Looks like a turbo charged mouse with a jet engine. Awesome!
What happens when you get that thing up to 88?
Looks cool, but strikes me as something that might be trying to do too much. I guess we'll find out soon enough...
i gotta admit, that thing looks pretty sweet. A lot like my G9, but, by the sounds of it, it wouldnt feel so tiny in my hand... I dont really like that thumbrest though, I need to be able to rest my thumb and little finger on the mousepad in order to be at my deadliest in FPS.
Mad Catz tho? really? I'd feel more comfortable it it was being released by a different, more reputable brand that the ppl that make those crappy 3rd party console controllers...
Why can't Mad Catz just keep their cheap arsed products... I have never bought or used anything I liked, manufactured by them.
So...could I like adjust it so I could play with my foot or something?
That looks crazy cool....
100 bucks for usb, 130 for wireless? No thanks, I'll stick with better mice at half the price.
I had no idea that MadCatz bought Saitek. I'm guessing that's what happened as the link for PC products on MadCatz site links to Saitek's site. I hope MadCatz leaves Saitek alone cause I've always known MadCatz to suck yet Saitek's joysticks have always been pretty good.
Still no way in hell they'll get me to stray from Logitech keyboards and mice though. You'll have to pry my G11 and MX518 from my cold dead hands.
Lol mad catz you're not a brand i think of quality from.
I remember using a pair of Mad Catz controllers for the Gamecube... all were unusable within a week, they malfunctioned from the very beginning.
time to retire my razer mamba and upgrade.
is this a joke?
I'll stick with my mx518 thanks.
is this a joke?
I wish..

I hope so too. Have a nice joystick and PC controller from saitek.
Bought 2 madcatz controllers, and both were junk.
No way in hell I'd even use this damned thing.
If I got one, I'd sell it and buy a second G5...
ill stick with my dell mouse i got for free... i'll never know the benefits of a nice mouse, and i dont feel like spoiling myself
G5 FTW
eewww Mad Catz!
There crap has a 50% of success or fail.
How much does that weigh? I like a mouse I can move easily and finely and I'm no superman.
time to retire my razer mamba and upgrade.
is this a joke?
Retire the mamba...have you gotten off ya rocks.
The mamba never retires.. and costs i bit more..
Would love to take it over for your if you are not pleased with the coolest mouse on the market....
Sell me the mamba ill give you a good price..
sorry wrong...hehe

I'm sold. Added to my wish list.
I'm skeptical but optimistic at the same time; depending on how many buttons it has I might get it but ultimate its performance has to be on par with a G5
I think I've seen this in the cockpit of an F-35.
I can't figure out where you load the ammunition magazine....
Were the last string of comments by the madcatz PR team or something? Wth.
MadCatz has been trying to turn in a new leaf. In fact the last bit of MadCatz hardware I bought (a $150 SFIV Tournament Edition arcade stick) is probably the sturdiest bit of gaming kit I've ever bought in recent memory.
please make tuan order one so he can tell us how well it works ; he could test it on the mousepad he probably never got
are they corded like all the other current gen gaming mice? or is there a cordless version? I'm hunting for a new gaming mouse, but appearently only the microsoft one's workable - and has a reputation for having a rubbish mousewheel and at times unreliable pointing..
First thought in my head:
"Rattrap, maximize!"
Ah, the 90's.
The mouse is a saitek product in their cyborg range. If you visit saiteks online shop the mouse retails for less than £60 if the prices you're referring to are of the mouse or something.
