Pros
Pro Reliable; keeps on going through the years
It will still work just as well as the day you bought it.

It also comes in a cordless version, called the RAT 9.
Pro Flawless sensor
The G400s uses an Avago ADNS S3095 sensor, which does not have any kind of prediction or acceleration issues.
Cons
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
Con Not competitive for its price range
While being an okay mouse the G400s does not have comparable features or specs to mice in the same price range.
