Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Reliable; keeps on going through the years
It will still work just as well as the day you bought it.
Pro Incredible flexibility
Many parts of the mouse are adjustable with interchangeable pinkie grips and palm rests to a custom weight system. The mouse is able to literally change its size and weight.
Pro Cordless version available
It also comes in a cordless version, called the RAT 9.
Pro Quick DPI Change
Profiles can be custom made in the drivers for the 4 different DPI settings. Your current profile is shown with the 4 lights by the left mouse button.
Pro 2 profiles can be saved to the device
Two user profiles can be saved to the device with a switch on the bottom of the mouse.
Pro Adjustable weight in base
Option to add 8 cylindrical weights to base of the mouse (weights included) from 140g to 160g..
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 Macro Button Placement
Placement of the macro button by the scroll wheel means there is accidental presses.
