I had RAT 5. It was so much fun

Not as good as they used to, but they’re there. OP unironically does need a RAT. They have so much adjustment.

Yeah I had an OG RAT 7 for a couple years and then swapped to one of the newer RAT 5s after they swapped over. The quality went downhill but it was still one of the best mice I’ve used for adjustable ergonomics. Their new stuff isn’t *quite* as good, but it’s worth it if you have huge hands like OP. I have decently large hands and there was still more to give past what I thought was comfortable.

I had the mad catz RAT 7 and Rat 5, they look really beautiful but they really arent great to play. Heavy and not comfortable, still have used it many years

Been using a rat as my daily driver on my personal computer since the first RAT 5 ever released in late 2010, sensor died in 2018, replaced it with a RAT 6+ that got lost during a house move, currently have a RAT8+ and it's literally the perfect mice for me, biggest fear is to not be able to find another when if it dies in years. Life must not be easy on this sub as the trend is flimsy 7 grams shitty cardboard mice but please keep going and making sturdy products that have weights

You could try a Mad Catz R.A.T. Their weight and length are adjustable. I really like them for my big hands.

beyond a doubt, RAT series from Mad Catz, only things that actually adjust to you . Everything else is fake ergonomics.

I had Logitech master. I have big hands. The thumb button got stuck, hard to get loose. Didn't happen with one, my wife had the mx master s2 or something, same problem. I'm using R.A.T. Once you go R.A.T. you never go back.
