Steel Series has decided to turn their drivers into a massive marketing portal. You have to create an account on their website and "Log Into" Steel Series in order to use their drivers. Plus they started injecting advertisements onto the desktop. Yeah. Ergo, I am ejecting Steel Series out of my PC. See yah. I found this Mad Catz mouse and it seems to be wide enough (skinny mice give me cramps) and have enough buttons for me, so I ordered it. I'm so sad I didn't upgrade to this mouse long ago. First really really really cool thing about this mouse, is that it doesn't use any special drivers. You read that right. It's automatically seen as a standard HID device by windows. It's hidden super power is that it carries it's configuration and processing on-board the mouse. Not on your PC. Meaning if you moved this to another PC or other device, it will still behave exactly the same. So how it pulls off this trick; It has four profile memory slots. They are: Black, Red, Blue, and purple. There is a dedicated (unmappable) button to toggle through the four profiles. You don't have to use all four profiles if you don't need them. But you can. This is where your configurations live, on the mouse itself. The software that comes with this (download from Mad Catz) is a configuration editor. Now it takes a bit to wrap your head around this, and there are no instructions or help files. *sigh* But here's how it works. The editor has (unlimited?) profiles that you can create or edit. When you get it how you want, you choose which mouse profile you want to "apply" to (Black, Red, Blue, Purple). I find it works best if you manually put the mouse into the profile mode (example "Red"), then create a profile named "Red" in the editor, and apply it to the second slot with the editor. It's sorta janky and it's not explained that the editor itself has profiles, and the mouse has slots, and you can flash any profile to any memory slot on the mouse. It's a little buggy, but once you get it and grasp the concept, the power behind it becomes apparent. The downside of flashing a mouse with a config (or set of configs) is that there is no software running on your PC to auto-select a profile when you boot up a particular game. I have two profiles I use, one for desktop (Black) and one for gaming (Red), my blue and purple profiles aren't used yet. I might find a game someday that need a radically different setup, and I'll use the blue or purple. I won't delve into all the settings and macros you can create and so forth. You can do pretty much any setup that any modern mouse can do. DPI settings, remap buttons, setup a sniping button, assign key combos. It's all there. This is it. The Holy Grail of gaming mice. Better than my old Logitech G700s, better than my Steel Series Rival 500. You can change the weight, the length, the grippiness, it comes with a slew of replaceable grip panels and has a wrench for adjustments built right into the rear. I mean seriously, how has this mouse not set the gaming world on fire? I can only speculate that the lack of documentation means some users can't get a good grasp on it's configuration. The separation of editor with it's profiles and the flashable memory slots on the mouse itself is never explained anywhere. Finally, I've read where someone claimed the mouse had lag, but I've measured it to less than .006 seconds, and since human response time runs around .200 seconds, this isn't factor at all. It's as fast or faster than any mouse I've ever seen. So there you go. That's it. I love this mouse. It's has features no other mouse has, and for less than $100, it's a total steal. Review: Best Mouse I Have Ever Had the Pleasue of Owning - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 11/10!!! 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! ## Features - Multi-button functionality for maximum precision and control: Scroll wheel, Left click, Right click, DPI button, Forward, Backward, Precision button, Profile button - Adjustable DPI up to 16000.

Because it slightly transforms, glows, has lots of pointy bits but won't do anything by itself. You have to handle it. **Q: Is the software also available for Mac?** A: No it is not. **Q: Does anybodies thumb buttons work when playing battlefield or the division 2? mine only work about 25% of the time. but in pubg it works ok.** A: Mine has the front left thumb button break. I think it was aso the plastic pivot point but not sure. **Q: What happened to the side scroll on the Pro X3?** A: I still has the side scroll wheel on mine. Bought it a few months ago. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Currrently - The best game mouse available *by A***R on July 27, 2023* My last mouse was a Steel Series Rival 500.

They are the only ones that fit comfortably in my (rather large) hands. It's the most adjustable mouse on the market & perfect if you can't find a gaming mouse that's comfortable. I love the weights as well, I like a heavy mouse & I added extra weights from my old mouse. The thumb & pinky rests are a game-changer, it's so nice not to be dragging your fingers along while playing. The side-scroll wheel has become indispensable to me. I use it as a volume wheel & having that functionality literally at my fingertips is amazing. The RAT 8+ feels higher quality in basically every way compared to the 7. All the buttons & scroll wheels feel good, the rubberization is so nice on the hand, all the interchangeable parts attach completely solidly. It's a bit on the pricey side, but at least in my case this is the last mouse I'll ever buy, and since the quality is there I have no complaints. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mad Catz R.A.T. 8+ Adjustable Wired Gaming Mouse - 16000 DPI - 11 Programmable Buttons - 4 User Profiles Stored Directly - Customize RGB LED - Additional Palm Rests and Pinky Supports - Black - Corsair K70 RGB PRO Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Cherry MX RGB Red Switches: Linear and Fast, 8,000Hz Hyper-Polling, PBT Double-Shot PRO Keycaps, Soft-Touch Palm Rest) QWERTY, NA - Black - Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, HERO 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weights, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory, PC / Mac --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/109779383-r-a-t-8-adv](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/109779383-r-a-t-8-adv) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
