So I bought a Cyborg RAT 7 mouse a while back, and I love it, except for one thing: it's not automatically selecting the profile for the game I've just started. This is annoying because, for instance, I have the forward and back buttons, as well as the side scroll set up for weapon selection in some games, and if the proper profile isn't selected before starting the game, none of it works.

How can I get my mouse to load the proper profile when I start up a game?

The support page says

Can I link a profile to start when my game starts?
No. This feature is not part of the R.A.T. software.

  • That's all fine and good, but are there any work-arounds (willing to install Auto-hotkey or Event Ghost to get it to work)?

  • @surasb: I've got Logitech for pretty much everything else. In fact, the RAT replaced an MX1000 wireless mouse which I had grown rather fond of. The RAT just seemed to be a league above any of Logitech's gaming mice though.

Updater's Notes: This program is no longer maintained. It does, however have a few versions available on the Web Archive project. Links have been updated for the two latest available versions.

Edit: Updated to 3.1.7! See the changelog below for details

I recently bought the Cyborg M.M.O.7 mouse and love the product! But I noticed that they did not include a feature to automatically swap profiles depending on the game or software currently running! It isn't the most required feature but it just makes the operation of the mouse and keyboard much smoother to not have to worry about changing profiles.

  • Cyborg Auto-Profiler is a lightweight, yet reliable utility designed to switch profiles for Cyborg input devices.

  • When the application detects that a set game or application is running, it will change the profile accordingly. or you can set HotKeys to switch to a specific profile. You can also set a default profile, which is activated when no set processes are detected. For R.A.T Mouse users it can change the DPI mode and Precision Aim Percentages with every individual profile allowing seamless transition and ultimate personalization. M.M.O.7 users can also change the LED colors with specific profiles.

Features Include:

  • Supports all Saitek and Cyborg devices.
  • Automatic switching of profiles when specific software are detected.
  • Default Profile for devices when no set software is running.
  • HotKeys for swapping to specific profiles.
  • You can choose from 2 types of Software detection.
  • Change the DPI mode and Precision Aim settings for each profile for R.A.T devices.
  • Change the LED colors of M.M.O.7 device for each profile.
  • Launch profiles without ProfilerU Software running.
  • Automatic Update option.

Supported Devices:

  • Cyborg Mouse R.A.T. 3.
  • Cyborg Mouse R.A.T. 5
  • Cyborg Mouse M.M.O 7
  • Cyborg Mouse R.A.T. 7.
  • Cyborg Mouse R.A.T. 9.
  • Cyborg Mouse Contagion
  • Cyborg Keyboard V.7
  • Cyborg Keyboard S.T.R.I.K.E.7
  • Cyborg V.5 Rumble Pad for PC/Xbox 360
  • Cyborg F.L.Y.5
  • Cyborg Command Unit

It has a default feature so when no process is detected it will load it, That is good for a Desktop profile. It can detect a set running process and change the profile accordingly.

R.A.T and M.M.O.7 can change their DPI mode with every individual profile allowing seamless transition.

M.MO.7 users it can change the LEDs with every individual profile allowing seamless transition.

Have you installed the latest drivers ?

You might also try the beta version of the programming software.

  • Probably not the latest (whatever was on the CD), but @Alpine's answer seems to indicate that wouldn't change anything.

  • That's partly why I suggested using beta software.

  • Fair, but that page addresses another problem (that I'm not having) and was last updated a year ago.

  • The article is old, but the idea still applies. You should badger the developers for a solution and try beta versions as they come out. This mouse cannot succeed on the market without this feature.

  • I tried it anyways, and it doesn't fix the problem.
