hey MarkMan would you happen to know the ETA on the TE’S for the PS3, July maybe?
Markman, I have never bought a Mad Catz TE but if the finished stick looks as good as this one, you got a customer right here.
bottom panel makes the stick look like Air Jordan XII’s
Anyone know if their using the same PCB in the TE, TEs or is it a brand new PCB? Looks good btw!!
That is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Bright colors I can handle, but that shape has no style. It’s chunky.
So is he saying that the bottom is “soft” for people with sharp knees, or that he doesnt like the bottom of this stick either and it’ll change? Oh Mark you are such an enigma.
LOL either way I’m sure ill buy one of these… damn this collector blood in my veins.
fat geeks need love too.
i’m here to make love.
I love you. :lovin:
this stick one is offially licensed, just like the chun stick, its got the PS logo on the home button, maybe it shares the same PCB?
Were they going for a retro look? I’m just curious as to what the design intent was. Why the lip on the top/back side? Are the ridges on the side to prevent slipping?
The lip is for storing your pencil when you’re in the lab, so it doesn’t roll off. Also girls can keep their lipstick there. The side ridges are part of a locking system for installation into the new Mad Catz personal mech (nuclear generator not included) which has swappable control panels. The storage compartment in the back is for your weed.

You can see here that if Daigo had a pencil on the stick, the lip would have prevented it from rolling off. Unfortunately his weed might have fallen out since he didn’t close the weed storage compartment; luckily the door is hinged at the top so it didn’t. On Hori models, with the hinge at the bottom, he might have been exposed.
I think the overhang in back might prevent the Select/Back & Home buttons from being pressed when the stick is pushed up against something flat, like the back of a chair.

This must be the new stick bag. Looks pretty decent.
Is Infiltration using a Voltech stick in that picture?
I must admit when I first saw the new Madcatz stick I immediately thought Tupperware BUT it is really starting to grow on me and I like it now. I hope they build them in a more universal colour like black and white.
I just dont know. I wouldnt get it in that flaming red. Also looks like there isnt as much room for art. I dont see screws like on the other TE’s for plexi etc. I like the front slope. Its one of the things I like better on the SE but it looks like it isnt actually functional in those pics. Its mainly cosmetic.
I always feel like the buttons are too close the the stick, which is why I prefer customs.
Edit:
Oh man I want that eTokki stick.
Shipping is going to hurt though.
At least that new mad catz bag looks awesome!
There are actually two Mad Catz bags available.
I know because I saw.
Sweet, I def wants! Hope they have a good price point. Can’t wait for them! Hope they come out soon.
What was the difference between the two? Did MarkMan (or another Madcatz rep) talk pricing?!? Can’t speak for others but I can’t justify ~$50 (after shipping) for a stick bag (I’m looking at you Hori, LOL!) regardless if my stick’s worth $30 or $300.
