Mad Catz: "Here, take this mouse !"
Me : "nope, give me a mouse instead"

 

[ComedicHistorian]

Maybe I'm just an idiot and missed it (very possible) but why isn't the price of this item listed anywhere on this page?

Soon, this particular mouse will have lost so much of its self compared to previous versions, the only thing the company can do to 'improve' the design and make it more xtrasupadupa is to shorten/lighten the name from "R.A.T." to just "R.A."



I personally think this change in acronym would increase net sales by 28%+............ honest?

 

[TheUn4seen]

This one is certainly over the top, but I have to say i that Mad Catz mice are the only ones I personally find comfortable. They have a low, wide profile and are easily adjusted as far as physical properties go. They are good for games, but they really shine at work. The "precision aim" button works great for quick and dirty CAD corrections, the angle snap function is well tuned without being too aggressive. Right now I use R.A.T 6 since the day it became available in retail for 12-16 hours a day (for work and games) with the only sign of wear being some paint cracks on the thumb rest.
Optical scroll would be nice though, I do a lot of scrolling.

 

[Splinterdog]

That's one sexy looking piece of kit.
I'd probably buy one just to stare at all day.

If the side buttons are still plastic they will break, if you use too much force to press them.

So which button to accelerate?

 

[MxPhenom 216]

At least they use an optical sensor now. But good lord these mice looks ridiculous and feel like dog shit for an esport.

Probably the classic "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" applies.

 

[Bladeknight]

This mouse could look better with another colour scheme.

So which button to accelerate?

WOW, you must be very smart.
