Are Mad Catz keyboards good for gaming?

Yes — Mad Catz keyboards are built around gaming, with RGB lighting and gaming-focused layouts at accessible prices. They suit casual to mid-level gamers who want a capable board without a flagship budget. Check each model's switch type and features on its product page to match it to your play style.

Do Mad Catz keyboards have mechanical or membrane switches?

It depends on the model — Mad Catz has offered both over the years. Mechanical boards give a firmer, more durable feel; membrane boards are quieter and more affordable. The switch type is listed on each keyboard's product page on this site.

Do Mad Catz keyboards work with PS5 and Xbox?

Console compatibility varies by model and console. Many USB keyboards work on PC and PlayStation, while Xbox support depends on the console recognising the device. Check the specific model's listing for stated console support, or use it on PC where compatibility is straightforward.

Which keyboard layout should I choose for gaming?

Tenkeyless or compact layouts free up mouse space and suit FPS players who use low sensitivity. Full-size boards keep the numpad for work and MMO play. Choose by your desk space and whether you need the number pad.

Do I need software to use a Mad Catz keyboard?

Basic typing and lighting usually work plug-and-play. Companion software, where supported, unlocks per-key lighting, macros and custom profiles. If you want your settings to carry between PCs, look for a model with onboard profile storage.

Are Mad Catz keyboards wired or wireless?

Both connection types appear across gaming keyboard ranges. Wired (USB) gives the lowest latency and no charging; wireless adds a tidier desk. For competitive gaming, wired or a low-latency 2.4GHz connection is preferable to Bluetooth — check the model's spec.

Do Mad Catz keyboards come with a warranty in South Africa?

Yes — keyboards bought from Evetech include local warranty cover, so any valid claim is handled here in South Africa without shipping the unit overseas. See the product page or contact our team for the exact warranty term on a specific model.

Mad Catz Keyboards

Mad Catz Gaming Keyboards ⌨️

Mad Catz is a long-running gaming-peripherals brand, and its keyboards are aimed at players who want a gaming-focused board with RGB lighting and a bold look without paying flagship prices. They suit everyday gaming and general PC use, from casual sessions to longer play.

When choosing a Mad Catz keyboard, focus on the basics that affect how it feels to use: switch type (mechanical for a tactile, durable feel; membrane for a quieter, lower-cost board), layout (full-size for a numpad, tenkeyless or compact to free up mouse space), and the lighting and software you want. Check the product specs on each model below for the exact features.

Every Mad Catz keyboard at Evetech ships with local warranty and fast nationwide delivery, backed by South Africa's largest gaming hardware retailer. Compare the models in stock below and pair your keyboard with a matching mouse and headset for a complete setup.

How to Choose a Mad Catz Keyboard

The right keyboard comes down to how it feels to type and game on, the layout that fits your desk, and the connection and features you need. Use the guide below to match a Mad Catz board to the way you play before you buy.

Mechanical switches give a distinct feel and longer rated lifespan, and come in linear (smooth, fast — popular for FPS), tactile (a bump for typing feedback) and clicky variants. Membrane keyboards are quieter and cheaper but feel softer and wear faster. Check each Mad Catz model's listing for the switch type it uses.

Full-size keyboards include a numpad, useful for work and MMO play. Tenkeyless (TKL) drops the numpad to give you more mouse room — handy for low-sensitivity FPS players. Compact 60/65% boards save the most desk space. Pick by desk space and whether you need a numpad.

Most Mad Catz gaming keyboards offer RGB lighting with adjustable effects and brightness. If you want per-key lighting, custom profiles or macro recording, check whether the model uses companion software or stores profiles onboard. Onboard storage means your settings follow the keyboard between PCs.

Wired keyboards (usually USB) give the lowest latency and never need charging, which is why most gamers prefer them. Wireless adds a cleaner desk and flexibility; for gaming, a low-latency 2.4GHz dongle is better than Bluetooth. Check the connection listed on each model.

Anti-ghosting and N-key rollover ensure simultaneous key presses all register — important in fast games where you hit several keys at once. Most gaming keyboards include this on the main gaming cluster or across the whole board; confirm the spec on the model you're considering.
