Super smooth glide ; Adjustable in weight and length ; Good price

No swappable palm rests

All the R.A.T.s have a cool look and great ergonomics: the buttons and wheel are perfectly placed and (if not, depending on the model) you can adjust the hardware and software until they are. Plus, the aesthetics are hard core sci-fi. I use these more...

The fail rate is high. I've had a RAT9 that would periodically lose tracking on the Y axis, and all tracking on certain gaming mousepads. I've had two RAT3 left mouse button fail in less than a year of office (non-gaming) work (the first was replaced...

Big Mouse: this is a pro because I have big hands and have what is called a "palm grip". I can't stand other mice where I have to arch my hand in a certain position for long periods of time for "optimum performance ; Adjustable Weight: The adjustable...

Now for the dreaded cons ; Every con I have for this mouse is superficial. It doesn't take away from the mouse at all and is more of a slight annoyance that you would only really notice if you like to be super clean. The material the mouse is made of...

While the mouse is adjustable, i could never get it to fit in my hand quite right. It looks great, and has a good balance to it, but it was still incredibly awkward and often would shock me. Adjustable only to fitting a certain hand type which wasn't...

Constant weird mouse drift. The mouse seemed to have a mind of its own a lot and where it was going to go and how it was going to behave. The top and bottom side back and forward buttons were in almost impossible to use place for my hand. Couldn't find...

It is a nice sensative mouse, but a bit on the expensive side

For the price I expected it to last longer than 15 months. Sensor failure ; Besides the price, I'm a linux user and I had a few issues with it out of the box

multiple buttons

price

I'm recently bought this after my G500 broke. Works pretty well so far as you would expect from a $50+ worth of equipment. The laser is solid, very precise and the traction is smooth as well

The grip took some getting used to because as you extend the adjustable palm rest, it kind of rises up against your palm and it gets uncomfortable ; The side scroll controller does not work. I've read other MadCatz mouse reviews that complain about...

match the mouse to ur playing style. lots of set up options overall a good feel. + or - weight if un like heavy or light mouse. braided cable. that about it. o ya u get a tin to but ur leftover parts in

First off the position of the left and right clickers are a bit long so when u have to switch from the clikers to the wheel its a bit awkward because its too far back. Also the teflon pads dont slide like a high end mouse should they almost feel like...

Feels good and looks good

Does not work correctly and the worst customer service
