Mad Catz to release Cyborg-brand mice this Spring photo

Mad Catz is entering the luxury gaming mice business. On January 6th, the third-party manufacturer announced plans to release a range of Cyborg-brand gaming mice in the spring 2010.

So, what’s in the mice? Just think premium features: high DPI, fast lasers, wireless options, and even weight systems.

A total of four mice were unveiled in the press release. Each lesser-numbered model scales down in terms of features and therefore price. The list of mice (and their individual features and price) is available below the fold. The information is taken straight from the release since we can’t verify the facts right now, but we will probably get our hands on at least one of these pups at CES this year. Stay tuned.


Cyborg R.A.T. 7 Gaming Mouse

  • Features: Fully Adjustable; 5600dpi laser; Programmable; Weight System; USB powered
  • Price: MSRP: $99.99 / £79.99 / €99.99

Cyborg R.A.T. 9 Gaming Mouse

  • Features: Wireless, Fully Adjustable, 5600dpi laser; Programmable,; Weight System; Powered by Rechargeable Batteries
  • Price: MSRP: $129.99/ £99.99 / €129.99

I never thought I'd see a mouse that I could call creepy, but... man, I've seen Terminator.

But in all honesty, I don't see this replacing my G5 anytime soon.

Jesus christ that's ugly. But the PC EXTREME GAYMAN faggots will eat that shit up. You know, the same people who think it's cool to have a clear side window on their PC case with a bunch of blue leds shining out of it.

@Diverse: Just because someone has a style they like doesn't mean they are a "fag" as you call them. Then again, you're probably also the type who calls people "noobs" for using ANYTHING other than the shotgun in Gears of war. Or the type who says the work "fuck" or "fag" at least once per sentence. So to end my comment, I shall leave you with this note. Your mother my good sir, your mother...

On topic, It doesn't appeal to me but I can see how they are trying to appeal to the "gamer" market. Sadly I personally don't feel they have the slightest idea how to appeal to a PC consumer. PC users usually want functionality over anything else, which I don't think Mad Catz can deliver at an acceptable level. At least for now anyway.

If I ever got my hands on one (read: pre-ordered) I wouldn't use it as a mouse as much as flying it through the air making "FFWWWIIISSSHHHH!" noises.

Looking at those damn prices, I really get an urge to either shoot myself or emigrate to the US.

I was under the impression that Saitek held the copyright for Cyborg PC peripherals. What is this blasphemy?
