Mad Catz® R.A.T. PRO X™ Ultimate Gaming Mouse for PC

Product Description

Game Changer (A Mouse You Can Truly Make Your Own.)

Changing the Game… Again

R.A.T.^{PRO X} heralds a new generation in high-performance adjustable gaming mice. Easily switchable components mean R.A.T.^{PRO X} might just be the last gaming mouse you'll ever need.

Future-Proof Your Game

As technology advances, your mouse can now advance alongside it. R.A.T.^{PRO X} offers your choice of optical and laser sensors, each with memory for up to 9 profiles. And when a new sensor comes along, you can simply swap-in a new module.

Our new magnesium alloy chassis is nimble yet incredibly strong. Plus, you can trade or adjust just about everything that comes in contact with your hand. We analyzed every single aspect of what makes a great gaming mouse. We then assembled one that's all but guaranteed to elevate your rank on the leaderboards.

Reinventing the (Scroll) Wheel

We didn't just redesign the scroll wheel, we created an all-new system. Conventional scroll wheels use mechanics, but our revolutionary system uses optics. This empowers you to precisely calibrate tension and speed, and even swap out the wheel itself.

Ergonomics and quicker response times are at the heart of this new setup. We include a set of three wheels with varying materials and dimensions. You can manually adjust their click-force to your liking, from free-wheeling to heavy click and everything in between. And, since the wheel resides on an easy-to-access swing-arm, you can quickly trade for one that best suits your
play style.

Switching and calibrating wheels is fantastic, but the innovation doesn’t stop there. The standout upgrade – a world’s first! – consists of two words: analog strafe. Because the entire scroll wheel mechanism and optical encoder harmonize as one unit, the wheel can pivot independently from the rest of the mouse! It doesn’t merely click when pressed left or right. Better still, it emulates a controller’s analog stick.

The wheel can pivot side-to-side to give you an extra, fully analog axis. Another axis opens up the possibility of ‘peeking’ out from behind cover, or even circle-strafing enemies. And in space sims that use an additional rotation axis, you can navigate your ship with perfect analog precision. This breakthrough control method gives you a distinct advantage over the competition – something you’ll find only on R.A.T.^{PRO X}.

Various sensors cater to different games and styles of play. Rather than dictate your mouse's sensor, we let you choose between one of three different models with your purchase. As your play style changes or new sensors become available, you can upgrade just the sensor. This makes R.A.T.^{PRO X} essentially futureproof.

A button at the sensor's base quickly cycles through up to 9 profiles you've set to the onboard memory. And courtesy of a handy LED, you can quickly see which profile you're using.

R.A.T.^{PRO X} gives you the flexibility to use different sensors in your mouse. But, choosing one doesn't need to be a difficult process. Let's look at the traits of the first wave of sensors and why you'd pick one over the other.

LASER – For Real Tech-Heads Seeking Ample Configurability

• True 8200 DPI—More than covers you, even with a 4K monitor. No trickery, either. You’ll always know you’re getting 100% accurate tracking and genuine data.


• Rotational Angle Adjustment—If your grip slightly twists the mouse when you move your hand horizontally, the onscreen response will be slightly angled. Rotational adjustment accounts for this by allowing you to alter the X and Y axes’ alignment.


• Automatic Surface Calibration—Measures the surface quality to achieve optimum performance. Switch to manual calibration to fine-tune tracking.


• Adjustable Lift-Off Height—1mm down to 0.2mm. Lower settings help prevent accidental input after lifting the mouse. Also caters to those who prefer the feel of higher lift-off.


• Sensor Damping—Tunes out ultra-low sensor deviations (vibration, mouse surface warping) to prevent unwanted cursor input.

LASER – For Gamers Seeking Known Performance Quality

• True 8200 DPI—More than covers you, even with a 4K monitor. No trickery, either. You’ll always know you’re getting 100% accurate tracking and genuine data.


• Adjustable Lift-Off Height—3mm down to 0.3mm. Lower settings help prevent accidental input after lifting the mouse. Also caters to those who prefer the feel of higher lift-off.


• Angle Snapping—Helps you draw straight lines in image editing programs. Prefer your input genuine and uncorrected? Simply disable this feature.

OPTICAL – For Old-School Gamers Seeking the Best Optical Sensor

• True 5000 DPI—Provides genuine data and 100% accurate tracking, without interpolation or firmware tricks.


• Rotational Angle Adjustment—If your grip slightly twists the mouse when you move your hand horizontally, the onscreen response will be slightly angled. Rotational adjustment accounts for this by allowing you to alter the X and Y axes’ alignment.


• Angle Snapping—Helps you draw straight lines in image editing programs. Prefer your input genuine and uncorrected? Simply disable this feature.

Perfect Your Grip

Adjustability in the palm of your hand is part of what defines a R.A.T. Without the means to customize and truly make it your own, it'd be just another gaming mouse. The palm rests on almost every R.A.T. let you make lateral and vertical adjustments. Hungry for more, we gave R.A.T.PRO X yet another way to adapt to your grip. Now you can rotate your palm rests – from 0-15 degrees – along the core axis.

Rotate And Swap Your Palm Rest

Although powerful, the means to twist your palm rests is only one piece of an ergonomic puzzle. Interchangeable pinkie grips and thumb rests not only fight fatigue, they let you dial-in your grip until the mouse feels like a natural extension of your hand. You get three different palm rests, two thumb wings, and three pinkie rests. You also get the benefit of being able to comfortably shift hand positions during prolonged matches.

Slide like a PRO

Customization goes from top to bottom, and our PST is the final layer. Pro Slide Technology gives you a choice in how quickly the mouse glides across your mouse pad. This doesn't just let you choose between fast or slow, it lets the mouse adapt to the surface it's on. Of course, this includes Mad Catz’ very own G.L.I.D.E.TE mouse pad.

Ceramic Or Teflon Feet

We liken this technology to swapping tires on a car, only much easier to change. Different seasons and road conditions call for different levels of traction. And the same goes for mouse pads. Use either ceramic or Teflon feet to vary the way your mouse stops, starts, and handles. All for the sake of increased accuracy on whatever surface you prefer.

Key Ingredients

From it's dramatic looks to its customizable profile and bleeding edge performance, the RAT^{PRO X} is precise and fine-tuned gaming mouse. We found the best materials for every component, each designed to enhance speed and longevity.

We improved agility with a magnesium alloy chassis that’s lighter and stronger than any we’ve ever made before. Titanium screw fittings and a carbon fiber thumb-plate further reinforce the mouse. Now you can change direction quicker than ever with confidence. Superhydrophobic coatings help keep your hand dry in the heat of battle. That means less chance of one little slip costing you a match. And with magnesium alloy on the primary buttons, you get quicker, more reliable actuation.

Swift yet strong, comfortable, and deeply customizable, R.A.T.^{PRO X} exists to make you a better gamer.
