Mad Catz RAT 9 wireless windows 11 driver help!

Hello. Does anyone have a Windows 11 driver for the Mad Catz rat 9 wireless mouse? After installing the Windows 10 driver, only the basic buttons work: right-left mouse button, the scroll wheel. I can't use the programmable buttons, no matter how many combinations I set. The product is no longer supported on the official Mad Catz website, as it is no longer manufactured.

RAT 8+ ADV vs RAT 8+

Been oogling madcatz mice for ages now, and finally came to decision to get one. Been thinking between RAT 8+ ADV and RAT 8+ but from what I understand they are both pretty similar mice. Now correct me if I'm wrong but besides the DPI there is not much of a difference between them?
I'm mostly asking cause I would be buying 8+ ADV, but it's kinda tricky due to shipping costs, even though I LOVE that red color.
What are your thoughts? Is it worth it to pay significantly more for AVG edition?

Newer Madcatz Mojo?

Hi all,

Obviously the madcatz Mojo is very dated now but I liked it. Is there an android console out there that's newer and has better compatibility with the play store?

Need help, mouse pad to match my setup!

So last week i received mad catz mojo m2 and it was a amazing mouse compared to the price, now I'm looking for mousepad. I searched a bit and I found two options:

1- mad catz glide speed XL (found no reviews of it)

2-mad cat glide glide 38 (found many mixed reviews)

Which one is better in terms of quality? Are they even good and reliable? (I have used qck and glorious xl until now)

Mad Catz ego te3 arcade stick

I recently purchased this arcade stick and I really like it.

but for some reason it's really annoying to do QUATER CIRCLE FORWARD/BACKWARDS moves with this stick. why is this?

and also button input lags when playing online ... why is this?

im not being funny here or shitting on the company I really like the stick but im just baffled why these things which are super easy to do on a controller is really difficult to pull off on this stick.

RAT ergonomics question

Hey u/MadCatzGuy or anyone really,

With the MMO 7+ prototypes; can you tell us the vertical high for the out edge of both the left and right buttons. (ie. angle or tilt of the mouse)

Its an ergonomic question stemming from:

After having a few elbow reconstructions, most MMO gaming mice cause a lot of pain in the arm , as they sit flat. When your hand is in a pronated position your two bones cross over each other creating a strain effect. a more vertical mouse reduces this strain as the arm is in a neutral position (slightly closer to a supinated but not all the way) position. Especially when having multi hour gaming sessions.

R.A.T9 Charger

I intend on designing a charger for the RAT9 batteries, is anyone interested ?

the original charger tends to charge batteries up to 3.7 volts only, except that the cells can go up to 4.2 (lithium)

i would do it so that it could charge two cells too

R.A.T. 3 Appreciation Posts

Hey guys!
Wanted to share my experience with you all, this is my R.A.T. 3, bought back in 2013 for 40 euros and used for 10+ years (as you can probably guess by all the gunk and dirt on it). Retired it recently because the middle mouse got abused so hard during my For Honor sessions it became completely unresponsive, but everything else is still working, astonishing achievement after 10 years of abuse.
Such an incredible piece of tech, solid and durable, it was at my side during my teenage year and in the majority of my gaming life.
Thank you MadCatz for this amazing machine.

Can someone suggest me a new MadCatz mouse? Bonus point if wireless.

I fell down a rabbit hole today - R.A.T. 7 (see below)

About 2 weeks ago I found and bought a R.A.T. 7 at my local flea market, Since I bought it second hand I had no info on it. but thats besides the point

Today I went to the mad catz website to try to find the download thing for the R.A.T. 7, There was nothing. So I used wayback machine to find it, It looks like it just fell off the face of the earth in 2016, this is the last real image of its product page, The rest are 404 errors.

Does anyone know what happened? Im genuinely curious.

R.A.T.6 Drivers Download

My friend has a R.A.T.6 (non-plus) that seems to no longer be supported on the Mad Catz website. He was having trouble finding proper drivers/software for it so he asked me to look for him. Unfortunately, the software for the R.A.T.6+ doesn't seem to work, or at least it doesn't work as well. I forget the details. Anyway, here is the software for the original red R.A.T.6.

Looking for Mous 9 software

Good day reddit users. In 2014 while traveling in Canada from South Africa I bought the Mad Catz Mous 9. At the time the software was readily available but it's been a while since I used the mouse and have gotten a new pc since then. Now I want to use the mouse again but can't seem to find the software for it anywhere. I was wondering if anybody had any solutions to this. I know I don't need the software to use the mouse but I really wanna customize the buttons and what not.

Problem with holding

My MadCatz RAT Pro X3 mouse has an issue: during gameplay (it happened in CS2 and PUBG), while spraying (holding the left mouse button), the button randomly releases. However, this problem only occurred in these two games. I tested it for about 10 minutes, and holding the left mouse button worked fine during the tests.

DWS software no longer opens.

I've been using this mouse for over 3 years and now when trying to open the software to edit some of the kebinds it just wont open. I've uninstalled/reinstalled and nothing. An hourglass pops up for a second after I double click to open but then absolutely nothing happens after.

It's been like this for a while but the mouse still works with all my previous set keybinds but I'd like to change them for other games and things.

one other note, If anyone can find or has replacement thumb button part, I'd be interested. Both of the top buttons have broke off and madcatz unfortunately doesn't carry or sell replacement parts for a $120 mouse which personally is a bit silly but I'm guessing that's normal.

How to configure M.M.O 7 (Original) thumb wheel as sideways scroll?

I have the original M.M.O 7, and I've installed its drivers and profiler software on both Windows 7 and 10. Even though the thumb wheel should scroll sideways by default, it didn't work for me.

I tried setting an advanced macro for the thumb wheel scrolls to be regular scrolls but modified with shift, but that didn't work either. I suspect my thumb wheel might even be broken.

How do I definitively test it, and, if it works, how do I make it scroll sideways, but preferably by way of native sideways scrolling commands?

EDIT/FIXED: I apparently didn't press save or activate enough times. I did an advanced macro, on anticlockwise, on press, "shift + scroll up", no delay, and same thing on repeat and release. same thing for clockwise but scrolling down.
