Mad Catz Super Mouse

That sniper button does look cool but my most typical solution to the sniping sensitivity issue is to deal with using one sens for all weapons. If you play FPSes at a competitive level you're going to be using a very low sens anyway (on a huge cloth mousepad for maximum precision) so people should learn how to use assault rifles and whatnot with a low sens (it'll help you get better).

Yeah, one of the criticisms I've seen of it is that it's quite heavy from the outset, and you really don't need to add in the additional weights at all.

I'll see if I can pick up a decent scale this week and compare the weight to some other mice. I didn't even notice the weightiness being cumbersome. The Razer is much lighter. That said, the higher sensitivity adjustment allows for moving the mouse cursor all the way across a dual screen setup without having to pick up the mouse.

death adder is 107 g and the rat w/o any weights is 154

Fry's Electronics out here in California has these and I got my hands on one today while I was there to pick up other stuff. I didn't have a surface to use one so I couldn't really gauge how heavy it actually was, but it didn't feel all that heavy to me. I'm sure it IS heavy as everyone's commenting, but it just wasn't so heavy that when I took it out I was thinking "damn this is one fat rodent!"

Anyway, I couldn't figure out how to work all the adjustments. This thing would definitely take some getting used to. It's a strange tactile experience because when you're holding it, you're holding rubberized surface in one area, touching plastic buttons with your thumb, and brushing against metal in another spot. The most distinctive quality of it in the couple of minutes I was messing with it was how crisp the buttons were. These did not feel like any normal mouse buttons that I've tried.

I'd love to try one of these in action, but just from messing around at the store I'd say I'm on the fence about it. It is just an all around odd tactile experience to say nothing about how it might perform.
