The R.A.T baby, I also have larger hands and it’s one of the most modular and most reliable mice i’ve ever used. I got a newer one two years ago or so but my last rat8 is still in use by another gamer and is probably 6yo by now and going strong
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->went through 5x rat 7 i need that corpus but the innards are trash. the thing that powers the lazer sucks bawls rat8 chinese reboot of british rats worked for 1 day and then lazer started to turn off at random intervals. so you draw circles and they miss random pieces swiftpoint as a micro company their software is terrible and dangerous to pc unless you how to fix it through bios. and it has drivers on the server that is down because they are tiny elecom is barbie size. like baby girl sized. bought it online, on a picture it looked normal proportions. about 15 logitechs all start to double click then tripple click roccat arrived dead and was an arse to return and refund. chose because they keyboard served me for 5+ years until it started to die recently steel series worked for like 1,5-2 years and started to multiclick like logitechs. costed a ton of money. like a month or two worth of food. ~5-8 a4tech their finish peels hard. they are just shoddy but some can survive for several years. some can die faster with multiclicks or dying buttons. lottery. 5x garisons i love the GM-740G corpus despite it being a joke. if they didn't create it but stole it i wish i had the original. but it's made of garbage plastic. the MMB just breaks. some even arrive broken. defender is already a rattly one but uses the same buttons as everyone, so after some time starts to multiclick genius cheap mice so it's random when they break and how. razer got deathadder and after like 2-2,5 weeks mmb stopped working right now after these amazing adventures i gave up and bought razer naga trinity which costed a half of my monthly salary. about one year and all the paint peeled from the buttons ahhahahahah. and two cheap acers even if one breaks i have the second one. so far they are alive but i barely use them only one of them i connect to my phone together with keyboard. + wireless (xiao?)mi that i got as a gift with a laptop. so far works i wish i could try super fat logitech (and see its buttons fail like always) and corsair m65 but you can't buy those two for years
r/aoe4 • What mouse and keyboard do y'all use? Thinking of getting the g915x, no idea which mouse. ->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.
r/MouseReview • In need of a mouse that fits big/long hands. ->me with 21 / 12 the only one i could find big enough and comfortable is the Delux m618plus a825. build quality is kinda ruff, but RGB is good and comfort is out of this world. From normal mouses the thermaltake level 10, razer deathadder (first edition), razer gladius 2 origin and the absolute top is the R.A.T 8+ (absolute shit when it comes to quality, mouse 4 died after 100 clicks)
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->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.
r/MouseReview • In need of a mouse that fits big/long hands. ->Logitech G502 or Madcatz RAT. I also have big hands. Those are my go to mice
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->Buy a madcatz rat mouse,they are adjustable
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->After I discovered the R.A.T in 2016, I've never went back. Currently using the 8+
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->I like the weight of the RAT, no way would I go for a light version.
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->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.
r/MouseReview • This is the best mouse for large(r) hands? FML, what should I get instead? ->RAT 8+ or 8+ ADV - depending on where u live, might be able to find a code for u or s'ting. DM if u want!
r/MouseReview • Is there an ergonomic gaming mouse that fits my grip? (Budget: around 30 USD) ->I might be able to gift you a new mousepad too, hit me up.
r/MouseReview • Is there an ergonomic gaming mouse that fits my grip? (Budget: around 30 USD) ->Hey bro, I am normally on here trying to recommend the RAT 8+ to people with large or wide hands. Not my job per se, but I like to help out the community. I think your hands might be not suited to any of the typical 'one size fits all' mice that are available on the market. What you might consider is checking out the RAT 8+ ADV or 8+ because of the feature of a swappable / replaceable palm rest. It basically can be slid all the way back to provide more comfortable palm positioning for your hand. IF that's not sufficient, at least you could have the option of modifying that piece with the help of a 3d printing hobbyist and making it even longer / higher.. then re attaching the palm rest to the mouse - might be perfect. Alternatively, BAT 6+ would be easy to customize as well. https://preview.redd.it/6in4nlrrcybf1.png?width=700&format=png&auto=webp&s=decd9e28ff95b5241d0edd50ca96c6fb96986d2e
r/pcmasterrace • My 25cm Slenderman appendage next to the biggest gaming mouse - I need recommendations for a trackball with MacOS driver support. ->Just coming here to say that.. RAT 8+ or 8+ ADV would do the trick. ;)
r/MouseReview • I feel like every single mice is too small ->RAT 8+ or 8+ ADV. Don't believe the 'one size fits all" mice will ever work... u need to be able to adjust the size to fit your hand.
r/MouseReview • Need Mouse Recs For Big Hand Palm Grip ->BAT 6+ is symmetrical and has attachments included to adjust to your desired grip. If you want something amazingly customizable, go for the RAT 8+ ADV 8+ but it's not symmetrical. 1000 mice in one!
r/MouseReview • Looking for a LARGE wireless mouse for palm grip. ->You can adjust the weight to five different levels. You can adjust the thumb in two dimensions (on two axes) N, S, E, W. You can adjust the palm rest in 4 positions, and also swap out the palm rest with two other versions one higher (taller) and one a different non-slip material. Here's the best part imo: swappable pinkie rests. The "L" shaped pinkie rest is so essential to me. I love it. Solves two problems, first, no more dragging the pinkie / ring finger on the pad and also the movement of the mouse backwards becomes so much easier with that pinkie rest attached. If you add up and multiply all the permutations of possible positions, it's thousands of mice in one. Granular adjustments are essential! It's why our RAT 8+ and ADV are best sellers, they are selling out like crazy. We can't keep them in stock!
r/MMORPG • Playing with an MMO mouse ->You are exactly why we make the RAT 8+ adjustable with swappable parts, you'll never fit single shape mice perfectly, as they are made for an idealized, hypothetical, 'every man' who simply - doesn't exist.
r/MouseReview • Mouse recommendations for 18x11cm hands ->RAT 8+ or 8+ ADV. At least you'll have something with swappable parts is actually adjustable to your hand! GLHF
r/MouseReview • Gaming mouse for big hands? ->beyond a doubt, RAT series from Mad Catz, only things that actually adjust to you . Everything else is fake ergonomics.
r/MouseReview • What the best gaming mouse for big hands? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
