Saitek sold

Recommended Posts

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.

What is this mean for continuing support for the Cyborg Evo sticks? Will they continue in making SST and drivers for Vista and etc?

afaik it's business as usual at least in the short term (~a year anyway I would think).
