Rounding things out there’s a Mode button that switches you between four different profiles, and a DPI button that lets you move up and down between your DPI presets, topping out at 7200 DPI. There’s then two more in-line programmable buttons slightly further up as well, easily in reach. Under your thumb there’s a Precision Aim button holding it down adjusts the mouse sensitivity to slow your cursor speed to a crawl, letting you nail that headshot you were lining up. Alongside expansive left and right click buttons, there’s a chunky scroll wheel that is one of the best-feeling I’ve come across recently, and then an array of additional buttons. The mouse adapts to you, rather than the other way around.īeyond the movable palm rest, there’s a bevy of input options. It’s such a small thing, but being able to customise where your palm sits makes it a lot more comfortable. If you’re a little too adventurous it will even come all the way off, but it will happily go back into place without any fuss.

While most of its components are largely in the place you’d expect them to be, you’ll immediately notice a few interesting differences from your average mouse.įirst up, the palm rest is extendable. The distinctly visible bottom plate is plain translucent plastic, which allows the single-colour LED lighting to shine through – if you don’t liked red, then you’re flat out of luck here – and the rest of the mouse is constructed from an amalgam of glossy and matt black plastic pieces. On closer inspection, it seems like they got so far in designing and building it, and then just decided to call it a day. That is to say it’s not a particularly attractive piece of kit, especially when you first pull it out the box. The RAT 4+ is a mouse that only Mrs RAT could love. They lost everything going all-in on Rock Band 4, but like the phoenix from a pile of plastic flames, they’ve returned and are once again building their name with well-built, top-end gaming gear. Their early days saw them as purveyors of the kind of control pads you always made your friends use, before eventually finding their way to becoming a well respected crafter of arcade sticks and other high quality peripherals. Mad Catz are a company with a tumultuous history.
