All it took was some pain in my wrist with an MX518 but no pain with an MX500 and I quickly swapped over the 500's weight. Along with the studies that I found showing how necessary weights are for our wrists.
The performance of laser sensor in it was somewhere between "very bad" and "fraud".
Had it replaced... Didn't help.
Got G700s now, and I'm happy.
Also I remember back in the day when I worked At electronics boutique ... Mad Catz stuff was junk ... I mean Utter Crap, Every time A customer would try to bye one of their controllers I would be like ... Yea spend the extra 10 and get A real controller... that thing will fall apart. Dont know what happen .. but mad catz can make mice.
The one thing I have too say about this new mouse RAT TE... where are all the parts ... not all mice are the same for everyone ... I think thats the best part of all of the other RATs .. you can make them fit/ comfortable for you ... other wise .. whats the point of A 150.00 mouse ???
