If we didn’t already know those cats were mad about customizable controllers , we just got a reminder: the Mad Catz Major League Gaming Pro-Circuit Controllers. These professional-grade PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers allow competitive gamers to regulate the gamepad’s weight and swap out key components — comparable to exchanging the controller’s analog stick for hasta hoy-pad. Want your PS3 controller to have a Xbox 360 layout? No problem. If the insane kitty’s ambitious Onza competitor isn’t your thing, take a look at the MLG Tournament Edition Fightstick, featuring the identical Sanwa Denshi components utilized in Japanese arcade cabinets. It could not have its sibling’s stick-swapping action, but its 13-foot controller cable, classic layout, and left-right stick toggle mode (for emulating the missing analog thumbstick) still aims to thrill. The Arcade Fightstick may be had now on the GameShark store to the tune of $160, however the Pro-Circuit gamepads aren’t due out until towards the tip of the year. Hit the break for a couple of additional pictures and the traditional PR.
