  • I grew up with madcatz being a joke of a product for poor kids or parents who didnt know better.

    Often analogue sticks with zero curve (just on/off)

    Did they level up their quality at some point?

    • -1

      Nope, still garbage.

      • Thats harsh, the quality isnt top-notch but its a step above generic crap, to be sure.

        I tend to buy only more expensive stuff like corsair/logitech etcv but dont regret any of my odd madcatz purchases for a long time

      While I can't comment on this headset as I don't know anything about it, the Mad Catz Tournament Edition Arcade Sticks are basically the standard for pro players playing fighting games (SF, Tekken, etc).

      • I'm still bitter about the fact that I paid double for the few TE sticks left at the time because it was meant to be a limited edition but then they just made more…

        Also they weren't without their issue. It's been a long time but I remember there were PCB issues with the initial batches.

          Never had any issues with mine and mine was the first batch. But i totally understand what you mean by the so called limited units they were going to make. I still use mine today on my PC and haven't changed anything. The non TE edition ones were a better buy as you can just swap the arcade parts out with Sanwa stuff and still be cheaper than the TE edition one.

          • @bogak: Mine's sat in its box for many years now, should bring it out for a hit….gosh can't believe it's been 11 years

      • yeah i was gonna say that too. I got a Killer Instinct TE edition for Xbox One in 2013 and it's still going strong, love it.

      don't know anything about the headsets, but their mice are very good and have been for a long time. So not sure how long ago you grew up.

      • Im early 30s.

        N64 and PS controllers were a joke.

        Their memory cards failed often also.

        • Yeah I had the piece of junk steering wheel for PS1 to play Ridge Racer and it broke within days. Got a replacement, broke again, replacement, broke, etc, etc until we gave up.

          Mad Catz being junk stuck with me ever since because I wanted to play with a wheel like the arcades sooo bad and it crushed my soul every time it broke.

          • @philsaggy: Im also a huge atomicmpc nerd, and I rmember their mouse range did incredibly well every test now I think about it.

            New wholesaler I guess.

    • I have the Mad Catz Cyborg MMO 7 mouse, have had it for years now, by far the best mouse ive ever owned. Looks and works as good as the day i bought it, which was about 6 years ago
