    +1, although I'm fairly sure given Saitek/Madcatz build quality that it will have fallen apart a month later :p

    I've never had a problem with their build quality :confused: knock on wood. Though given the look of all the moving parts, i won't be throwing this mouse at the wall anytime soon...

    i want this mouse to father my children,, is this the death of the mamba? I think so.... hopefully it only has a little usb dongle, so it can be more portable than the mamba....

    the rat 9 is wireless but it isn't a little dongle, its an whole receiver that also charges the 2nd battery and holds the unused weights. [​IMG]

    as a result, portability isn't a strong point for the rat 9

    My ONLY problem with this mouse, which I guess is less a problem and more a "coolness" type thing is that, sure it comes with the weight system, adjustable grips, replaceable grips, etc... however, is it just me or isnt this kinda like that "Set It and Forget It!" chicken roaster? I mean, won't all the coolness and fun that comes from adjusting the mouse kinda a one time deal? Once you have it all set to fit you the best it can (I doubt a lot of people will even be able to get that "perfect" fit) arent you going to just leave it alone at that point and never really adjust anything again?

    Either case, still looks good. Even if you dont play with it all the time, the $100-$120 pricetag is respectable for what it is and the specs that come along with it...now lets just hope that quality is up to par!

    You make a valid point. I guess it depends if you fidget a lot. I know I do and I constantly change grip on my orochi, palm, claw, palm, touchpad. I guess in that sense it would be ok. But like you said, even for the price, its most definately gives the most bang for your buck.
