It’s hard to believe that it’s been 30 years since Mad Catz first arrived on the gaming scene, and the evolution of digital entertainment has been staggering to behold. Mad Catz shares the same values of innovation, value, and quality as we did all those years ago and we can’t wait to share our future plans with the community in the year ahead. The R.A.T.mouse has been a jewel in our range for some time now and we believe the limited-edition R.A.T.8+ 1000 is the ideal way to celebrate such a milestone. – Joane Huang, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing for Mad Catz Global Limited
