Mad Catz Launches New Mouse Built for MMOGs
This mouse offers access to up to 78 individual commands thanks to its 13 buttons and six programmable modes.
Peripheral manufacturer Mad Catz has added a new gaming mouse to its portfolio of PC and Mac gaming products that's based on its popular tank-like Cyborg R.A.T.7 mouse. Called the Cyborg M.M.O.7, it's designed specifically for use with MMOGs, offering thirteen action buttons and six programmable modes.
"The new Cyborg M.M.O.7 demonstrates our continued commitment to growing our Cyborg brand by developing innovative products for passionate consumers." said Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. "The Cyborg M.M.O.7 is part of our continuing initiative of building our portfolio of evergreen products that do not need to be reinvented every year."
According to Mad Catz, the new gaming mouse provides dual Actionlock buttons, a new feature designed to reduce fatigue when moving through open world gaming environments by allowing players to lock the input of left and right mouse buttons at will. There's also a World of Warcraft plug-in that allows users to drag and drop spells, inventory items and macros directly to the buttons of the mouse.
As for other features, the mouse has a state-of-the-art 6400DPI twin-eye sensor with four custom settings, a unique 5D button which enables five commands with a single control, interchangeable pinkie grips and palm rests, fully adjustable RGB backlighting, a custom weight system and Cyborg's proprietary Smart Technology (ST) software. Technical specs include an acceleration of 50G, a dynamic polling rate of up to 1000 Hz, tracking speed of up to 6m/sec and a gold-plated connector.
The Cyborg M.M.O.7 is slated to ship in January 2012 and will be compatible with Mac OS X version 10.6.6 or later, as well as Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. For more information, head here.

Thats fugly....
razor naga, i have one, never used it once in games, but damnit do the programmable buttons come in handy in everything else.
It looks like a Covenant Cruiser/Destroyer from the Halo universe.
I hope it doesn't eat up my hand because of a virus attack
Sorry Mad Catz, but after your junk accessories for the PS2, I will never forgive you.
Maybe try to market it under Mad Dogz or something - maybe that sounds like a rappers name, but yeah.
It looks like there's a need for drivers licence : )
I bet that feels ugly in your hand. Is it a mouse or mouse trap? Does it come with a jet pack?
Mad Catz next Gen mouse will be one you sit on and just move your ass around in the chair.
Why do you need that many buttons? The keyboard has a lot of binds, assuming you can use shift/ctrl/alt modifiers. `123456qertyfghzcvb space, mousewheel up/down/click
If you need more, just get something like an MX518 or G400 or something. Probably less than half the price of this mouse too.
I've a R.A.T. 9 and I love it... Best mouse I ever owned. better then razer mamba
I agree Mamba is lacking because it's just too big for my hands...
however, Razer Orochi is perfectly sized...
don't know about Mad Catz's mice....they seem as big as Razer Mamba...
Do NOT buy this. I've got a RAT9 myself too, and I'm regretting having bought it EVERY SINGLE DAY that I'm using it. The dpi switch only affects software, not the hardware, so it'll still move around if you decide to breathe near it. The software's standard saitek buggy stuff, so if you do use the programmable buttons, you risk bluescreening. And if the sensor's anything like the RAT9 one, you'll be unable to use the mouse while having loudspeakers in the same room. Oh and pressing the left mouse button makes teh mouse move, so you'll always miss your shot, and the 'aim' button is too far in front and can't be reached comfortably, making it useless. Oh and did I mention that the buttons on the left side above the thumbrest are 'contact triggers' and not buttons you can keep holding down? so no push to talk on the mouse.
Also the thumb rest can't be fastened properly, and the battery is sometimes stuck, making quick battery exchanges near impossible.
This new thing looks very much like the same design, so stay away from it. Really.
Get anything else. Anything at all, and you'll be better off.
considering my original cyborg mouse won't change sizes, modes, let me program commands, etc. within windows seven.
i won't be buying any junk from saitek ever again.
Hmm, where is the price, why not use headline, without "priced" at the end!
Since it doesn't ship until January, the pricing probably hasn't been set yet.
What is that thing...
lol at the haters in this thread. I own the RAT7 and it's the best mouse I've ever owned. Beats out anything I ever bought from Logitech and Razer. I love the DPI button and macro software is very easy to use.
Love it to death. I'm thinking about buying a 2nd one just incase the one I have breaks in the future and they no longer sell it.
Think a lot of the complaints are most likely based on user-error, not the mouse lol.

in soviet russia, mouse moves you

That was one of the funniest comments I've seen today. But it will gradually get rated down because rating on toms works essentially like "oh, that one is rated down so I'll rate it down too".
