The Rat 9 that i bought the other day just came in, it's 5600DPI. Pretty misleading product page.

The RAT 7 and up come with 6400 dpi currently. Just got a RAT 7 and it says 6400dpi on the box.

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems Amazon is shipping the old version, but it's fine and better yet, the price is good. thanks again!

I didn't still install my Saitek. I still need to acquire a better computer. I have information that it is excellent.

I pre-ordered this item on 11 Feb. I check today and the Amazon price has dropped by $18. I canceled my preorder and re-preordered. In the meantime, I'm off to find those places where the device is in-stock!Engadget has pictures! - http://www.engadget.com/photos/slimblade-trackball-hands-on/1373122

Bummer, still no responses re: which version Amazon is shipping. On of my RHEL5 linux users wants a webcam and I'd like to recommend this one. But I'm not going to do that and risk Amazon shipping an older model.

Yes.If you have any problems (you shouldn't) you can contact http://madcatz.com/ (the manufacturer) or Saitek.

Maybe NOT if you're running Windows 10. I see many complaints about Saitek/MadCatz Windows 10 Issuese.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/comments/3h0xx8/x55_on_windows_10/

I DON'T think that the different boxes have anything to do with refurb's. Neither Amazon nor Logitech is that stupid. I think this is either Amazon or Logitech, or both - are clearing out their warehouse(s) of the 10s. The 'blister' and 'black w/Velcro' packaging pre-date the 'silvery-blue' box. The easiest way to establish if your toy came from the later production runs??? Does your toy include "Comply" tips??? If not, then YOUR toy has been bouncing around for awhile. Only the latter (approx. last 18 months) runs have the "Comply" bud cushions. The prior runs have those useless (IMHO), yellow foam cushions- which where replaced by the preferable "Comply" cushions. Hope this helps- best, a. UPDATE 12.05.10 @ 3.30AM Eastern: PO dropped it off today; I got a VERY THIN black presentation box with a velcro dot, this box is inside a stronger cardboard box. This is NOT the 'old' black box, this might be Amazon's frustration free packaging. The black box comes across VERY cheap, considering that this is suppose to be a $400 item- the black box communicates SUPER CHEAPNESS! The item is NEW, the exterior cardboard box makes the packaging satisfactory for transport, but the interior black box DOESN'T communicate that this is a premium product. I've received $20 no-name china 'toys' in superior, more impressive packaging. BTW, the cardboard box was sent in a shipping box, so there are three boxes in total. Considering that it's the earbuds that count, not the box- I'm OK. BUT if I'd paid the usual $300+ - I would be very upset at the tissue-paper quality of the black box. So may I suggest that you forget about the packaging and simply enjoy the magnificent 10s! a.

We ordered three of the Kid Galaxy Morphibians - they appear to come in either 27 or 49mhz (I need to return one:-(). I wish that all of the models had the frequency listed. I found that if I did a search for the Morphibian and frequency, the frequency was listed on the brief results. Good luck!

Good question. I was wondering the same thing. Recently replaced my dying Eclipse II with an inferior product. This seems like a good replacement and I like the color scheme better than the 2-tone on the Saitek. Wondering if there are any other differences.

IDK either ... I bought it and got the standard version. I do not see much difference except for the metal on the pedals which maybe makes them more durable. I use the pedals with Windows XP as my OS; the interface of my pedals is USB, the Saitek Drivers get the pedals into my computer and Saitek includes a program to check that the pedals are working. BUT to get the pedal info into any running program they have to be linked to the Windows Device Manager by going to the Control Panel and Clicking on Game Controllers, then clicking on ADD then scroll down to Saitek and select it. I made a screen shot but Amazon does not give me a way to attach it to this e-mail.

Mine had a Realtek RTL8188CUS, but beware that they may change the chip without notice. BTW, I could never get mine to work with Linux, even though Linux saw the device and it seemed to work, I could never get it to connect to a wireless access port.

Hi,Well I have been trying to buy one of these for like 2 months now. It was always sold out everywhere. Finally at Target the manager told me that Leap Frog had stopped sending them out to retailers and also recalled the ones they had in stock. Mainly because they found a problem with the leap pads, some sort of glitch. I called Leap frog and they still don't know when they will be out and fixed. This is probably why you still have not received your new one. Hope you do... Take cae!

In case you missed it, the RAT7 is now shipping. MaximumPC did a review of it and gave it a 10 out of 10 and "kick ass" award. They said the RAT9 should be available later in the summer. I'm pretty patient, so I'm still waiting.
