Mad Catz R.A.T.6+ Gaming Mouse Review
Peter Donnell / 5 years ago
The Mad Catz range is something that hasn’t been tested on eTeknix for years now. The company had some issues and fell off the radar for a little while. However, some of the original team managed to grab the business for themselves and brought it back from the brink. Fast forward a few years and they’re FINALLY back on my desk. We kick things off with the R.A.T.6+ and it’s good news for those who loved the original RAT series. They’ve changed very little, just a bit of modernisation of hardware, but the original RAT styling is here, again.
Mad Catz R.A.T.6+ Gaming Mouse
I loved the original RAT mice, they were so unlike anything else out there. Low, wide, mean, adjustable, and overall pretty bloody brilliant. Nothing else out there looks or feels quite like them. Which, makes it all the more awesome that it’s back again. There’s a new sensor, new switches, a touch of modern RGB of course, weight tuning, length adjustment, a sniper button, and more. It’s certainly not short on features!
