Mad Catz The Authentic R.A.T. 4+ Optical Gaming Mouse, Black

The Mad Cat mice are usually a great buy and generally are a great buy. The buttons work well and it is very accurate for aiming in games and for sketching in 3D graphics. The size is customizable and the design has been proclaimed by some friends to look like a transformer from the movies.I try to buy Mad Cats when I can afford them as they are my favourite mice and I've been using them for years for gaming and for 3D graphics.

A* mouse, only wish you could control the LEDS on the mouse rather than it rotating on its own

Been looking at these for over ten years now, mainly because of its looks since I had never even seen one irl let alone held one. Got the chance to buy a R.A.T 6+ recently and even though the I.P is owned by another company now it hasn't disappointed.Looks awesome even in person imo yet asides from the looks with the adjustable palm rest it feels the right size in my large hands, something every other mouse i have ever owned has lacked.The position of the thumb rest is just right and has enough area for my thumb also the back and forward buttons don't protrude. The sniper button does protrude, i'm aware of it yet is firm enough to not accidentally press. Scroll wheel seems robust as well.It does have adjustable weights which are already in the mouse when bought and has a screw in mechanism from the rear of the mouse (Rear engined?) yet is heavy enough for me and I like a heavy mouse. Fantastic accuracy as well when testing I could look away from the screen and still be accurate with where the cursor would end up.If I could pick something out that isn't up to scratch about the 6+ is the adjustable palm button you hold down to unlock the palm rest, it does not seem sturdy yet hopefully it doesn't need to be used very often and maybe just maybe the top frame which is plastic may be susceptible to damage.My most comfortable mouse yet and i've owned Corsair and Roccat in the past. I HIGHLY recommend!

Got it for my friend son, who by the way likes it.

Not a bad mouse, lots of comments from other reviewers that it is not as good quality as the original, tend to agree. BUT, it's still a strong mouse for gaming in my opinion. Happy I have a new RAT and no issues so far.

I have been using this product since Aug 2021. I have had no issues and the mouse has worked just fine. However, the sliders on the actual mouse as you can see by the picture are of poor quality. They are now 'fraying' at the edges making smooth use of the mouse less than optimal. This seems to be happening across all of the sliders. Very disappointing for the price of the product that this is an issue after a year of use...

Extremely good for gaming

I am left handed and my hands are small too... Anyway this will do for now as I can take the attachment top and side panels off so can make it work.But kind of disappointed, its too expensive and £75 for this model, build and features, it should be more in price range of £40-50. I did like the fact my old Roccat Kova had 6 side buttons which was around that price range.I was happy with the Kovas 3 side buttons on each side and hoping the same for this but this only has 2 side buttons.The Kova was slightly big for my hand, so I thought of trying theses Mad Catz mouse, as I've been told you can increase or decrease their length, but unfortunately those models don't seem to come in left handed or even as ambidextrous so I had to buy this model. I heard you could take these apart and was hoping it would fit my small hand. It is a gaming mouse and I do like the response from it. I am a casual gamer so its not that bad for me to use for now I guess. But I will keep looking!So if your not left handed better to buy 1 of the other models, right handed with all the features. And if your left handed casual gamer this could do for now till you find a good fit.Over all I would say 50/50 up to you to check if it will fit your needs, I will make do with this as I don't have much of a choice and my kova lead is messing up. I will use it with out the side panels and top attachments as seen in the pictures.
