All that said. I spammed a few dozen rapid clicks through it and it cleaned up. The mouse glides like it is held aloft by cherubs dancing over clouds. You can adjust this so many ways, that if you cant find a way to make it comfortable, then you are probably using the wrong hand... Once you get spoiled by this thing you never want to use anything else. I do use an elecom trackball, but only for web and mundane tasks otherwise the rat gets called into service.
The LED lighting is pretty standard fare, 3 zone color, with effects linked across zones. It's a bit of a clunky interface as you can't copy colors, but whatever, how often do you really change them anyway?
DPI is insane. Also has a surface/lift detection setting that helps calibrate for different surfaces. Overall, this is a step up from previous versions. Way better than razer stuff...
If you want to experience the pinnacle in ergonomic adjustability get this mouse and you will never go back.
I have owned and used this mouse for a little over a month now and I cannot stress enough, this mouse is AMAZING.
Don't like the side rests? Change it. Don't like the weight? Change it. Don't like the LEDs? Change it. Don't like the palm rest height? Change it.
See the pattern? Everything about this mouse is absolutely, 100%, customizable which makes its ergonomics second to none as you can form it to fit your hand no matter how big or small your hands may be. This mouse is one of the heavier mice available, second only to the ASUS Spatha, personally, I think this is a major plus as I came from the old Logitech wireless mice that took AA batteries years ago. If you do not like that weight though, you can remove weights from the mouse to give it a lighter feel.
The DPI selection buttons on this mouse are one of the best designs I have seen on a high-end gaming mouse, bare in mind, I have used them all. The Logitechs, the ASUS Spatha, the Corsair's, the Razer's, even some off the wall names that make customizable mice, this R.A.T 8+ mouse is absolutely the best of all of them. The customization is second to none, the materials are absolutely the highest quality that I have ever felt in my hand. The ability to change all of the laser's settings makes lift-off height a non-issue. The clicks are satisfying and the, "Sniper," button on the left thumb rest is extremely useful and very well placed.
The details on this mouse also set it apart from the competition and add a very cool look to it. The reinforced metal body of the mouse also provides confidence that I could throw this thing across the room and into the wall and full force and there not be a scratch on it, it is absolutely RAGE PROOF. It also comes with an alan key built into the back end of the mouse in order to change out the pieces quickly and easily which is probably my favorite feature.
The software is also very easy to use and allows you to customize each individual LED light and make sure that they are the colors that you want and also offers some cool lighting modes.
In summary, I LOVE THIS AMAZING MOUSE AND RECOMMEND IT OVER EVERYTHING OUT THERE 15/10 WOULD BUY AGAIN!
Not only is this mouse the most comfortable ive ever had (due to customizability) but also the best looking by far!
Madcatz program is also straight forward and allows remapping/dip swapping/custom profiles/color control etc.
Overall this is a very slept on mouse. Currently playing The Finals with it and couldnt be happier.

Reviewed in Mexico on March 1, 2024
This thing looks rather weird but it truly performs well. you can adjust it very easily. I added some gaffer tape on it cuz the shinny finish is a bit slippery which does not help the look . It's the only thing. But nothing is perfect. Not cheap but will last
From an aesthetic standpoint, it is possibly the best looking mouse ever mass produced
Lots of cool buttons on it that I'm sure could be useful
Overall very well designed.The reviews here turned me off but I pulled the trigger anyways and I'm glad I did
