Featuring a state-of-the-art Pixart PMW 3389 Optical Sensor, the R.A.T.8+ 1000 is remarkably accurate, remaining responsive and free of tracking errors at all times. The sensor only tells part of the story however, the R.A.T.8+ 1000 has been expertly engineered with a super lightweight chassis ensuring the sensor position is perfectly balanced on your gaming surface, while providing a rigid foundation for the remaining components.

On-board memory allows players to save up to four individual gaming profiles on the mouse, ideal for tournament play.



"It's hard to believe that it's been 30 years since Mad Catz first arrived on the gaming scene, and the evolution of digital entertainment has been staggering to behold. Mad Catz shares the same values of innovation, value and quality as we did all those years ago and we can't wait to share our future plans with the community in the year ahead," said Joane Huang, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing for Mad Catz Global Limited. "The R.A.T. mouse has been a jewel in our range for some time now and we believe the limited-edition R.A.T.8+ 1000 is the ideal way to celebrate such a milestone."

Still love my rat pro x's excellent mouse It's about time they're back.
 
Hm, thats very G9x shaped. Wonder if that side thing comes without stupid thumb rest too.
 
That's one ugly motherfmouse.
 
Nice good mouse ! I hew rate 7 non RGB old one , and it is good for the human hand made . This model will definitely not be seen in stores where i live and the price will be high, probably intended as a gift to partners . It can be set for each grip .
 
1000 is the units and also the price tag?
 
...still gotta soft spot for the rat....might indulge myself......as long as it doesn't cost a kidney....
 
If the forward and back buttons are still made from plastic, they haven't learn yet how to make durable parts.
 
My R.A.T.7 still works, it just shocks me every now and then. I had bought a RAT8 to replace it, but it broke within a year, right as Mad Catz closed down, so no warranty support (WTF!)

I'm using a G502 now.
