The Cyborg took a beating as we spent several hours grinding, questing and blasting our way through some of our favorite titles. For example, the RPG Profile Pack features "Dragon Age 2," "Star Wars: The Old Republic" and "Warhammer Online." With the profile packs, we simply dropped and dragged commands onto the buttons of our choosing. However, Mad Catz also has a number of downloadable profile packs that can cover a large swath of games in genres for those that want to skip all the modding and get straight to gaming. which offers unlimited profiles that can be accessed in the cloud via Razer's Synapse 2.0 software. We wish there was some cloud functionality so players wouldn't have to go back to the drawing board if they use the mouse with another machine. 7 doesn't have any onboard memory so it falls to Smart Technology to keep track of all the profiles.
Add the two MMO shift buttons and you've got a whopping 90 buttons per profile. A user can easily program each of the 15 buttons in every mode. Each profile comes with three modes that can be accessed via the black MMO button. Once the macro was complete, we hit the green check mark to save. For the macros we hit the small mouse button on the right to begin recording. We clicked on the button we wished to program and entered the keystroke in the text box below. Entering keystrokes and creating macros was fairly simple. The real fun started when we started programming buttons. We created our own custom backlight colors using the 16 million color options for the ActionLock settings (Default, Off and On). Mad Catz relies on intuitive sliders to tweak settings for DPI and precision aiming. We love the software's clean yet fun layout, including the subtle honeycomb design and mock schematics. After downloading the Smart Technology software from Mad Catz website, we went to work creating profiles.
