RAT 8+ will adjust to your hand, swappable palm / pinkie rests too. You're above average, you deserve an above average device. Mice are for boys, RATs are for men... DM if you have any questions.

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!

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.

RAT 8+ adjusts to your hand and has swappable parts, no single size mouse is going to be ideal for you. dm if you need any more help.

RAT 8+ is the only thing that u can actually adjust and has swappable parts to make sure you're getting a fit that suits you. Everything else you're locked into one size, shape ...

There is no better recommendation for your unique situation than the RAT 8+ or MMO 7+ they come with adjustable parts, and also spare / swappable parts so you can make them wider (adjustable thumb rest and also attach a pinkie rest - RAT 8+ ) sounds like they were made for you!

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

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

I know this post is two months old, but I found it as I was looking for a similar mouse. I use the Mad Katz RAT8+, and it is absolutely great. My only complaint is there are only two thumb buttons. I just want two more...

Honestly not sure if they still sell them but mad catz used to sell a mouse with a palm rest you could extend to make the mouse longer. Used one for years. https://a.co/d/gPzVAC9

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
