Mad Catz R.A.T. 2+

The Mad Catz R.A.T. 2+ is a good FPS gaming mouse, but it has high click latency. Its rubber cable isn't very flexible, and its mouse feet don't glide as smoothly as most gaming mice. Also, the plastic surfaces that make up the body feel cheap and pliable. That said, it's well suited for all grip types, but only for small and medium-sized hands. It has a low lift-off distance, a reasonably wide CPI range, and a CPI you can adjust by increments of 100. Unfortunately, the sensor on our unit is very inaccurate. It undershoots the set CPI substantially during slow and fast cursor movements.
