I have some serious problems with my Mad Catz R.A.T. 7 mouse, I can move my cursor but I can't always click on a button, or work in a program like Blender.
The hardware is okay, it works just fine on Windows on the same PC.

Please explain what do you mean by can't always click on a button. The sensitivity is too high and you missing buttons? Update your answer with more info.– whtygerMar 8, 2016 at 8:45

Sometimes you can't close Window by clicking the close Button on the Window.– STNMar 10, 2016 at 13:01

You mean Mad Catz R.A.T. 7? Yep, it surely "uncompromising", according to its photo. So it misses clicks? Only on Close button or elsewhere? Many people complaining about accidental double-clicks of this model: youtube.com/watch?v=x3j3veLA9is– whtygerMar 10, 2016 at 15:17

Found some info regarding this mouse: delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/… . Button freezing is also mentioned in it.– whtygerMar 10, 2016 at 15:23

You need to add a Config file in the Directory: usr/share/xorg.conf.d, called 910-rat.conf, then edit the file and paste:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "R.A.T." MatchProduct "R.A.T.7|R.A.T.9" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "Buttons" "17" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 0 0 8 9 7 6 12 0 0 0 16 17" Option "AutoReleaseButtons" "13 14 15" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection
The problem with my Mad Catz Rat 7 was an Button freezing issues wich seems very common on Ubuntu.
I found a youtube video, which explains how to fix this issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=871eM-GcdyI

If it worked for you please post your config file which resolved your issue. This will make your answer valuable. Posting link as an answer isn't proper way. Thanks.– whtygerMar 11, 2016 at 6:45
