"Mad Catz has been a permanent fixture in gaming for nearly three decades and we firmly believe it's best days lie ahead", said Selena Chang, Director of Sales and Operations for Mad Catz Global Limited in a release. Most of its assets were bought by an unknown Chinese holding company that was composed of people who worked in Mad Catz factories in China.

According to a press release today, Mad Catz is 'under new management, with new ideas, new attitude and most importantly, an entire range of new, high-quality gaming products!' More information about each of the new lines of Mad Catz products can be found on their site, so interested players have plenty of time between now and this year's CES to decide of they want to become customers again. They seem to be fairly similar in design to the Mad Catz equivalent mice of old in initial shape, albeit with a few design changes. For gamers preferring to use their own gaming surface, the R.A.T. also includes a robust USB cable in pack, instantly converting the R.A.T.to a wired mouse.

Comey shames Republican silence on Trump's attacks against Justice Dept and Federal Bureau of Investigation
Trump, of course, has constantly beaten the drum for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to reopen an investigation into Clinton. Neither the Foundation nor Nick Merrill , spokesman for Hillary Clinton , returned the Hill's request for comment.

We'll get our hands-on with these new peripherals when we're on the ground in Las Vegas next week at CES 2018.

Mad Catz are also planning a new RAT mouse, the Air.

New LG 4K UHD Projector Launching At CES
Aside from the above-mentioned features, the HU80KA also sports an Auto Cord, which allows the cable to rapidly wind up. LG is one of the companies that seem to be lining up a lot of products to be unveiled at the CES 2018 .

Anyway the mouse sounds pretty interesting as it offers wireless performance via power obtained directly from its gaming surface - i.e. fancy mouse-pad. The company is perhaps best known with gamers for its creation of third party controllers and other products of various shapes and sizes for PC and consoles, including everything from traditional controllers and memory cards through to more specialist products like racing wheels. Word is that this new Mad Catz will play it a lot safer, so don't expect EB Games to be flooded with Nintendo Switch magnifying screen attachments anytime soon.

KitGuru Says: It was a sad day when Mad Catz filed for bankruptcy but it looks like the peripheral maker has found its second life. "Mad Catz has been a permanent fixture in gaming for nearly three decades and we firmly believe it's best days lie ahead", said Selena Chang, director of sales and operations for Mad Catz Global Limited.
