Hell yeah! Think about it, it's something that you will using all the time you are on a computer. Might aswell invest in something you find comfortable and usefull rather than skimping out.

I think the rat 5 has a lower dpi and doesn't have all of the customizing features.
Wish I could afford this :C

More parts to customise.
I'd like to go into this mouse as I've owned it now for 2 weeks.
The mouse concept itself is great, ultimate customization to suit how you play, and the pinky rest is a great feature too. It glides smoothly over the surface and I did notice I got increasingly better when using it.
Now the bad:
The mouse itself isn't level, if you tighten the thumb rest it rocks when you click the mouse button, I tried many times to fix this issue but there was none, apart from getting another pad and putting it under another at the rear of the mouse, which fixed the issue. I wouldn't expect to have to do such a thing for a mouse of this cost.
The issue which just occurred, literally 10 minutes ago was when scrolling through a web page, I felt the scroll wheel make a loud click, and now it doesn't work at all, the scroll wheel is physically broken. I've owned it for 2 weeks and it's already broken after light use. If this mouse was a £30 mouse I wouldn't even expect it to break after a year of use, let alone a £80+ one after 2 weeks. My Razer lachesis which has served me over 2 years is still working flawlessly and feels as good to me as the RAT 7.
I am greatly disappointed in this mouse, and I honestly recommend you to avoid it.
