Mad Catz is not new to strange designs. With the new S.T.R.I.K.E. M, the manufacturer is showing its vision of a mouse+keyboard combo to play on the couch.
To solve the problem about couch gaming, which is definitely not comfortable if you're using a keyboard, mixing up mouse and keyboard's functions into one device with a very strange design.
Despite its reduced size and irregular lines, the S.T.R.I.K.E. M features everything you might need: alphabetical and punctuation keys, multimedia buttons in the top left corner right beside a wheel, an optical mouse featuring 6 keys in the top right corner. Basically everything you need to control a PC.
The S.T.R.I.K.E. M will be available in 3 colors, red, black and white, and it features a battery that should be enough for 45 hours of gaming. To be honest we don't think this is a great solution to play on the couch, but we will be more than glad to change our mind if we have the chance to try it. There are no further informations about pricing or release date.
