Cons
Con Bad Palm Grip
With a design that is not ergonomic at the back and side buttons that are so far out it is not a recommended mouse for a mouse user who prefers palm grip.
Con Has input lag and smoothing
Being that this device is using a laser sensor there is expected lag and smoothing.
Con Laser (not optical) sensor
Laser sensors are just not that great when compared to optical sensors. Often there is acceleration issues with laser sensors.
Con Expensive for what the internal hardware is
Sadly the components inside of this mouse are pretty cheap, ranging from the switches to the laser sensor. For the price Mad Catz is charging one should expect higher quality components.
Con Forward / back buttons wear easily
The two buttons located on the side of the mouse (sometimes known as the page forward and page back buttons for internet browsers) wear out easily after only a few months of usage. That means that it requires extra force to register a button press, all while receiving no touch (or audible clicking) feedback. Frustrating but the mouse does continue working.
Con Uncomfortable "seam" where your thumb and palm meet
