Mad Catz' C.T.R.L.^R Mobile Gamepad provides familiar gamepad controls – physical action and shoulder buttons, D-Pad, and analog sticks – to unleash your phone's gaming capabilities at home and on the go. Paired with the Mad Catz A.P.P., you can adjust profiles and settings to customize C.T.R.L.^R for an ever-expanding list of controller-compatible games (visit madcatz.com/compatibility/ctrlr to view compatible games).

Futureproof via dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0 module

A first for gaming peripherals, this version C.T.R.L.^R employs a premium dual-mode Bluetooth 4.0 chip to ensure power-efficient compatibility with current Bluetooth Classic devices. Courtesy of a USB to Micro-USB port, future firmware updates will help ensure compatibility with upcoming Bluetooth Smart, also known as Bluetooth 4.0 or Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) devices. Future updates will also boost power efficiency and minimize latency.

Power-saving hero

Thanks to integrated Bluetooth technology, the C.T.R.L.^R is outstanding at power conservation. The included AAA batteries provide energy for up to 40 hours of continuous control over your favorite games, apps, and media.

Perfect complement to M.O.J.O. and Fire TV

Residing at the center of the GameSmart ecosystem, M.O.J.O. makes your favorite mobile games even better. Ideal for multiplayer gaming, a secondary C.T.R.L.^R lets you and a friend play together on M.O.J.O.

Amazon Fire TV is compatible with game controllers that support the Bluetooth HID gamepad profile. Since C.T.R.L.^R adheres to this profile, it's an excellent full-size controller for Fire TV.

Integrated media control

A super-convenient set of multimedia buttons – right on the face of the controller – adds remote-control functionality. Easily start and stop playback of a movie, jump to the next song, and make quick volume adjustments.

Release your phone's inner gaming console

Do you know how powerful your smartphone already is? Chances are, your current-gen mobile phone is capable of running games and applications equal to those of PCs and consoles. Not just Angry Birds, but core first-person shooters, driving simulators and so much more! By adding just a C.T.R.L.^R and a suitable HDMI video adapter (sold separately) to your phone, you can enjoy amazing big-screen gaming on your TV, in high-definition, the likes of which you never thought possible.

Three modes, total control

PC Mode provides operability with PCs and Mac computers, while GameSmart Mode controls Android devices such as the M.O.J.O Micro-Console. And when in Mouse Mode the controller functions as a mouse control for Bluetooth-connected devices by assigning navigation to the left analog stick and action buttons.

Mad Catz A.P.P. mobile and desktop software

GameSmart products come with an intuitive software application which helps you get the most value from your new purchase. The downloadable Mad Catz A.P.P. for Android provides the ability to monitor battery levels, adjust Mouse Mode settings, and view the input of axes and buttons.

PC users can customize and then assign game-specific profiles to the controller. If your game lacks HID gamepad input, compatibility is attainable by assigning keyboard and mouse commands to the controller’s buttons and sticks. The software clearly identifies each programmable area of the C.T.R.L.^R, and programming is very straightforward.

Travel-ready

Perfect for replacing touch controls with console-like controller functionality, a detachable and adjustable travel clip lets you mount your device directly atop the C.T.R.L.^R Mobile Gamepad (minimum device width 2.3 inches/58.6mm; maximum device width 3.17 inches/80.5mm).

Powerful multiplatform GameSmart technology
