Top Comments of this video!! :3
I was at a GameStop when they had a Mad Catz promotion. Line of people at the counter, clerk picks up the phone. "Thank you for calling GameStop, the home of Mad Catz. Get a new controller for your console made with the same quality as an original PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo controller." We all started laughing at him until he cracks and tells us "Corporate makes us say that or we could be fired."

Important omission: Mad Catz was a driver of high quality fightsticks in the late 2000's and early 2010's. This shocked pretty much everyone when it happened. I remember buying the 360 Tournament Edition fightstick and thinking, "Wow, I've hated Mad Catz for almost 15 years and now I'm dropping $150 on this stick." They've held up well, although they've gotten some serious competition (I switched over to the Razer sticks in the PS4 era, but they resemble the 360/PS3 Mad Catz sticks).
But yeah, it must be pointed out that Mad Catz did a great job destroying their reputation long before these became a thing.

My parents made the mistake of buying a Mad Catz controller once. It was for the GameCube, and the control stick quickly lost the ability to respond to upwards inputs. They immediately realized that the money saved on per-controller costs did not make up for the increased costs of buying new controllers every few months, and they never made that mistake ever again.

As a relatively poor gamer growing up, I've owned my fair share of Mad Catz controllers. While they were NEVER great, I don't remember having as much issues with their build quality initially, for me they worked fine out of the box for awhile, but wore out FAST. Especially after a few rounds of Smash or Mario Party, those controllers just weren't built with longevity in mind.

One important bit about the Mad Catz Rockband 3 controllers is that they were also MIDI controllers that musicians could use. Not super powerful, but that keytar controller was frequently available new for $20 or less! I used one for keyboard solos in my band for years, and still have it - works perfectly. Works with any of my synthesizers.

Anytime I hear Mad Catz I’m just reminded of that Scott the Woz video. “If you run into a building constructed by Mad Catz get the f out of there.”
