Changing the Game… Again

R.A.T.PRO X heralds a new generation in high-performance adjustable gaming mice. Easily switchable components mean R.A.T.PRO X might just be the last gaming mouse you'll ever need.

Future-Proof Your Game
As technology advances, your mouse can now advance alongside it. R.A.T.PRO X offers your choice of optical and laser sensors, each with memory for up to 9 profiles. And when a new sensor comes along, you can simply swap-in a new module.

Our new magnesium alloy chassis is nimble yet incredibly strong. Plus, you can trade or adjust just about everything that comes in contact with your hand. We analyzed every single aspect of what makes a great gaming mouse. We then assembled one that's all but guaranteed to elevate your rank on the leaderboards.

Reinventing the (Scroll) Wheel

We didn't just redesign the scroll wheel, we created an all-new system. Conventional scroll wheels use mechanics, but our revolutionary system uses optics. This empowers you to precisely calibrate tension and speed, and even swap out the wheel itself.

Ergonomics and quicker response times are at the heart of this new setup. We include a set of three wheels with varying materials and dimensions. You can manually adjust their click-force to your liking, from free-wheeling to heavy click and everything in between. And, since the wheel resides on an easy-to-access swing-arm, you can quickly trade for one that best suits your
play style.

Switching and calibrating wheels is fantastic, but the innovation doesn’t stop there. The standout upgrade – a world’s first! – consists of two words: analog strafe. Because the entire scroll wheel mechanism and optical encoder harmonize as one unit, the wheel can pivot independently from the rest of the mouse! It doesn’t merely click when pressed left or right. Better still, it emulates a controller’s analog stick.

The wheel can pivot side-to-side to give you an extra, fully analog axis. Another axis opens up the possibility of ‘peeking’ out from behind cover, or even circle-strafing enemies. And in space sims that use an additional rotation axis, you can navigate your ship with perfect analog precision. This breakthrough control method gives you a distinct advantage over the competition – something you’ll find only on R.A.T.PRO X.


Interchangeable Sensor Modules

Various sensors cater to different games and styles of play. Rather than dictate your mouse's sensor, we let you choose between one of three different models with your purchase. As your play style changes or new sensors become available, you can upgrade just the sensor. This makes R.A.T.PRO X essentially futureproof.

A button at the sensor's base quickly cycles through up to 9 profiles you've set to the onboard memory. And courtesy of a handy LED, you can quickly see which profile you're using.

R.A.T.PRO X gives you the flexibility to use different sensors in your mouse. But, choosing one doesn't need to be a difficult process. Let's look at the traits of the first wave of sensors and why you'd pick one over the others.

Perfect Your Grip

Adjustability in the palm of your hand is part of what defines a R.A.T. Without the means to customize and truly make it your own, it'd be just another gaming mouse. The palm rests on almost every R.A.T. let you make lateral and vertical adjustments. Hungry for more, we gave
R.A.T.PRO X yet another way to adapt to your grip. Now you can rotate your palm rests – from 0-15 degrees – along the core axis.
