MWEB GameZone's Holden ZA takes an in depth look at the features and performance in a comprehensive review.
With a modular design that allows users to interchange elements of the controller to their own preference, the MLG Pro Circuit controller is understandably dubbed as one of the most innovative controllers currently out on the market.
Rich of Xboxer360 writes, "The MLG Pro Circuit Controller, released by Mad Catz, has been developed for MLG Pro players and comes exquisitely packaged showing off its MLG influence in a rather nice red and blue display box. The package also comes complete with a carry case so you needn't think that this display case will become the pad's new home when it's not in use. The case is rather basic but serves its purpose – ideal for transporting your new best friend to and from events or even a friend's house, you will most certainly not want to be without it!"
The Mad Catz MLG Pro Circuit Controller is, as far as I know, the first of its kind. A controller completely customizable and wired for professional gaming and tournament play is seemingly the ultimate console hardware accessory, but does the Mad Catz MLG Pro Circuit Controller live up to the hype for a PS3 gamer that's gaming on the Xbox 360?
Good, straight forward review! bottom line is, madcatz have made a very "tech heavy" "pretty" controller that has firmware issues a d-pad issue that they will take their sweet time addressing.... so I will take my sweet time buying it!
TheParanoidGamer Writes: Ten years ago, Sundance DiGiovanni and Mike Sepso founded Major League Gaming, a professional electronic sports organisation headquartered in New York that sought to elevate videogames tournaments to viable competitive and spectator events. In the last decade its Pro Circuit has hosted and broadcast countless national and international championships, awarding victors with monetary prizes exceeding tens of thousands of dollars. These competitions illustrate that playing games is more than a casual undertaking to some; it’s an opportunity to fund an education, or secure a future.
I wonder what the triggers are like on that controller. I find the triggers too stiff and narrow on my Xbox 360 controller so after a few hours of gameplay my trigger fingers feel a bit sore.
