The only fail I see is this failure to bash one of the perfect gaming mice on the market lol. When you actually hold the mouse propperly, there is no movement.
It takes 5 seconds to fix, as demonstrated in this video. A mouse designed for customizability isn't going to fit your hand out of the box, they expect that you will change settings and customize it as soon as you open it anyway. Get over it.
What are you smoking dude? I have one of these and find it's one of the flattest mice I ever owned. It's taking some time to find my perfect adjustment for me, but it's the smoothest one I have had. The darn thing won't twist a bit with that "girder" for a main support. If I hit someone with it I could knock them out, how many mice can claim that?
The wireless RAT9 is just as bad. I've used mine for a month, the thumb buttons went from clicky, to not clicky, to not working at all. Biggest waste of money ever. And the wireless version has the same tracking problem as the wired one. It doesn't sit flat on the table. Worse mouse ever.
@gamez12100 nahhh, its nothing but looks, and poorly manufactured. Worst mouse ever. And any mouse which buttons break after a week of use is worthless and cheap.
@zadarnowski Just twist your thumb rest upwards a bit. Sorted it out for me. After that the only time it ever rocked around was if I put too much weight on the very back/right corner of the mouse.
This video shows a serious problem with the mouse. I want to love this mouse so badly, but it just won't let me. First I had to toss it away because the vertical sensor stopped working now and again. Today I took it out again and tried without the mouse mat. Seemed to work better that way. But then the mouse click wobble became apparent. Tried squeezing everywhere while tightening the screw but nothing worked. I guess I'll try the top comment suggestion. 43 likes can't be wrong right?
i think you are talking about the wobble of the mouse when clicking on it. I cant be sure because all you do is point at the mouse and click the button. i see a wobble. but if that is what you are talking about maybe think about what you are doing. the weight of your hand will balance it plus you can add weight to the rear (i beleive they are 6 gram weights). if it is the wobble it's human error not product error. if it's the wobble then carry on.
Does the thumb wheel work on this mouse? I bought the rat 7 contagion and the thumb doesn't work properly in game. Outside of the game, the thumb wheel works perfect. Inside the game, the thumb wheel doesn't work proper, it doesn't recognize it, I keep have to keep scrolling the thumb wheel until it finally detects it. Did you have same problems?
@TheBlader9 I finally worked out what this guy was on about now that I own a RAT 7.
The thumb rest is not perfectly level with the surface, so pressing the mouse buttons makes the mouse rock. It is actually quite a problem. You sort it out by twisting the thumb rest upwards slightly
@TheBlader9 If you watch the video, when you adjust the thumb out, and press the left or right mouse button, it isn't level anymore and wobbles on its base.
Friend, okay? I'm having a big problem with this mouse model, and you leave him standing out of nowhere he starts to shake myself, I tried reinstalling the drivers, software, switched to another computer and continue with the same problem, I made the purchase of a mouse pad Thermaltake conkor control edition and just getting worse, would have any suggestions, big hug, thank you.
I like the default position for my thumb piece, and while I've looked over the mouse to see what it's all about, I never knew there was a bolt on the inside!
DONT BUY IT, my 3rd one just failed, and there tech support department pretty much laughed at me . FAIL MOUSE lasts 3 weeks then will sporadically not move left and right
If you want to show a failure with the mouse movement don't use an unstable surface !!!
No wonder the mouse moves down if you press the button from the upper direction -.- this isn't a bug it's just your foolishness not holding the mouse with your hand while clicking... You know that's what you do with a mouse... Hold it !!!!
Oh and i tried this mouse for some time along with some of my friends and nothing like that ever happend to us (neither the lift it up cursor
Just nerds nitpicking, the weight of my hand keeps my rat flat on a table all the times with no issues. I dont feel the need to sit and tap the front of it like that when trying to kill ppl in BC Vietnam.. which is awesome btw :D
It seems many dont't understand the point of thid vid, so I'll explain.
Many of the places you can buy this from, there have been people complaining that when you press one of the buttons, the mouse rocks as it's not flat.
This vid simply explains that you need only make and adjustment to have it slide smoothly with no rocking effect.
Notice how the table wobbles like a bitch? That probably means it's uneven. Oh no! I've had the mouse for almost 4 months now and I've never had this issue...
I had the same problem. Tried pushing down in the middle as someone else said, but that didn't work. What I did was loosen the bolt, pick the mouse up and pull the thumb rest DOWN, then tighten it. Worked like a charm and it feels rock solid now.
@MrWhothefuckever Tried this several times, but alas... I almost pressed the damn mouse through the desk, lol. I think I'll just cut the cord off and hang it on display. That's all this piece of crap mouse is good for.
People are complaining about it because it clearly is a problem, not everyone holds their palm firmly on the back of the mouse for one thing.
I think if a mouse this expensive has a fault like this it's commendable to display it in a clear manner. It's up to you to decided if it's going to be a problem for you, personally, I'm taking the risk, but I'm doing so more informed than I would be by a Madkatz press release.
Lol love all the people that dont have a clue what the problem is here. Cant you see the mouse is not stable? Rofl. 2 sides of the mouse are higher or lower than they were supposed to be and the mouse pounces back and forth when you press the left click ( or other ways when you add some weight to the left click)
dude... did you make 2 videos about how bad your mouse is? how old are you? if you want to complain about your problems go on omegle or something... If you REALLY HATE YOUR MOUSE MOUSE you can sell it to me for what you its worth =)
I was considering buying this mouse but after this, im not sure... but i cant figure out what your pointing out, and im not being a smart ass- seriously, what exactly are you pointing out.
The back and right are not mounted to clearly show how much it moves, if that is your logic then you can also point out that none of the weights were installed either and you can have a super heavy 30g with the weights and that might offset it as well.
Watch the other related video to see the lift + errors with the sensor, this has already been submitted to mad catz engineers and have even taken my "fix" into consideration.
The only fail I see is this failure to bash one of the perfect gaming mice on the market lol. When you actually hold the mouse propperly, there is no movement.

@CyberP07 It does happen. The thumb rest is not always straight and may need twisting upwards. Mine was OK after doing that though.
It doesn't help that the mouse in the video was seemingly resting on the least stable surface in the history of Earth.

Mropticalgreen 1 year ago
Quoted from; hardforum(.)com/showthread.php?t=1484148&page=15
If any of you find issues when the thumb rest is tightened, try the following:
1. Loosen the bolt
2. Adjust the thumb rest to where you want it
3. Place the mouse on a flat, hard surface
4. Press down very firmly on the middle of the mouse - the section where R.A.T. is printed
5. Tighten the bolt fully whilst pressing down on the mouse
See if that helps.
I figured it was worth reposting here for the people who have the issue.

I've just recieved my RAT7.
Mine has the rocking issue even worse than in the video, even with the bolt loosened it still wobbles, making doubble clicking very hard.
