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 suitable for all hands/grips
For people with large hands, it's really hard to have full control of the mouse. What is more, its light weight makes this even harder. The mouse is great, but it won´t suit you if you are a grown up man/woman with large hands. If you have small hands then this mouse is great for you.
Con Feels cheap
There is not too much weight to the mouse and it feels a bit hollow, giving it a cheap feel.
