Verdict

The Mad Catz R.A.T. Pro X3 Supreme is a highly modular wired gaming mouse featuring a magnesium alloy exoframe and a PixArt PMW3389 optical sensor with 16,000 DPI, 400 IPS tracking, and 50G acceleration. Key characteristics include its 3,000 Hz polling rate, 10 programmable buttons, and extreme customisation offering up to 108 physical configurations via interchangeable palm rests, pinkie rests, and scroll wheels. Its primary pros are the exceptional ergonomic flexibility, durable 50-million-click Omron switches, and a unique analog scroll wheel that allows for nuanced input in simulations. However, notable cons include its high price point, relatively heavy 105g weight, an ill-placed sniper button that can lead to accidental clicks, and significant pre-travel on the middle-click button.
