Our Verdict

Mad Catz R.A.T. 4+

Logitech G903 HERO

The Logitech G903 HERO is a better gaming mouse than the Mad Catz R.A.T. 4+. The Logitech feels sturdier and has an ambidextrous shape. It connects with its charging cable or wirelessly with its USB receiver. It has mouse feet that glide more smoothly, and it has one additional side button and four more buttons total. It also has a wider CPI range, much lower click latency, and 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 that's a bit lighter and has a right-handed shape with an adjustable palm rest.
