Mad Catz The Authentic R.A.T. 6+ Optical Gaming Mouse, Black

I had a Rat 3+ that no matter what, I always found myself returning to, even after breaking and super gluing it back together numerous times. This mouse is great! For whatever reason, my wrist does not hurt when using this mouse or while using the previous 3+. Maybe it is due to the thumb and pinky finger being a little more relaxed while using it? The option to change the weight of the mouse is pretty cool. I ended up taking out one of the weights and found that perfect. Last, the response time and accuracy of the mouse is superb! If you are shopping around, I'd say look no further. You will not be disappointed!

I'm not a bit gamer any more. But, I'm used to the feel of my old RAT8+ which started having trouble with the mouse wheel (not always registering when I tried to scroll). I tried a "regular" mouse for a bit and it just didn't feel right. So, I purchased the RAT6+. It feels almost identical to my old RAT8+ which is awesome! I don't use any of the advances features any more. But, my hand is happy with something familiar. Note: I was concerned the mouse might have gone down in quality since the original company folded and a new company started making them. But, it appears that the quality is still high with the latest versions as well.

From what i read on the internet, this mouse has had an issue of freezing up for a while and no one has resolved it. Like the past 7 years. Also tech support will not help unless you send a video of it freezing up. Which is weird and impossible. There are no instructions. There are no howto documents. but there are several warning labels bout hazards. No idea why they still sell this. Other than the annoying constant freeze up, it is a neat mouse. but reminds me of the days of massive lag. ***Solution to the freeze up*** Install the companion software, change the light setting to black. It uses less electricity, thus stops it from freezing up. 5 stars. would be six if I didn't have to turn stuff off.

What more can I say? This is a legendary device, and it's back in all its glory. There are a couple of caveats that don't affect the rating, because they are subjective and specific to my case: 1) I don't care much for RGB, and it's not entirely obvious how to disable it without their software (I'm on Linux so no dice there – but maybe there's a bit I can set or something...), and 2) compared to the original run, the precision button on the far left works differently: it used to send a button press that was interpreted by the software, and now it momentarily changes the DPI on the mouse itself. While the new way is actually more reliable, the old way could be used to tie a different function to that button.

This mouse is phenomenal, as it is very heavy but well shaped. The finger rests fit my large-ish hands well and the software, though elusive and hard to find, is sufficient and does a good job at explaining functions. the rgb is bright but not distracting, and the mouse itself has good feel. One thing I would like to point out is that the left click and right click are two separate panels from the body, which makes clicking more precise. The sniper button is well placed, and the dpi buttons are easily pressed if intended to. They are positioned in such a way that you have to use your entire finger to press them, not the side of your finger. The second scroller on the back is great for pausing music or difficult commands when you are running a heavy game, like task manager. I would highly recommend this mouse for large palmed people.

They advertise it with add ons like extra finger rests and other pieces.... you get none of that. Haven't actually tried the mouse yet but it seems to be functional with the audible clicks. I'll update the review once I try it out for a few days.

I loved my very old RAT 7 which was giving up the ghost, but did not want to splurge on the new RAT 8+. I am happy to say that the elevated palm rest and the pinky rest/grip from my old RAT 7 fit right on this RAT 6+! The pinky rest/grip was the best thing ever invented for a mouse. The only thing I don't have with the RAT 6+ that I had with the RAT7 is the hinged, movable thumb rest, no big deal.

I've tried many mice, and this is the best for my criteria. durability, precision, and construction high quality. the looks are not what attracted me, but not important to me. tried several logitech, corsair, and finally found something that consistently works, performance and high quality build.

encaixe perfeito na mão!

Been looking at these for over ten years now, mainly because of its looks since I had never even seen one irl let alone held one. Got the chance to buy a R.A.T 6+ recently and even though the I.P is owned by another company now it hasn't disappointed. Looks awesome even in person imo yet asides from the looks with the adjustable palm rest it feels the right size in my large hands, something every other mouse i have ever owned has lacked. The position of the thumb rest is just right and has enough area for my thumb also the back and forward buttons don't protrude. The sniper button does protrude, i'm aware of it yet is firm enough to not accidentally press. Scroll wheel seems robust as well. It does have adjustable weights which are already in the mouse when bought and has a screw in mechanism from the rear of the mouse (Rear engined?) yet is heavy enough for me and I like a heavy mouse. Fantastic accuracy as well when testing I could look away from the screen and still be accurate with where the cursor would end up. If I could pick something out that isn't up to scratch about the 6+ is the adjustable palm button you hold down to unlock the palm rest, it does not seem sturdy yet hopefully it doesn't need to be used very often and maybe just maybe the top frame which is plastic may be susceptible to damage. My most comfortable mouse yet and i've owned Corsair and Roccat in the past. I HIGHLY recommend!

Excellent mouse, nothing to complain about. The side scroll is the best function which is typically absent in other mice.

Benutze diese Maus schon ewig ist ihren Stolzen Preis wert und ich mag sie lieber wie diese RAZER Mäuse die mir zu Klobig und unhandlich sind und mit ihrem Stecksystem nicht mal annähernd an diese wunderhübsche Maus rankämen wurden. 5 Sterne Premium Gamermaus

Anteriormente había usado un 9+ y me encantó, desgraciadamente las baterías dijeron hasta aquí y no pude conseguir ningún sustituto. Los materiales del 6+ se sienten de menos calidad, así como la construcción en general, sin embargo, funciona de maravilla y tiene la ventaja de ser USB. En general muy satisfecho con la compra.
