Rabid feline news now, with the erroneously spelled peripheral maker announcing "a new range of premium Cyborg gaming mice" expected to be in(side?) consumer's hands by Spring 2010. We feel like we can confide in you: we also assumed
Mad Catz had finally done it, actually blended human flesh with a traditional gaming mouse to create a new class (and species!) of PC gaming peripheral. Alas, no – it's just the addition of four mice, ranging in price from $50 to $130, to their currently keyboard-heavy existing Cyborg PC gaming lineup. "The Cyborg mouse range was developed entirely in house and I believe they are the most comfortable gaming mice you'll ever use," said Mad Cat Darren Richardson. "Also, upon contact with your hand, it will merge with your DNA and create an entirely new appendage blending the greatest aspects of the human body and the gaming mouse." Alright, we made that last part up ... but how about actual half-robot-half-rodent tech ...

Cyborg is a very accurate name for this mouse. This mouse looking like a mutated machine that has no problem cutting you in half.
It looks neat, but I imagine its really uncomfortable to be in your hand for hours... Much like every other MadCatz product.
@JeffSlmn
I had no problems with the PS2 Retrocon and X-Box Microcon.
looks like that mouse could cut my hand
I got the old Saitek (Mad catz) Cyborg mouse for 2 years, the best i ever had.
not popular in the US but i beleive the new ranges under Mad catz US retailer relationship will see more often.
that is why i am very interest in get the Wireless Cyborg RAT 9 or the RAT 5 or the coming Saitek(Mad catz) Eclipse Touch model that will be unveiled tomorrow.
The mouse looks like a threesome love child between the Batmobile, Red Camera, and James Cameron. "Come with me if you want to live."
the Cyborg R.A.T. 9 Gaming Mouse model

The Cyborg R.A.T. 9 (cordless) & R.A.T. 7 (corded) from MAD C.A.T.Z are P.H.A.T!

They didn't blend human and mouse DNA but they DID blend Decepticon DNA with mouse DNA :D

What's the black wire coming out of the front of the mouse for?
