The Mad Catz R.A.T. PRO X3 is a high-end wired gaming mouse designed for gamers who demand full customisation, extreme precision and an adaptive build that evolves with their style. Built on the foundation of a premium PixArt PMW3389 sensor, the PRO X3 boasts up to 16,000 DPI, 50G acceleration and rapid tracking speeds—making it capable of handling the most demanding in-game scenarios and high-speed movements without hesitation.
What sets the PRO X3 apart from typical gaming mice is the degree of physical adaptability. The EXOFRAME magnesium alloy chassis provides a rigid yet light structure, and to that is added a suite of interchangeable parts—three palm rests catering to different hand lengths, two thumb rests, two pinkie rests, and glide feet you can swap between ceramic or Teflon depending on your desired mouse pad feel. This lets you tailor the mouse’s shape, weight distribution, and friction to your exact preference.
For connectivity and controlling performance, the PRO X3 uses a robust braided 1.8 m USB cable and supports polling rates up to 3,000 Hz (0.3 ms input lag). This ensures that every flick, swipe or micro-adjustment is transmitted with minimal delay—crucial for competitive gaming where milliseconds count.
On the software side, Mad Catz enables deep customisation: you can program up to 10 on-board profiles, remap 10 buttons, adjust the scroll wheel’s resistance and behaviour, tune DPI in fine increments, set macros across games or tasks, and customise RGB lighting with millions of colour possibilities. The included software and on-board memory means you can carry your settings with you across PCs.
Ergonomically, the PRO X3 is right-hand oriented and designed to accommodate various grip styles—from palm to claw to fingertip—thanks to its adjustable parts and mid-sized footprint (~115 mm length × ~87 mm width × ~38 mm height) and ~105 g weight (excluding cable). The hybrid build bridges flexibility and precision.
In practical usage, the R.A.T. PRO X3 shines for players who switch between games, who participate in tournaments, or who engage in long creative sessions. Whether you’re in a high-stakes FPS, executing macro sequences in a stream layout, or simply navigating multi-monitor productivity workflows, the PRO X3 adjusts to you—not the other way around. The attention to customisation allows true personalisation of feel and function.
To summarise: the Mad Catz R.A.T. PRO X3 is more than a gaming mouse—it’s a modular performance platform. It offers elite sensor tech, ultra-fast input, robust construction and an unprecedented level of personalise-ability. If you’re building a high-end rig and demand a mouse that can keep up with evolving hardware and play styles, the PRO X3 stands out as a top choice.
