## Questions & Answers

**Q: Have they sorted the issue from the RAT 7 where the sensor would lock on one axis?**
A: A year in and mine is still faultless!

**Q: What are the max dimensions of this mouse?**
A: its ajustable for all hand sizes and differant grips and is very well built by a german company i use mine a lot for gaming + its progamable too

**Q: I bought this for my partner for christmas and now the whole mouse has stopped working, any advice please?**
A: hello, yes return it via amazon and get a full refund, these are built badly and break with use on games where you have to "click fast". good news is the return was done within 2 weeks. my son now has a better mouse at half the cost..

**Q: The advert mentions customisable pinkie rest. Does this have a fin like the thumb rest in the box to use?**
A: It has multiple pinkie rests in the box to use including a huge fin very similar to the thumb rest which i currently use, the fins are also adjustable to allow you to make the grips even wider. Hope that helps :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fantastic
*by K***S on 10 January 2024*

this mouse brand has been around for a long time but i didnt get one because of the price but i dont like using a light weight mouse so i got one of these (the rat 8 plus) , if anything i would prefer this mouse if it was a bit heavier but its fine as it is. it is nice quality, my main concern was that the side buttons would bother me but they dont. my other mouse had annoying side buttons & everytime i picked it up those buttons would trigger & mess my browser up, this is not like that, the buttons dont trigger all over the place, there is a precision aim button on the side but its not in the way so you can handle the mouse without setting it off. nice quality, i like the rubbery grip panels. will update review after ive used it for a while.
