    @MarkMan: I would be excited, but there doesn't seem to be anything 'high-end' and specialized for the consoles, which means to expect those items to be the quality typically expected from Mad Catz in that range.

    Comparison: the SFIV tourney stick was great outside of a boxing/shipping error causing a scratch, but both of my arcade (edit: SE) sticks (and many other peoples') came broke as a joke Day 1. Not that we weren't replacing the parts anyway, but the expectations have been set and reinforced many times over for Mad Catz' lower-end products.

    That's pretty sweet. I like the idea of the custom controller. I loved that Halo 3 had a controller set up that allowed you to put the melee button on the Right thumbstick to keep you from having to move your thumb for that quick second. Depeneding on how comfortable those buttons are, I can see the competition in MW2 going way up.

    I wouldn't mind the idea of a throat mic for PC, though I guess you don't need a mad catz one.

    I believe that if I purchase a Combat or Elite Keyboard, together with a Sniper Mouse, my gaming on the Personal Computer platform will improve by hundreds of percents.

    I wonder who initiated the partnership.

    MC benefits, obviously, by making peripherals for big name games. They rode on the coattails of a big name game before and it paid of big time.

    I'm sure Capcom made a significant amount of money from licensing the sticks so I'm guessing AV hopes to profit the same way. The TE sticks were great thanks to the quality parts in them. That been said, I dont see how this would take off, unless MC improves the quality of their own controllers.

    I'm skeptical but we'll see how it goes. The SE sticks were decent enough for those who were never exposed to a high quality stick before, so hopefully, they've increased the quality of their own brand since then.

    Sniper mouse. Combat keyboard. Elite keyboard.

    Dear me, who are they paying to come up with these ideas? I'm glad to see that even in this harsh financial climate, there are still people with undeserving jobs.

    The throat communicator sounds alright, that is if it isn't just a skinned headset. The rest is absolute garbage. Sniper mouse, really? Sigh.

    A throat mic!? I don't know whether to think that this is cool or ridiculous.

    So I'll take a little from column A, and a little from Column B.

    Still no pictures? D: Very curious as to how those controllers are shaped.

    Also, extra buttons to remap the analog stick click-in buttons would be great. I don't play console shooters much, but I absolutely can't accurately navigate an analog stick and push in that button at the same time. Especially not comfortably.
