems really apart from cosmetic because the grip is kinda going but its been used for hardcore gaming for 2 years now. On the polar opposite my father had a sensei raw and pro, the raw had very bad sensor problems and the side buttons wouldnt register well, we sent it to steelseries and got the pro, the pro started smoking after about a month of light use and it died after that, my father now uses some msi mouse that ive never seen before. Its odd that both steelseries mouses  stopped working, my father takes care of things ridiculously well. On the other hand i go ape shit with my rat 7 every now and then, get a bs death in bf4 and start smashing the rat on the table, i guess rats only work if you treat them like shit.

It could be a rebadge of zalmans use "wtf" mouse

my first rat lasted about 6 months and the 2nd was alittle over 2 years. I really like the rat 7 but i thought i better look at another untill i hear about quality improvements

 

currently using a mionix naos 3200

Remember when companies used to just build and release a new product that was good enough to sell, they didn't need to play with cloak and dagger marketing in order to build up hype only to sell a product that in many ways is just like every other product with very little features worthy of a fanfare launch.

 

Meh...

Updated with new pictures of the actual mouse. Surprise, keyboard as well.
