Mad Catz Starts Shipping the C.T.R.L.i Gamepads

Mad Catz announced that the shipping of the Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i and Micro C.T.R.L.i Mobile Gamepads have begun. The only difference between the two models is that the micro is about 20% smaller and better fit for young gamers or people who just have smaller than average hands.

The new range of controllers is designed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and are the first controllers in the company’s GameSmart mobile product range designed for iPhone 5 to 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2 and 3, and 5th generation of the iPod touch (running iOS 7 or iOS 8).

With mobile gaming becoming more something that actually can be considered gaming, a high-quality gamepad is a welcome product. It features pressure-sensitive action buttons and D-Pad. Using low-power Bluetooth technology, the gamepads should provide up to 30 hours of gameplay via two AAA batteries.

The Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i app will allow you to update the firmware and provide input diagnostics for battery level, buttons, and axis input as well as displaying you a list of gamepad compatible iOS games. The price starts at £49.99 via Amazon UK.
