I'm not a gamer, my last game I enjoyed was Command and Conquer Generals (years ago) however I did install Crysis for the scene builder and let my kid play it...or not as it went all crazy on a dual screen configuration, how does one play a shooter game on a dual monitor setup?
dual monitor is rather strange for gaming... I would suggest running the game in "windowed" mode and taking it to one or the other.
this software will let you set up multiple monitors for most games and you could program it to use one and black the other.

It's no difficulty running 2 monitors with 2 graphics cards unless you are using SLi. The second monitor is nice if you are an admin on the server or are using teamspeak so you can see who is playing or talking. BF3 will run in windowed mode using ALT+ENTER.

Ok, I watched a review on the RAT. It's obviously for gamers only. Since I don't play games it seemed a bit OTT.
But each to their own. I do have a friend who's addicted to either Battlefield or Call of Duty. It's constantly on his TV. It does look impressive but I fail to understand the draw.... I do like PES though

Why do you need so much gear?I dont but WIRED magazine had a charity sale and lots of gear went for very low prices. i would not buy them normally, £100-130 for a mouse is very excessive but they where only £5. I gave more as it was for charity but still its nearlly that for a pint in London!!!

Liam, I do play BF3. Not as fancy a controller setup as yours by any means, a plain old G5 mouse, N52 and AV8r-01 stick is what I use. I'll send you a friend request, you'll see it from "Ympakt".

EDIT: I searched battlelog and Origin for your nick "liam887" and it couldn't find you. Do I have it right?
My steam account is Liam887 but my origin was liamk887

the Rat 7 has extended configuration... the back slides outward, the thumb rest rotates out, there are multiple pinky rests for it... up to 5600dpi with on mouse sensitivity buttons, a sniper button(minimal sensitivity) 3 different mode configurations that allow user sets. a set of weights to make it heavy and solid, two different wheels one forward and one sideways. and a braided wire.
I wanted something that would be great for gaming and also be great for sketchup. and this is what I found. I have a BF3 mode and a SketchUp mode. it rocks.
Yes having a mouse with 5600dpi and multiple buttons is great for lots of art and design software. I can pretty much do away with the keyboard in most cases.
Not to mention having different setups for tight detail work and then broader sketching mock up work

They had a bottle of Jonnie Walker Blue label for £50. Didn't trust myself so let it be in the end!
