BUFF 8 Posted November 14, 2007 Major flight sim & PC gaming peripheral manufacturer Saitek has been sold to Mad Catz Inc for $30 million (seems cheap given the value of the $ atm). Saitek (originally started 28 years ago to make chess computers) was a private company wholly owned by it's founder Eric Winkler. There is certainly a synergy as Saitek appeared to have pulled out of making peripherals for XBox, Play Station etc. & that's obviously a Mad Catz strength whilst they were weak in PC peripherals where Saitek are strong. Mad Catz also recently bought another peripheral company, Joytech. http://www.saitek.co.uk/uk/info/pr_news5.htm http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?...&ID=1077796 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FalconC45 157 Posted November 14, 2007 What is this mean for continuing support for the Cyborg Evo sticks? Will they continue in making SST and drivers for Vista and etc? Falcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
