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.

MMO 7+ MIA???

Has any information been released on the MMO 7 Plus? The last thing I could find was they were shooting for a Q2 '24 release date...

I tried emailing the company directly but that was met with radio silence. I need a new mouse ASAP just wondering if I should wait a little longer or move on.

Edit: I've moved on. 0 information, 0 communication, 0 sales

MadCatz 8846 DS gamepad for PS3 not recognized in PS3 for many years

Hi guys, I have an old good quality DS gamepad for PS3 : MadCatz with OEM PartNumber:8846 that worked flawlessly many years ago (2009-2012yrs) on PS3's firmwares 2.x till 3.50 till when SONY blocked all 3rd party USB accessories (it seems because of jailbreak that appeared at those days). Now that we all know that custom firmware has many abilities I don't understand why nobody made a fix in PS3's firmware to re-enable all 3rd party accessories for this console :( Does anyone have any idea what I can do with this MadCatz gamepad?

Need help finding software for the RAT 7

Hey there, just recently bought a used RAT 7 off eBay because it looked awesome and I liked the modular design of it. Only issue is, I can’t seem to find working software for it.

I tried on the official mad catz website, but it seems to skip over the RAT 7 entirely, going to the RAT 6+ to RAT 8+. I did try to use the 8+’s software, but it wasn’t changing anything to my mouse.

I did try the files from https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/s/UURAVxHfy3 but the software would install but I couldn’t find where the executable was, and the driver wouldn’t let me install because of a runtime error.

Any ideas? Will any of the new and official software work but under a different name?

Lightweight R.A.T AIR with retained modularity from its predecessor

Just as the title stated: Will we ever see a mouse that checks all the above mentioned boxes? I wouldn't mind if you had to completely exchange the back everytime you want to change the length for weight saving but I really love the modularity of more older mice (especially the pinky flare). Weight of the air is also pretty high, even if not compared to high level shooter mice at 96g
