In terms of software, which needs to be downloaded from Mad Catz's official website, the offering is a strong if a little basic in terms of user interface. As I mentioned above, these extra piece are included in the box, as too the tool to do so, and it helps add a little bit extra on top in my opinion.

The most notable feature of the Mad Catz R.A.T. DWS to edit some spreadsheets, then use Bluetooth, if you want to game then use the 2.4Ghz connection instead. I'd think of it this way: if you're using the Mad Catz R.A.T. However, the 2.4Ghz is more precise and stable.

The Bluetooth connection is kinder to the battery life of the R.A.T. Gamers are going to want to use the 2.4Ghz connection over the Bluetooth, though. 2.4Ghz connection just requires you to plug in the dongle, while the Bluetooth connection can be enabled simply by opening the Bluetooth options menu on your PC. DWS and can confirm that both took seconds to setup. I tested both connections during testing the Mad Catz R.A.T.

Firstly, the gaming mouse's dual wireless connection switch is visible, which allows the mouse to switch between a low-latency Bluetooth 5.0 connection to a PC and a 2.4Ghz wireless connection, the latter enabled by a small form-factor USB dongle.Īnd, neatly, that USB dongle is actually stored in the R.A.T.

I can confirm that these buttons actuate really strongly, communicating a precise linear travel and rewarding the user with a very audibly pleasing click each time.įlip the R.A.T. These primary buttons make use of Mad Catz' Dakota switches, which are guaranteed for 60 million clicks (good luck hitting that limit!) and deliver a rapid 2ms response time. The scroll wheel, which has a ridged rubberized center, shares this feeling, as too does the R.A.T. This keeps the mouse grounded really well, and imbues it with a sense of premium. DWS feels really solid and well made, with an exposed steel baseplate feeling cool and weighty to the touch. In terms of build quality, though, the Mad Catz R.A.T.

Rotating the rodent reveals not only a smorgasbord of buttons (14 in all), including its famous barrel scroll unit, but also a series of hexagonal screw caps that, when removed, allow the mouse's thumb, palm and pinke rests to be removed and switched up for a different style (which are included in the box). Its profile is really low and flat, too, and thanks to this and its protruding barrel-shaped battery holder cap at the rear, looks like a futuristic starfighter.

DWS price is $119.99, and it releases in February in the United States and March in Europe and the UK. DWS review, though, let's first deal with release date and price. Does this quality extend to its actual performance, though? Let's fine out.īefore we get stuck into this Mad Catz R.A.T. DWS' aesthetic, too, which gives it a blast-from-the-past quality. The general style of gaming mice today in 2021 is also markedly at odds with the R.A.T. line of rodents is long running but, as of late, hasn't been as prominent in the market place. Over the past week I've been putting this wireless and modular rodent through its paces to see if it is worthy of entering T3's prestigious best gaming mouse buying guide, and what follows is my considered take.Īnd, to be honest, I've been intrigued to get hands on with the Mad Catz R.A.T.
