MAD CATZ RAT 6+ Gaming Mouse Black

Love this mouse so much. Comfortable, smooth scrolling and easy to set profiles that are colour coded by the light on the mouse make it easy to use. The free software download lets you program your buttons and speeds how you like with a total of 4 profiles which are stored on the mouse. Adjustable sensitivity etc also has 4 programmable settings per profile.

Has a really nice weight to it which makes it nice to move around. The only downside is the software which still looks like it was made by a design team and has very limited functionality. I have actually crashed out the mouse due to this (motion worked but no buttons registered). The few things you can do with the software is really nice quality of life stuff though like auto-clicker and basic macros which I fo use often.

Finds this a great asset to his gaming and blender

I had a RAT 5 a few years ago, and I was devastated the day it stopped working as Mad Catz (then owned by Cyborg) - had ceased to exist as a company, and you couldn't get this mouse anywhere. Seeing this on Amazon, I decided to purchase the RAT 6+, which appears to be the same as the RAT 5 under the original Mad Catz brand - first impressions were pretty good, the quality of the mouse wasn't as good as the original RAT 5 (kinda annoying since this mouse is £30 more expensive than the original), however I was willing to accept that since the mouse overall is still comfortable as hell, and the rRAT 5 is to this day, one of my favorite mice. The positives mostly end there I'm afraid. If you are a Windows user, you'll probably find you will have issues with this due to driver conflicts. I have yet to find out what driver is conflicting, but what I can say is that on essentially every Windows machine I have, this mouse works for about 20 minutes before it seems to freeze - you will not be able to use it for about 5 seconds, then it will reconnect. I have tried using this mouse with my Mac and Linux systems, and it works flawlessly, no disconnects. Having discovered this, I decided to try and see if the Mad Catz tool could maybe flash new firmware onto the mouse - nope. The application from their site just plain and simply sucks. I did some research and I'm not the only one experiencing this issue on Windows - a lot of users on Reddit mention the fact that Mad Catz support is also quite disgusting - with this in mind, whilst I can, I've made the decision to return this to Amazon instead of having to deal with Mad Catz directly. I wanted this mouse to be great, and it is actually almost a great mouse, but there are obvious flaws that have not been addressed by Mad Catz, which for the price of this product is unacceptable. I will keep an eye on Mad Catz products and may try a new mouse in the future, but right now, I can't recommend that anyone picks this mouse up if you intend to use it on Windows.

Have used rat mice for years. Slick smooth movement and fully adjustable and programable.

Having a few mice to have use of from razer naga to a vertical mouse... preferred r.a.t 5 (cyborg) for over 8 years. Rat 5 WAS a gaming mouse to put a smile on your face (And not from just the design aspects of it). Teflon pads started to go on the base (Over cleaning it). Got the Rat 6+. The Rat 6 was near enough to the rat 5 as a replacement. HAPPY with it... Having read the reviews on this site (amazon) from other buyers and their negative reviews... I FIRST downloaded the software (INSTALLED IT before I got the mouse)... got an uninstalled *(obit) and removed other mouse driver software. I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS... JUST AS GOOD AS THE RAT 5 WAS... LED off-putting BUT jcan ust turn off if wished!!!

Software is broken, macro programming functionality is only half there - can only program what the press action is, but neither release or hold as advertised as that functionality is completely missing from the software. Checking against software for other mice this manufacturer produces, thse functions are available for all of them so there is a serious oversight here, particularly when this issue, from my google research, has been present since at least mid-2019. Customer service, despite my clearly outlined issue, suggested that the sniper button may be defective, despite the fact that I never mentioned the sniper button at all. Completely useless, doesn't seem like they even read my support ticket at all. If that had been fuctional I would have perhaps been able to overlook the shape, but the palm rest is at a weird angle that is not very ergonomic. and if you want it at its fullest extent then you better totally readjust to push down on the front of the mouse, because otherwise the force on the palm rest at that extension is way past the centre of gravity, so you end up with the sensor raised off the desk. I returned this to Amazon for a refund and will not be purchasing any products again from this company - I suggest you do likewise.

Bought R.A.T 6+. Feels great in the hand. Fits perfectly. RGB effects. Weight and length adjustment. Programmable buttons. I have side wheel set up for volume control. Very accurate and responsive. Software worked as it should. Love it.

El mejor ratón SIEMPRE el que lo prueba ya no quiere otro Mad Catz para mí es la mejor ... La calidad no tiene precio

Perfect product easy to use. Wisselbare onderdelen met de oude m.m.o. madcatz.

Den passar mig perfekt i handen, den är bredare än de flesta möss men det passar mig.

Mouse fantastico, personalmente non sono un gaming on line però mi piacciono questi strumenti tecnologici e belli da guardare con le illuminazioni da impostare con il software per creare colori led personalizzate. Per gli appassionati lo consiglio.

Works well, lots of variable switch functions. Mine is used on multiple remote site locations and the "right click" portion has broken. This is purely due to incorrect storage for transits (in back pack) and the operation is still good. Would definitely recommend.
