The RAT8 has been designed with precision in mind to meet all your gaming needs. With the world's fastest optical sensor, 3 RGB lighting zones, built-in memory and high quality switch components, the RAT8
meets all gamers' requirements for performance and adaptability.

Each RAT provides industry-leading ergonomic customization to suit your personal playing style. Go one step further and use the powerful FLUX interface to program 11 macro keys and configure sensor performance.

The RAT8 has a very light frame that provides a balanced sensor position when tracking on the gaming surface. It also serves as a stable base for the other control modules.

Extremely reliable OMRON switches with an industry-leading 50 million click life ensure that even gamers with extremely high Actions Per Minute (APM) never miss an attack.

Every gamer is unique. Our RATs have been designed with precision in mind and allow you to customize key product components to optimize your game. The RAT8 features adjustable palm, little finger and thumb rests and a weight system.

The adaptability of the RAT is not limited to physical characteristics. Regardless of your preferred genre or playing style, you can customize every aspect of the sensor, button output, and lighting for optimal performance.

Save up to three profiles on your RAT with all your macro button, sensor and lighting settings. So you can always access your equipment configuration without having to install any software.

Thanks to the outstanding Pixart PMW 3360 optical sensor, the RAT8 can achieve extreme movement speeds of up to 250 inches per second and acceleration of up to 50 G. This is essential to safely avoid delays in snapshot reflexes and fast tracking movements.
