Already everyone is used to the fact that all the laurels for the most extravagant things at various exhibitions of electronics, computer technology and no less computer peripherals go to the company Razer. At least, this rule has always been the case with the international electronics exhibition CES. However, this year the company Mad Catz was able to surprise visitors to the exhibition so much that everyone actually forgot about such a giant as Razer.
Look at the photo above. What do you see? Four gamepad? Not really. In fact, you are looking at four different configurations of a single gamepad Mad Catz LYNX 9 worth 300 dollars.
In the folded state, it fits perfectly even in not the most spacious pocket.
And bending away a special clip, you get a convenient gamepad for playing on your smartphone.
Need a full gamepad? Bend back two metal handles and get a very convenient game controller with analog sticks ...
... and also an optical touchpad and mouse buttons that duplicate the mouse for working with PCs, managing media functions, and a built-in microphone for voice control, for example, with your Android-enabled devices. Ultimate controller from Mad Catz offers convenient analog sticks, convenient buttons, convenient D-pad and even the presence of analog triggers.
Want a more comfortable grip? Simply connect special expanders that will provide a more comfortable layout of the game controller in your hands.
Need to print something, but a full keyboard is not around? We connect to the bottom end of the gamepad a miniature QWERTY keyboard - and create the most versatile controller for controlling your computer.
Almost did not forget: by pressing a special button in the center of the gamepad, you can detach the handles ...
... and then attach them to a special base that can be attached to any 7-inch tablet for a more comfortable game.
The cost of the whole set will be 300 dollars. The package will also include an HDMI cable that allows you to connect mobile devices to your TV and display a picture of the game on the big screen. According to the representatives of the company Mad Catz, one battery charge of their new controller will last up to 30 hours of active play.
What are you saying? Do real gamers use only the mouse and keyboard? In this case, you need a mouse RAT Pro X, which is no less insane than the above gamepad. If you were not familiar with the computer game mice of the RAT line from Mad Catz, you should first of all know that almost every one of them can be adjusted to the size of your palm: the side panels for the thumb and little finger can be replaced with larger panels, (and even the height) of the sub-panel for a more convenient arrangement of your hand, not to mention the possibility of increasing the weight of the mouse due to the additional weights in the kit.
But this time the new mouse RAT Pro X also allows you to remove the laser sensor and replace it with another, for example, optical. At the same time, the company plans to start releasing other versions of the sensor after the official release of the mouse. Thus, the mouse RAT Pro X will receive a huge reserve for the future, and if necessary, the player in a new level of accuracy of the game manipulator to buy a new mouse is not necessary. Sufficient will only replace the outdated sensor. In addition, the new gaming mouse offers the possibility of changing the legs. Teflon, installed initially, it will be possible to replace the ceramic ones if desired.
The wheel of the scrolling of the game mouse underwent a huge modification. Now it has its own independent optical sensor and a mechanism that allows to fine-tune the level of force required for each scrolling of one division. In addition, there is a change in the surface of the wheel. If desired, the rubberized "tire" can be replaced by a metal one.
The scroll wheel itself is mounted on an analogue rocker. Due to this, pressing the wheel to the left or right will not be accompanied by a corresponding click - the wheel will now work as an analog joystick.
The sub-panel of the mouse can now be tilted and locked up to 15 degrees to the right or left, which makes the grip even more ergonomic.
Comfort in the management of this manipulator is added and the materials used here: the mouse buttons are covered with a superhydrophobic coating, which reduces the accumulation of sweat on them during a very intense game. The magnesium alloy frame allows to generally reduce the weight of the gaming mouse. Well, carbon fiber inserts on the thumb panel are used because ... because carbon fiber looks cool, that's why!
On the price of the mouse RAT Pro X, unfortunately, so far nothing is known. However, it will go on sale in the second quarter of this year. Gamepad on the shelves of computer stores, we can see in March.
