Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about MAD Catz B A T 6 Plus

  • Truly ambidextrous design with programmable side buttons on both sides
  • Modular parts including interchangeable magnetic palm rests and side skirts for better grip
  • High polling rate of up to 2000Hz for more responsive tracking
  • Excellent click latency performance suitable for competitive gaming
  • Durable Mad Catz Dakota switches rated for up to 60 million clicks
  • Onboard memory allows saving up to five custom profiles directly on the device

What customers don't like about MAD Catz B A T 6 Plus

  • Relatively high price point for a wired-only mouse
  • Inconsistent sensor performance reported by some reviewers (undershooting CPI during fast movements)
  • Braided cable is somewhat stiff and not as flexible as modern 'paracord-style' alternatives
  • Limited RGB lighting that is often obscured by the side 'wing' attachments
  • The companion software (Cyborg Engine) is described as basic or occasionally buggy
  • Bulky shape makes it less ideal for users with small hands using a fingertip grip

Verdict

The MAD Catz B.A.T. 6 Plus is a modular, ambidextrous gaming mouse featuring a high-performance PixArt PMW3389 optical sensor with up to 16,000 DPI, a 2,000Hz polling rate, and 400 IPS tracking speed. Its standout characteristic is the DAKOTA mechanical switch technology, which provides a 2ms response time and is rated for 60 million clicks. Main pros include a highly versatile design with swappable magnetic side skirts and palm rests to accommodate various grip styles, 10 programmable buttons, and five onboard memory profiles for custom setups. However, notable cons include a wired-only connection that may feel restrictive, a sensor that some users have found inconsistent during rapid movements, and a braided cable that can be somewhat stiff.
