Street Fighter X Sanrio Arcade Fightstick Pro: The Kotaku Review

How many times can one website review the same fighting game controller with different graphics on it? one, two… two times. There is nothing else to say about the hardware itself.


Mad Catz’s Mobile Hardware Is Just As Pretty As Its PC Peripherals

As promised last week, Mad Catz has drawn back the curtain on its new line of mobile peripherals, each (well, not the headset) featuring its fancy GameSmart technology to ensure compatibility across a wide range of mobile devices. If it supports Bluetooth Smart (and it should), your mobile jam could be enhanced by a mouse that looks like it comes from the future. Oh, and wait until you hear the names.


Mad Catz Plans To Create Mobile Gaming Peripherals

Power A has the MOGA. Nyko has its PlayPad. Steel Series has gone Free. Everybody’s trying to get into the mobile gaming controller market, looking to deliver a game pad solution that all game developers can embrace. Mad Catz isn’t just building a mobile game pad. They’re creating a universal Bluetooth technology initiative called GameSmart in order to deliver a full range of traditional gaming accessories to the mobile market.


Japan’s Most Talented Pro-Gamer Is Now Appearing In A Japanese Manga

As far as Street Fighter players go, they don’t get much bigger than Daigo Umehara. He has an endorsement with peripheral maker MadCatz, and he even authored a book. But it doesn’t stop there. He recently popped up in a Japanese manga.


You Can Voice-Chat On The Wii U While Gaming, But There’s A Catch

The Wii U will support in-game voice chat, but you’ll be forgiven if you’re not sure exactly how that will work. Nintendo hasn’t shown an official headset for the WIi U and the Wii U’s Pro Controller — the one that looks a lot like an Xbox 360 controller — doesn’t even have a port to connect one.


Assembling The Most Insane Gaming Keyboard I’ve Ever Typed On

I’ve gone through dozens of gaming keyboards during my decades of PC gaming, from generic off-white Wal-Mart specials to elaborate, fully-programmable, back-lit monstrosities. The Cyborg S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 from Mad Catz is the first gaming keyboard I’ve had to screw together before using.


Is The World’s First Truly Wireless Xbox 360 Headset Truly Worth $300?

Tritton’s Warhead 7.1 Wireless Surround Headset does something no other third-party Xbox 360 headset does: it allows players to use voice chat without plugging a wire into the controller.


Mad Catz Releases A Gaming Keyboard From The Future

It’s completely modular. It’s got an LCD touch panel with program controls and integrated TeamSpeak. It’s made of freaking metal. The S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 gaming keyboard is a technological marvel, and it can be yours for only *checks price* $US300, dammit.


Half-Life Fans Trolled By Keyboard Company

Mad Catz revealed yesterday the company’s latest, fanciest keyboard to date: the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7. It’s…certainly something, but that’s not why we’re here today. Today, we’re here for shits and giggles.


Kotaku Hardware Battles: MMO Gaming Mice

Massively multiplayer online gamers have different needs than those of first-person shooter or real-time strategy fans. They need social interaction. They need extremely comfortable chairs. They need all of the Cheetos.
