Mad Catz is back from the dead

Mad Catz is back: under new management by logitech, with new ideas, new attitude and most importantly, an entire range of new, high-quality gaming products.

Known for their award-winning range of R.A.T. gaming mice, arcade FightSticks, gaming headsets and much more besides, the new Mad Catz will focus first on quality, committed to producing innovative gaming products, designed and engineered in-house to stand out amongst the competition and deliver superlative performance for gamers of all abilities. At CES 2018, Mad Catz will be previewing the first products in the new range, a line of all-new PC gaming hardware including new R.A.T. mice, S.T.R.I.K.E. keyboards, F.R.E.Q. gaming headsets and G.L.I.D.E. gaming surfaces.

  

 

Key products in the new range include the R.A.T. AIR an-all new version of the iconic, fully-adjustable gaming mouse, now with a state-of-the-art wireless power system. The R.A.T. AIR requires no unreliable battery pack to operate, instead drawing power via the wireless activation gaming surface, included in pack. For gamers preferring to use their own gaming surface, the R.A.T. AIR also includes a robust USB cable in pack, instantly converting the R.A.T. to a wired mouse. The S.T.R.I.K.E.4 gaming keyboard features a fully mechanical key bed, aluminum frame and RGB lighting, and the F.R.E.Q.4 gaming headset, utilizes high-quality 40mm neodymium drivers and a metal plated frame. Further details of new products in the range are expected to be announced shortly.

"We couldn't be more excited than to begin 2018 by announcing the return of Mad Catz to the global gaming arena. Mad Catz has been a permanent fixture in gaming for almost three decades and we firmly believe it's best days lie ahead," said Selena Chang, Director of Sales and Operations for Mad Catz Global Limited. "Through listening to gamers worldwide, we plan to once again forge a path of innovation in the gaming hardware community, and we're already working on delivering products which we believe will enhance gamers' abilities and do justice to the Mad Catz name. We can't wait to unveil a little more at CES 2018 and in the months to come."

Mad Catz Global Limited will be demonstrating new products in the range through invitation only at CES 2018, taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada from January 9th through 12th, 2018.

I know people didn't rate them much but my RAT 3 was the best mouse I'd ever owned before it committed suicide, felt perfect in my hand and had pixel perfect precision

Maybe my memory is enhanced because this Razor PoS I replaced it with in a hurry is crap :D

I really loved my original RAT 7 (before they started having issues with the sensor) my Mionix Naos 7000 is almost as comfortable for me, but I wish it was heavier like the RAT was. I also miss my on the fly profile switching.

I always heard good things about the RAT but it was stupidly high priced and ugly as hell.
