Hey guys, I just noticed this mouse, and since I use and love my RAT3 due to its good sensor and light weight I thought I'd post about it.
Link to the product info:

And a review:
http://www.pcgamer.com/review/mad-catz-r-a-t-te-mouse-review/#null
It's got an 8200DPI Philips Doppler sensor apparently, OMRON switches, precision button (for lowering DPI temporarily), really low lift-off distance and it's really light (90g, even less than a RAT3!)
Sounds like a good one for those of us who like light mice and it addresses my main problems with the current RAT 3 (high lift off distance, no precision button and non-OMRON switches).
I'm interested to find out more about that sensor if anyone has any info?

If it's laser, not interested.

It's a new generation laser doppler sensor from Philips. They seem to have fixed the Twin Eye issues. So the reasons for avoiding it "because it's laser" may be moot.
From what I can garner from the reviews I can find, it's very accurate and tracks well, even at full 8200 CPI. No mentions of acceleration issues, lift-off movement, tracking errors, etc..
The best feature: You can set the lift-off distance from 0.2 to 1.0mm depending on the surface you're using and what you prefer :D According to the reviews I have read so far it works well.
Another advantage over the RAT3 is that the palm rest is adjustable without having to take a screwdriver to it.
