I never used Mad Catz products, so I can't really say anything about them.

Do you think the carbon is worth keeping an eye on?

Also, do I need ds4windows for it? It says it's a ps4 stick.

Can't say I'm surprised, the products I'd see from them always felt rather cheap.

They always seemed like you'd be lucky to get a hand full of uses out of them before they crapped out.

It depends on the game. In SFV it works after you configure it in the game same with SF4 & KoF13. some games yeah you will need a 3rd party tool. I use this for killer instinct. https://github.com/stents-/XOutput/releases . & yeah its worth the watch i plan one getting it myself as a backup stick in case my Hori fighting edge dies. also it PS4,PS3/PC stick.

To all those trashing their controllers, they actually made really good arcade sticks for fighting games. I'll be sad to see them go.

That's only 1 model of arcade stick compared to the other controllers people don't like....

Ahh I remember their shitty controllers. They broke a lot and my little brother always had to use them.

Good riddance. Atleast saitek was sold off to logitech. Madcatz made saitek qc go completely downhill.

Those were shit too.

there was a certain controller they had, i think back in the PS2 days that I had, that I loved. It was a lot nicer than the 'OEM' sony controllers. 

That said, I haven't used any of their products in a LOOOONG time. I wasn't even aware they were still around...

I respectfully disagree. Their TE and pro series sticks were affordable compared to other options, used sanwa joysticks and pushbuttons, quick disconnects for easy button replacement, and were highly customizable with aftermarket accessories. It was a game changer when you look at other sticks at the time that had knockoff buttons/sticks soldered directly to a PCB. Before the TE, you either had to heavily mod retail sticks, pay a fortune for something authentic, or build your own. Sure, now you have other companies in that space doing the same thing, but I don't think the market for it would have been the same without their products.

Their FightSticks were cool, tho.

[WolfDeville]

I never liked any of their products.
