Our Verdict

Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED

Mad Catz R.A.T. 4+

The Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED is a better gaming mouse than the Mad Catz R.A.T. 4+. The Logitech connects with its charging cable or wirelessly with its USB receiver. It feels significantly sturdier and has three additional buttons. It has a wider CPI range, much lower click latency, and you can also set a G-Shift button to enable a secondary layer of commands. It also has software compatible with Windows and macOS, while the Mad Catz only has software compatible with Windows. On the other hand, the Mad Catz is a wired-only mouse. It's somewhat lighter and has an adjustable palm rest.
