Anytime I hear Mad Catz I’m just reminded of that Scott the Woz video. “If you run into a building constructed by Mad Catz get the f out of there.”

“The controller brand for unloved brothers and sisters” -caddicarus

You may find yourself In a thrift store And you may find yourself Picking up a used Mad Catz controller And you may ask yourself "Well, how did I get here?"
-
Ah yes, Mad Catz racing wheels, for if you want to drive like you're in a sitcom.
-
I was at a GameStop when they had a Mad Catz promotion. Line of people at the counter, clerk picks up the phone. "Thank you for calling GameStop, the home of Mad Catz. Get a new controller for your console made with the same quality as an original PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo controller." We all started laughing at him until he cracks and tells us "Corporate makes us say that or we could be fired."
-
Mad Catz: Official creator of that controller you give to your younger sibling that’s never plugged in.
-
You can't just leave out the part where Mad Catz stopping making the junk, went on to make high end accessories like arcade fightsticks, and those controllers are still revered to this day. Some of the best and most iconic fightsticks ever made.
-
"huh that Android controller doesn't seem bad, I know some games I could try with it- THREE HUNDRED BUCKS?!"
-
I just realized, since I grew up with a cheap mom who bought 3rd party peripherals, I might actually have been better at games than I thought.
-
My parents made the mistake of buying a Mad Catz controller once. It was for the GameCube, and the control stick quickly lost the ability to respond to upwards inputs. They immediately realized that the money saved on per-controller costs did not make up for the increased costs of buying new controllers every few months, and they never made that mistake ever again.
-
The rattling plastic in the controller was a nice detail that i forgot about until now 😂
-
One important bit about the Mad Catz Rockband 3 controllers is that they were also MIDI controllers that musicians could use. Not super powerful, but that keytar controller was frequently available new for $20 or less! I used one for keyboard solos in my band for years, and still have it - works perfectly. Works with any of my synthesizers.
-
the duality of Mad Catz having great Fightsticks but then dog water controllers has always been so strange to me
-
Uhg, these controllers were always the ones that you would get when you asked for a second controller for Christmas, because you parents didn't know the difference!
-
My brother and I have a long-running joke about the price of Mad Catz stock. They don’t really exist anymore so it’s like a fraction of a cent per share so sometimes I’ll bust out some pocket change and go “Wanna go buy Mad Catz?”
-
I had a green mad cats controller for the Game Cube, worked surprisingly well. Genuinely seemed about on par with my regular controllers, it was my controller of choice simply because I liked green. Maybe I was just a gentle child but it lasted as well. Up until my GameCube got stolen, but still.
-
I had a Mad Catz memory card for my PS1. 12 hours after playing Final Fantasy 7 the card failed and I lost my save data. It was soul crushing. I quickly learned trying to save that $6 on a memory card was just not worth the headache.
-
The fact Madcatz lasted until 2017 truly amazes me.
-
This guy's voice is awesome, he even SOUNDS like he's from the 90s and I'm here for it
-
Plot twist - Adam was the friend who offered Shane the Mad Catz controller to play Mario Kart 64. :P
