The S.T.R.I.K.E.TE features multi-zone illuminated backlighting, dedicated macro buttons and advanced programming software capable of calibrating multiple keystroke macros to within 1/1000th of a second.

Our S.T.R.I.K.E. keyboards are designed to lift the bar in performance. The S.T.R.I.K.E.TE complements the range perfectly and services the ever-growing community of e-sports professional gamers, said Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz.

Mad Catz Announces the M.M.O.TE Tournament Edition Gaming Mouse For PC and Mac

Tournament-Grade Gaming Mouse Targets Competitive MMO Gaming Community with Its Ultra-Lightweight Chassis and High-Precision Performance

San Diego August 13, 2014 Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (Mad Catz) (NYSE MKT/TSX: MCZ) announced today the M.M.O.TE Gaming Mouse. Designed in conjunction with e-sports professionals, the M.M.O.TE is a tournament-focused addition to the Companys award-winning R.A.T. range of gaming mice, and has been created to service the needs of the competitive MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) gaming community.

Joining the already released R.A.T.TE, the M.M.O.TE is an evolution of the Companys award-winning M.M.O.7 Gaming Mouse, and has been created to appeal directly to the e-sports professional. Unlike the R.A.T. TE, the M.M.O.TE targets MMO gamers specifically, delivering a finely-tuned specialty mouse with an ultra-lightweight chassis and high-precision performance. In addition, a new ergonomic design places up to 60 programmable commands at the fingertips of the gamer, all instinctively available via intelligent button placement.

The M.M.O.TE utilizes lightweight materials to reduce inertia, while speed and accuracy is enhanced with a new, fully-adjustable 8200 DPI sensor. Customizable attributes such as lift-off height calibration and dynamic surface detection provide gamers an edge through the ability to tailor their mouse to their personal playing style.

MMO games are a staple of competitive gaming, and Mad Catz is dedicated to providing the tournament gamer with specialty hardware, said Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz. We believe the launch of our M.M.O.TE GamingMousewill allow us to continue growing our market share in PC gaming through products designed specifically for the professional gaming community.
