Mad Catz - R.A.T. 6+

Current mice are all the same boring concepts; safe, but boring. Bring back fun mice and crazy shapes. I love stuff like the Redragon M908. Roccat Swarm randomly telling me I've clicked 1000 times and scaring the shit out of me? Bring it on! The Mad Catz Bat 6+ looks like an old school batmobile and I love it! I used to have a small collection of super gimmicky mice that I loved. Now it's like "well this one's .3mm taller and 2grams heavier." YAWN! Give me the old WoW Cataclysm SteelSeries MMO mouse with 3 different left and right clicks, a pinky rest, a ring finger button and 5 thumb buttons!

Fellow massive hand here, I use a Rat6+ as you can adjust the length and weight to fit your hand!

No one will suggest Corsair because the QC is bad and it's a brand people have decided to be elitist against (partly because most of the mice are heavy), but Corsair M65 maybe. There's also the Mad Catz R.A.T. 6+, but no optical switches. If looking for flat sides and maybe not short length, there are also the Corsair Glaive and Ironwolf, but again no optical switches. And the ROG Gladius II, which is hotswap (easily replaceable switches for when they break), but you already dismissed that option earlier. If you are strong, maybe the weight will bother you less.

An Ironclaw is probably your best bet, but the finish tends to wear excessively fast and some issues with scroll wheels have been reported. I'm in a similar boat. I have a g502 Lightspeed, and while I am fine with the thumb button placements, I find my pinky and ring finger feel too cramped. The only mice I've ever used that felt spacious enough were the R.A.T. series. The R.A.T. 3 was the first (and best) of the series I owned. Bought it well over 20 years ago. My brother uses it on his rig this very day. I eventually got a R.A.T. 9, but the sensor was awful, frequent disconnects, etc. A few years later they were bought up and the new series released (even numbers instead of odd). I got a R.A.T 6 and a R.A.T. 8. They were both awful and suffered from the side buttons failing after 3-6 months. Ergonomically, they were great, but their QC sucked ass and killed the company. There are also vertical mice, or perhaps an Elecom trackball mouse. Those are fucking huge. Elecom is sort of iffy. Really everything is.

If you want something that's actually able to be adjusted to your hand, check out the MAD CATZ 8+ or 6+ if you want one slightly less $

If you like comfort and pinkie / thumb rests, RAT 6+ , 8+ something like that would be a big improvement for big handed people like u (adjustable and swappable parts = big improvement) , hit me up in DMs, maybe I can find u a coupon or something to welcome you to the Mad Catz FAM!

Oh! I have this problem. My hands are small and every mouse is too big. Especially the one that is always recommended by everyone. The Logitech G502. Gives me cramps. People call it small and sure, it is short, but it is so tall! I recommend an infamous brand... the MadCatz Rat series. They are adjustable, both in height, length, weight and sometimes width. It is the only mice that doesn't feel too big for me. The build quality isn't that great, but the R.A.T. 6+ or 8+ are good. Avoid the others. And don't let the appearance scare you. It supports your hand in all the right places.

Surprised no one suggested the Logitec G502. But I am glad no one has, because while it is short, it is very tall and it gives my (17cm) hands cramps. The only MMO mouse I can recommend to people with small hands is the MadCatz MMO7. It has adjustable parts. You can adjust the width, height and length of the mouse, as well as the weight. It doesn't look comfortable to hold, but it is very clever with its design. It supports you in every place that needs it, and the buttons aren't just a numpad, but are instead spread out across the mouse so there is no chance of accidentally misclicking. Build quality isn't amazing though and the price is quite high, so if you can handle only a little fewer buttons, I recommend the MadCatz Rat6, which has very good build quality. It has left and right mouse button and a mousehweel like all mice. But it also has a sideways mousewheel, and 5 extra customizable buttons.

Gonna sound weird, but the Mad Catz RAT 6+. They have a bad reputation for their controllers, but their RAT 5, 6, and 8 line are impeccable. They look weird, but they are extremely ergonomic. They are the only mice small enough to fit my hands. They are very customizable, and you can adjust the height, width, and length of the mouse, as well as weight (though they are relatively heavy compared to most modern mice). **I used to use a Logitech G502 after recommendation for a small mouse, but while it is short, it is kinda tall, and it gave me horrible cramps that made me refund it after two weeks. My hand hurt for about half a year afterwards.** ​ Also strongly advise against Razer after I sent in a broken laptop and they tried to scam me by sending me a different model instead of fixing my old one. They didn't even try and give me a laptop of the same model. I had a 4k laptop and they tried sending me a 1080p laptop. i has cat https://preview.redd.it/gu1843dp8ope1.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=d31495b099e06cf4dd9301654b22e72de7888487

The Mad Catz + series is newer and has better sensors. In line with the G502 series, though with higher maximum polling rate. I wouldn't put too much stock in peripherals in competitive games. While having a decent mouse and keyboard is preferred, my brother got to top 500 (number 52 in Europe) in Overwatch with an old mouse from around 2013. I posted on their social media and reddit, and they just directed me to their DMs then ghosted me. I didn't reach out to Gamer's nexus. Didn't know about them back when it happened 3 years ago.

The MadCatz RAT series. Beware it makes it hard to switch back to any other mouse. I’ve used them for 12ish years and I can’t switch. I’ve tried multiple times, but I always go back. People apparently don’t like them, but I love them. Over 12 years I’ve only had to buy 4.

I love these mice, been using them for the past 10 or 15 years, had to replace them a few times due to the wheel/center click giving out, but never going back.

Logitech G502 or Madcatz RAT. I also have big hands. Those are my go to mice

Buy a madcatz rat mouse,they are adjustable

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.

Try the Mad Katz RAT series. It is the only mouse that fits comfortably in my hand.

Man did I love the rat. The extra buttons on the mouse buttons were a game changer for me. Now I just reprogram the dpi buttons on my logitech mouse to do the same things. Not the same tho.

Jokes on you. But the R.A T. Is a mouse with many options to adapt to the Hand.

Try an Ironclaw. Kone or look for a good R.A.T. you habe many options with those to Adapter them for you Hand.

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

Mad Catz R.A.T, old people know of this mouse, very customizable, can expand to fit the hands of fkn giants.
