I love this controller.

I'm a huge game geek, I currently game on Ps4, PC, Wii U, Xbox One, 3DS and now IOS. I've only fairly recently discovered that there are some fantastic (console quality) games to be played on mobile these days but let's face it, for the most part, touchscreen controls suck. So I decided to pony up for a controller. After much review reading, I decided to go for the Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i, I use a Mad Catz R.A.T 7 gaming mouse on my PC which I upgraded to from a R.A.T 3 so I already knew that this company make quality products. This controller is no exception, despite not feeling as premium as the ps4's dual shock 4 and the Xbox one controller, it still feels strong enough and well made. I had slight concerns about the phone clip being a little weak when I first got it but after several months of use, those concerns have gone away. The battery life on the controller is fantastic, I could tell you how many hours it will last, as that will vary depending on the batteries you use but I am really impressed with how well it lasts.

The are two reasons I have given this a 4 star and not a perfect 5. The first reason being the biggest let down, which I knew going in but still a let down, is that the analogue sticks aren't buttons (no L3 or R3 buttons) which for a controller that's got almost everything else you'd want, just seems a little stupid to have missed them off, especially considering the price of the controller, which is the second complaint I have about the controller. Whilst not technically being an issue with the controller itself, for the price of this, it would have been nice to see a completely full featured controller i.e, clickable analogue sticks and a rechargeable battery perhaps.

All that being said, this is still a very good controller for all the things that it does get right and a solid choice for any mobile gamer looking for a more console like experience from their iPhone/iPad.

Overall, it is a great controller. Personally, I think there should be more games compatible (I know there are already a lot but still). Anyway, the size is just right to handle. All the buttons work well. I would recommend it!

The moment I set this up the A button was sticking - it was constantly getting a reading and when pressing A the B button would get a reading! utter rubbish especially considering its not cheap or an unknown brand. Currently waiting to hear back from support

I bought this to use with my Apple TV 4 which I use for gaming and emulation via Provenance. I was on the lookout for a decent controller but the Nimbus and Hori were way too expensive especially seeing as I needed two for multiplayer.

I wasn't expecting much from this controller but I've been pleasantly surprised. It's very well built and feels nice in the hand. The controls are responsive with very little input lag over Bluetooth. There's just the right amount of give in the analog sticks too and they're stiff enough that they are acceptable to use on older games such as Street Fighter 2 or Mario. This is great seeing as the DPad isn't up to much but it works ok if you need it.

The only downside to this controller is the lack of L3 and R3. I can't see myself using them anyway but it'd be nice to have them all the same.

It's great value for money and the added bonus of the phone adapter (which is incredibly sturdy and large enough for my 6S Plus) is an added bonus and gives it an edge over some of the other Apple TV compatible controllers.

If you're looking for an Apple TV 4 controller, look no further. Grab it while it's cheap!!

Although this device will connect to older Apple devices via Bluetooth, its only devices with the lightening charging port it will actually work with.

Colour: Black Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
It certainly works but I think comparisons with the Xbox 360 controller are off base. I'm not fussy, but it felt a bit unresponsive to me, possibly down to controller dead-spots.

I've used the Moga Bluetooth controllers on iOS in the past and it's well-supported, but the standard Moga unit is uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time and while the Pro is better it's still not great.

There are a bunch of games that support this Mad Catz controller, but really only a few take advantage of the analogue controls. It is WAY better than using on-screen controls but still felt a bit spongey to me.

You can take your iPhone, cradle it in the dock and play some games the way they were intended without touching the screen. I haven't been able to get it to work consistently with an Android phone so don't buy it thinking you can just pair it. It's fairly comfortable but not a patch on an 360 controller, more like a Playstation controller despite the layout.

3.5 out of 5.

When I were a lad, Mad Catz were a cheap alternative to official controllers: a bit fragile, with rubbish spongy buttons, but better than nothing. Noting the many "solidly built" comments and the premium price, I thought they'd moved upmarket. They have not. It's like playing with a blancmange. The clip for your phone actually works quite well, but it's as flimsy as the rest of the device, so not confident it will last. Also, after two weeks the buttons have started to stick on one side. I haven't exactly been hammering it. Still rubbish, then.

Update: the left shoulder button has stopped working entirely. All the buttons are very noisy and plasticky so I think it's down to the poor quality of manufacture. I'm going to return it. I'd recommend controllers in general, as it makes a big difference in supporting games; just not this one.
