Sold under Mad Catz’ Saitek brand, the Cyborg R.A.T. 9 is a pretty mean looking little gaming mouse. In this video we have a Mad Catz rep walk us through the controller’s shapeshifting ability.
Mad Catz is unveiling their new controllers for Street Fighter IV, a HAWX compatible flight stick and their latest PC flight stick at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show.
Finally Mad Catz can offer some decent PC peripherals, and it only cost them $US 30 million. The video game accessory giants have acquired flight stick masters Saitek in a deal to further establish MC as the place to go if you want to make something on a screen move without a keyboard and mouse. Saitek’s employees are expected to join Mad Catz and get much more dynamic T-shirts for trade shows. Eric Winkler, Saitek’s founder, commented: “Joining Saitek with Mad Catz is a truly complementary step that leverages the strengths of each side, gives the combined business a new scale, and strengthens the relationships with both suppliers and customers. I am proud of what the Saitek team has achieved in its 28 years and I thank all those who made it possible.
I’ve long been a fan of Saitek’s stuff, as it not only works well, but generally looks awesome as well. Here’s hoping the flourish under their new rule.
