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)? – MBraedley Sep 11 '11 at 16:20
Should of gotten a Logitech. . . – surfasb Sep 18 '11 at 0:50
@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. – MBraedley Sep 18 '11 at 2:02

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. – MBraedley Sep 11 '11 at 16:21
That's partly why I suggested using beta software. – harrymc Sep 12 '11 at 6:46
Fair, but that page addresses another problem (that I'm not having) and was last updated a year ago. – MBraedley Sep 13 '11 at 2:07
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. – harrymc Sep 13 '11 at 7:16
I tried it anyways, and it doesn't fix the problem. – MBraedley Sep 13 '11 at 10:16
