Mad Catz is known for their lineup of aggressive-looking mice with several tuning options. Their current flagship model is the RAT 8 I'm going to take a closer look at now.

Packaging
The Mad Catz RAT 8 comes in a relatively small red box. All the features and details about the mouse are on the cardboard sleeve protecting the actual box inside.
When you first open up the box, you'll find the mouse sitting neatly inside. Take out the black cardboard holding the mouse in place and you'll find a package with the manual and warranty and two bags with additional grips, two palm-rest pieces and two side grips. More on that later. All in all, clean packaging here; I like it.
