Mad Catz RAT Pro X review

 

The RAT Pro X earns its acronym, Really Awesome Tech.

Once you finish setting it up, the RAT Pro X plays like any other lightweight gaming mouse. Instead of a crazy high dpi sensor like the Diamondback, or a wealth of button options like the Nyth, the RAT Pro X relies on the fact that once you spend a few...

Mad Catz R.A.T. 8+ review: Back from the dead

 

Mad Catz and its famed R.A.T. mouse return from the ravages of bankruptcy. Is the new R.A.T. worthy of the name, or just a pretender? We went hands-on to find out.

Eminently customizable ; Uses a reliable PMW3389 sensor ; Feels durable

Customization options aren't always intuitive ; Heavy, even with the weights removed ; Hard to know whether Mad Catz peripherals are more reliable nowadays

Overall, it’s a great return to market for Mad Catz, or at least the Mad Catz brand. The mouse isn’t without faults. It’s still a RAT, and bound to be as divisive as ever when it comes to appearance. Dust is a constant struggle as well, since it gets...

Mad Catz R.A.T. Pro X Review — Winning the Rat Race

 

The R.A.T. Pro X wants to be a premium mouse for a hardcore audience, and in that, it succeeds on almost all counts. Weird appearance aside, it's a comfortable product with simple customization options and utility across a wide variety of genres.

Easy, deep customization ; Comfortable feel ; Great in-game performance

Expensive ; Few options for lefties or MMO players

The R.A.T. Pro X may not look pretty, but it's surprisingly comfortable, with incredible customization options.

The Mouse has a very loud squeak coming from it, I know ironic but for the price I paid the noise is very annoying

Mad Catz R.A.T Pro S

 

Feels good in hand, like the button feel and action. Feels solid even though it doesn't look it.

Cannot work out how to get the bottom button to work.

Terrible mouse

 

This is the second product from this company I have been unsatisfied with. And their support ignores my requests.

Tracks horribly. Cursor moves even when the mouse isn't touched. Cursor also inches it's way to the corner of the screen if you click and the mouse is not moving. Very small and uncomfortable to hold. Also did not come with inter changeable lasers....
