CES 2014: Mad Catz Announces the R.A.T. Tournament Edition Gaming Mouse

Mad Catz, at CES, announced their new R.A.T. Tournament Edition mouse designed for professional and competitive gamers.

The R.A.T. TE features a new Phillips Doppler laser sensors that gives the mouse a maximum tracking speed of 8200 DPI. The mouse’s weight has also been reduced, along with improved speed and resolution for, according to Mad Catz, faster reaction times. And since the mouse is designed for e-sports professionals, the programmable button mapping feature has been optimized for the most popular e-sports games.
