Mad Catz, a global provider of chachkes and controllers you give to friends when they come over, today announced that it has begun shipping its new and improved range of RAT gaming mice to retail.

Announced in August 2016, the entirely upgraded line of RAT mice — theRAT¹, RAT⁴, RAT⁶, RAT⁸ RAT^{PRO S+}, and RAT ^{PRO X+} — includes newly-installed sensors to improve the overall performance of user commands, including faster reaction times, new button configurations designed to better engage in game play and further enhance the feel and comfort of each mouse, and other new features including a bold new color scheme.  Additionally, mice in the new RAT line include:

• Dynamic Ergonomics — Various adjustments and customizations of key mouse components designed to accommodate different hand shapes and grip styles and improve the gaming experience and overall comfort of play.
• Kameleon RGB Technology — Integrated intelligent lighting provides multiple illumination zones enabling users to select up to 16.8 million color variations and apply various illumination effects.
• FLUX Software Interface — Integrated software enables users to quickly and intuitively tune all aspects of the sensor, macro buttons, and RGB LEDs to meet their specific needs.

“The steady increment of features and performance throughout the new range, from the RAT¹ all the way to the RAT ^{PRO X+}, provides gamers and enthusiasts of all levels a choice of peripherals to match the level and overall sophistication of their gaming rig,” said Andrew Young, Chief Technology Officer of Mad Catz.

“Whether it’s button switch life, sensor capability, programmable features, on-board memory or RGB lighting, the new range of RAT products proudly continues Mad Catz’ tradition of bringing together the best materials and components, highest level of engineering and latest technologies to deliver the key features, precision and customization that gamers seek.”

The enhanced RAT¹, RAT⁴, RAT⁶, and RAT⁸ are now available for purchase, and the RAT^{PRO S+} and RAT ^{PRO X+} are expected to ship sometime in early 2017.
