Mad Catz would like to take this opportunity to put gamers’ minds at ease. With the exception of a small quantity of controllers sold before 2008, we believe that all Mad Catz products will continue to function as they did prior to the 3.50 Firmware update including high profile products such as our range of Street Fighter IV™ FightSticks and Wireless FightPads; our range of controllers and accessories for Call of Duty®; our Cyborg F.L.Y. 9 Wireless FlightStick; our wired and wireless control pads; and our range of Rock Band™ accessories.

Any consumer who owns a Mad Catz product and is experiencing an issue, including an issue with the PlayStation 3 Firmware update should contact Mad Catz customer services. Providing the product is within warranty, Mad Catz will be happy to offer a suitable replacement.


There have been many complaints of compatibility issues following the 3.50 update, which have been posted on the Official PlayStation forums. If you're still experiencing problems I'd advise that you contact MadCatz.

Whats ?
That nothing to do with this /facepalm

Reason the controllers no longer work is mad catz sold a unlicensed controller. So sony updated the FW not to allow them any more.
