Mad Catz R.A.T 8 Adv Gaming Mouse Review

Up Close – Adjustability

Even without the weights the R.A.T 8 Adv isn’t the lightest mouse on the market, but if you prefer something with a little more junk in the trunk then it definitely will keep you happy, and the three weights are easy to remove by unscrewing the spring at the back. It’s a very easy mouse to tune to your liking.

  

There are three different palm rests included with the R.A.T 8 Adv and they are all capable of sitting very far back as well as abutting the middle of the mouse.

  

The textured one…

  

And a taller one for those of you who have more of a claw style grip.

  

There are three side panels if you include the default one. Thanks to some carefully designed mounting holes and pins they are easy to locate and lock in place before screwing them in using the included hex key.

  

One that matches the left hand side ‘shelf’ setup.

  

And a textured one to match the palm rest.
