Mad Catz Interactive Inc. announced a new range of products featuring the Company's new GameSmart(TM) technology. Initial products in the range include the R.A.T.(M) mobile gaming mouse, the F.R.E.Q.(M) headset, the M.O.U.S.(9) wireless mouse, and the C.T.R.L.(R) wireless gamepad. In addition to delivering edge gaming performance on PC, Mac and in some instances consoles, GameSmart products are designed to extend the core gaming experience to supporting smart devices.

GameSmart offers mobile game developers and publishers standardization, ease of implementation and scalability when enabling controller and console-like accessory functionality in mobile games. GameSmart control products will function through the Bluetooth(R) Smart stack, will be game and hardware independent, and will feature simplified setup, longer battery life and universal compatibility. The R.A.T.(M) is the first mouse to combine Bluetooth Smart technology and a gaming grade laser sensor, providing market leading battery life, universal compatibility and the performance expected from a R.A.T. gaming mouse.

Delivering up to a one year battery life, the R.A.T.(M) is compatible with a multitude of devices from PC and Mac through to next generation TV's and tablets. For devices that do not feature Bluetooth Smart mouse support, the R.A.T.(M) comes equipped with a nano dongle.
