R.A.T.M GameSmart Mouse
Posted in: Today's Chili
[CES 2013] Mad Catz has made quite the splash at CES Unveiled, with the introduction of the R.A.T.M GameSmart mouse that will merge Bluetooth Smart technology alongside a gaming grade laser sensor into a single gaming peripheral. According to Mad Catz, this would come with market leading battery life so that you would not run out of steam during the most crucial of gaming moments. We are looking at up to a year of battery life on this bad boy, although just how many hours of gaming does it take to last that long remains to be seen.
The R.A.T.M will play nice with a whole host of devices that range from PC and Mac to next generation TVs and tablets. For those of you who own devices that lack Bluetooth Smart mouse support, the R.A.T.M will even come equipped with a nano dongle. Platforms that run Windows 8 with native Bluetooth Smart mouse support will see the R.A.T.M hook up directly without any issues.
Hardware features include an adjustable palm rest, a dozen action buttons (10 of which are programmable), and a power efficient 6400DPI twin-eye laser sensor. The R.A.T.M will rely on an all new Windows and Mac compatible drag-and-drop programming interface, so that gamers can intuitively program commands with speed.

MadCatz teases GameSmart peripherals: hardware that plays nice with multiple devices
Posted in: Today's Chili 
MadCatz isn’t ready to divulge all it has in store for CES, but it’s given us a taste of what’s to come by teasing its new GameSmart initiative, which offers an alternative to futzing with a cornucopia of device-specific peripherals. Hardware carrying the GameSmart moniker uses Bluetooth Smart tech to pair with devices ranging from smartphones to tablets — and presumably other Bluetooth-equipped hardware. The firm says it’ll include an app to add functionality to peripherals and it expects the tech will help game developers bridge differences between platforms by offering standardized controllers. Though MadCatz is waiting for CES to pull the curtains back on a raft of GameSmart gamepads, keyboards, mice and headsets, it says the hardware will launch shortly after it’s unveiled.
