Plug-and-play compatible with Windows® PC and expected to ship in time for Holiday 2015, the R.A.T.1 innovative Module System features three core components – Tripod Chassis, Sensor Module and Adjustable Palm Rest that users can customize to match their personal style and usage requirements.

Ultra-lightweight and made from the same materials used in Mad Catz’ tournament-grade gaming mice, the R.A.T. 1 Tripod Chassis provides a high-strength frame for its module components. Seated inside the Tripod Chassis, an adjustable 3500DPI optical Pixart PMW3320 gaming-grade Sensor Module provides the brain of the R.A.T.1.
