"The Ouroboros is configurable but doesn’t boast as many points of adjustment as Mad Catz mice. The Ouroboros doesn’t lengthen or widen to the same degree Mad Catz mice are capable of, nor does it include weights to adjust the weight of the mouse.
But you still have plenty of options. The side panel “wings” (or finger “shelves”) are held in place firmly by magnets, but they are still easy to remove if you prefer the alternate flush, texture-rubber side panels instead. A small, ridged, metal dial on the underside of the palm rest raises and lowers the palm rest slightly.
And while the Ouroboros may be a little less physically configurable than Mad Catz mice, it has other advantages. It’s an ambidextrous design for one, whereas Mad Catz R.A.T. mice are purely designed for right-handers. In addition, the Ouroboros is easier to change on-the-fly.
Granted, it’s not something you’ll likely need to do often (if ever), but the magnetic side-panels are easy to quickly change and don’t require any tools. (The magnets are surprisingly powerful too—during a swap I casually placed a panel approximately an inch from the side of the Ouroboros, which after a second or two sucked the panel into place with an authoritative “snap!”)
The Ouroboros uses a single AA NiMH rechargeable battery rated for up to 12 hours of gaming life. The decision to use an AA battery is a good one and the included battery should be more than adequate for most gamers. Unfortunately, if you need to change the battery you have to open the mouse with the included screwdriver. Or if you don’t mind temporarily forgoing wireless freedom, you can opt to connect the USB cable directly to the Ouroboros in the event of battery-near-death “emergency”.
The charging platform for the Ouroboros is smartly designed. Not only does the mouse look like a model star fighter sitting atop it, but the pedestal has a slightly sticky, rubber underside to firmly root it in place—without ruining the finish on your desk but still enabling you to move it if need be."
