R.A.T 7 Tracking Issues

[Irodo_BSMD]

I've had my R.A.T for 2 years now and recently it's been stuttering/jittering and having tracking issues. I've reinstalled drivers and it's getting worse. I'm using windows 10 too. Reckon I should get a new mouse? If so which one?

You should probably get a new and different, higher quality mouse. R.A.T Mice have a very bad rep for their products to fail after a while. Read, and listen to customer reviews.

Sorry to sound stupid, but have you cleaned out the mouse?

I have, especially the sensor

I had a RAT 3, it lasted a year, exactly same symptoms, it will eventually die altogether.

Ah, I had a RAT 7 as well. Got the same problem as you. Cleaning it helped but eventually it became permanent. The scroll wheel also gave out. Wouldn't detect anything.

I gave up trying to fix it and instead put it back into it's box and now it sits in a cupboard.

had my  first RAT 7 MMO for 1.5 years before it died (after being thrown into a brick wall a few time due to rage.... i really shouldnt play competitive FPS games)...

 

my current RAT 7 MMO has lasted well over a year and is still just fine.

 

my old RAT 9 bought 4 years ago STILL WORKS just fine. but batteries are wearing out
