Mad Catz MW2 Officially Licensed Accessories

As many of you that closely follow all things CoD may know, last week marked the reveal of the full lineup of MW2 licensed accessories from Mad Catz. Get ready to deck yourself out in full MW2 glory! Let us know which MW2 accessories you'll be picking up!



A specialized controller for Modern Warfare 2, the Combat Controller will incorporate rubber grips and a soft-touch finish for prolonged frag sessions. Additionally the controller will include two buttons toward the rear of the controller, which allows players to remap action buttons or thumbstick commands on the fly, allowing users to relocate melee or sprint commands to rear buttons for added control. As an aesthetic touch, the Combat Stick will feature thumbstick backlighting and a durable braided USB cable for extra visual panache. Aside from the clear visual variations, the PS3 controller will depart from the Xbox 360 design in that it utilizes a 2.4GHz wireless system with internal rechargeable battery for up to 60 hours of gameplay.

Both variations of the Modern Warfare 2 Combat Controller will retail for $49.99.




The MW2 Throat Communicator's design is taken directly from military designs and reduces background noise by providing direct contact communication. Additionally, the Throat Communicator will finish authentic graphics and will be fully compatible with the Xbox 360 controller and the Combat Controller from Mad Catz.

The Throat Communicator will have an MSRP of $29.99.





The Modern Warfare 2 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth Technology is a headset specialized for use with the PlayStation 3 but can also be paired with a host of Bluetooth enabled devices. The headset will feature similar graphics to the throat communicator and utilizes Bluetooth 2.0 technology.

The Modern Warfare 2 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth Technology will be available for $39.99.





PC gamers will also be getting the love from Mad Catz with the company offering four new MW2-geared products, including a Combat GamePad, Sniper Mouse, Combat Keyboard, and Elite Keyboard. The Combat GamePad will feature Modern Warfare 2 artwork, four action buttons, four trigger buttons, and an eight-way D-pad. The GamePad will be preprogrammed for MW2, however, it will also ship with software that allows users to reprogram the action buttons to suit their personal preference.

The GamePad will be fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista, and XP and retail for $24.99.

The Modern Warfare Sniper Mouse is a precision mouse geared toward FPS games and incorporates a weight cartridge that allows users to add or subtract included weights to match their preference. Like the GamePad, the Sniper Mouse includes software for programming the function buttons and will be emblazoned with custom MW2 art. The Sniper Mouse will cost $49.99.

The two keyboards offered by Mad Catz for MW2 include a Combat Keyboard and an Elite Keyboard. The Combat Keyboard is the more affordable of the two at $49.99, and will include anti-ghosting, Windows key lock, media keys for volume and playback control, and a weighted base. The Elite Keyboard, on the other hand, is based on the Cyborg keyboards line and will have all sorts of bells and whistles, including multi-color keyboard backlighting, adjustable brightness controls, Tru-Vu illumination for ambient lighting with colors ranging from red to amber to green. Additionally, the Elite Keyboard will have a touch-sensitive dashboard for media controls, and independent illumination settings for the WASD, cursor, and number pad keys for added visual recognition. Other features include twelve programmable macro keys, durable metal plated key caps, and gold-plated USB and microphone input passthrough. Like the other PC accessories, the Elite Keyboard is fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista, and XP and will include custom programming software. The Elite Keyboard will cost $99.99.





For those who want to deck their gaming gear out with Modern Warfare 2 art, Mad Catz is also offering a series of custom console skins, faceplates, and controller faceplates. The company will be producing controller faceplates emblazoned with official art from Infinity Ward in a high gloss finish for both PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers. Also available this November will be custom MW2 Faceplates and Console Skinz for Xbox 360, which will again, feature licensed art for $29.99.

I guess I won't be getting the Sniper Mouse then. I thought it'd be a bargain basement product, like most of the MadCatz stuff I've seen.

It seems a matter of personal opinion. Anything I've bought by MadCatz has nearly always been terrible. However, I'll give them their dues. The USB cord I bought for my PSP was high quality. The controllers I got ages ago for my PS1s and PS2s were not though.

i am definitely getting a Combat Controller for the 360! i like the idea that they made it for the people that will play MW2. it was a great decision by Infinity Ward to come out with this controller.

The controller seems a little sketchy.....I am kindof skeptical about the mic, but i purchased it anyway. I should be receiving it in the mail today.....I guess i'll find out tonight.....

i might look at the controller but not the mic cuz i already have an Playstation Eye which is a camera and a mic all in 1 so im good there but the only thing i dont understand is what are the "Combat Buttons?????" what do they do???

combat button make it so you never have to take ur finger off the trigger, you can program the back buttons to ur needs so u never have to move your hands lol, the mic for xbox i got yest. (came in early) it is decent but if you have a good mic dont waste your money, I dont think Im gonna get a controller since I got the mic but who noes... lol i also said i wouldnt buy the guide and i out 10 down on the LE guide yest. haha

Ok so I got the mic today....It's alright.....From what i understand I sound muffled and it seems to have a little background interference......

I think it was a good concept, but should have been investigated and developed more....its a very simple mic.....

I'll give it a 3 out of 5........

I wish they were exactly like the MS controllers (for the 360 versions). You cannot beat that design. I love that feel the best compared to other controllers.

How and where? Because these arent being shipped yet.

Has anybody ever used anything like the throat communicator thing ,very interested in this item just dont like something clasping at my neck if that what it does.Cheers.
Had a few headphones for the xbox360 but never seem to last very long.

I bought the throat mic and its probably the worst thing ever made for Xbox 360 and that inc viva pinniata.

It was a damn waste of money .errrrggghhh

that mic is ok i donot like it alot

I bought the bluetooth mic, it works great. 2 gripes I have for it though, each time you turn it on you have to manually connect it to the PS3, something I didnt have to do with my Plantronics 220, once I turned it on it immediately was recognized by the PS3. The other gripe is the piece that goes into the ear is just a tad too big, after a couple hours of wearing it, it starts to feel uncomfortable, but I just switch it to the other ear, so its not so bad.

Comes with a USB charge cable, so you can charge it directly from your PS3 or any computer! Overall I believe it is worth the $40.

looks really nice I want one.
