Question Ranking
Pros

It will still work just as well as the day you bought it.

Pro Cordless version available
It also comes in a cordless version, called the RAT 9.
Pro Fast response, fast tracking
With a 5700 DPI and a polling rate that ranges from 125-1000 the Thermaltake Ventus X 2015 allows for accurate tracking and response time. Making for a good mouse to use in first person shooters as well as daily activities.
Pro Ergonomic
The ergonomic right handed design allows for a comfortable palm grip to be used with the device.
Pro Adjustable weight
There are extra weights that users can place into the device to customize the weight of the device.
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 Stiff scroll wheel
The scroll wheel tends to be a bit stiff which may cause inaccurate scrolls.
