    Here you can get a good look at the R.A.T. 7's profile. There is a big side scrolling button in the middle and on the end facing right you can see the adjustment tool. It goes where the mouse goes.

    On the other side, you can use the tool to adjust the thumb button housing to move up and down the length of the mouse and to flare out away from the mouse if you want.
