the companies been bancrupt and brought back a couple times I had the Rat DWS which was their first from the recent time it was bought and honestly not impressed especially compared to old models like the RAT3 and the 9

Ah yes you was how I was then! I had the mad catz rat3 and it lasted me until december 2021 when I got the DWS. Difference is I never had a problem with the rat3 and now in 3.5 years the DWS is broke because of shoddy craftsmanship of the new company :(

RAT DWS, but a bit heavier than you want, but it's sick!

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

Hey! for the office you want productivity and comfort, both are achieved with MMO 7+ or RAT DWS. Both have swappable and adjustable parts which will make finding a more comfortable position much easier for you, and having the ability to adjust it later (after you buy a mouse- rather than guessing before you buy) is a huge advantage. For 14 buttons and BT, go RAT DWS, for 21 x 2 =42 programmable inputs and an innovative 5D button go for the MMO 7+ just out this year.

GLHF!

Consider the MMO 7+ or RAT DWS if you want button power, I played Apex for 5000 + hours (Valk Main) and having extra buttons > lighter in my opinion. I was destroying with that 5D button. Anyway, up to u. Especially Apex, more abilities more quickly can make the difference between victory and a rage quit :)

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

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.
