• Bottom Line

  The Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R Mobile Gamepad will give your Android device physical game controls with ease, although you'll have to work a little if you want to use it with your PC.

Most controllers are single-purpose and intended to work with a specific platform. Mad Catz takes a different tack with the C.T.R.L.R, a $49.99 Xbox 360-like controller built to work with several kinds of devices in different ways. As an Android controller it's nearly flawless and easily controls games on the Nvidia Shield , Amazon Fire TV, and Mad Catz' own M.O.J.O. Android console, as well as most Android smartphones and tablets. However, it tries to be a fully functional PC gamepad, too, and its PC support falls flat in most games. It's an excellent choice if you just need physical controls for your Android, but you can find better PC gamepad options (especially if you use our guide or a ControllerMAX CronusMAX to connect the Sony DualShock 4 gamepad to your system). And it's not intended for use with iOS devices at all.

Design
The C.T.R.L.R is built much like an Xbox 360 controller, with a pair of analog sticks placed unevenly on either half of the gamepad's face. The left (and higher) stick sits parallel with the four main face buttons on the right, and the right (and lower) stick sits parallel with the direction pad on the left. The face and shoulder buttons are all in the classic Xbox 360 configuration, with X, A, B, and Y face buttons, two prominent shoulder triggers, and two smaller shoulder bumpers. It even has standard Star and Select buttons in the center, flanking a large Mad Catz logo button that could easily be mistaken in shape and feel for an Xbox button.

A compartment on the back holds two included AAA batteries to power the gamepad, and Mad Catz claims the C.T.R.L.R can provide 40 hours of continuous playtime before you have to replace them. The compartment also hides a micro USB port, but that port is reserved only for updating the gamepad's firmware; you can't use the C.T.R.L.R as a wired controller.

While its layout is very familiar, the C.T.R.L.R sports some additional distinctive design elements that set it apart from a standard third-party gamepad. A screw mount for the included smartphone holder sits on the top edge of the controller, between the shoulder buttons. The holder is an angled arm with two large jaws holding rubberized pads. The jaws pull apart with spring tension, and close securely around any smartphone you wish to connect. When the holder isn't mounted, the screw mount is unobtrusive and easy to ignore.

Besides the smartphone holder, the C.T.R.L.R features several controls unique to its multi-platform nature. A row of playback buttons (Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind, Volume Up, and Volume Down) sit above the Mad Catz button, letting you use the controller as a media remote. A three-way sliding switch sits on the bottom edge of the gamepad, between the wing-like grips. This switch determines which mode the controller is in, for working with different devices.

Modes and Controls
The three different modes are each appropriate in different situations, depending on what you want to do and what device you want to use. The leftmost mode, GameSmart, functions as a Bluetooth gamepad for use with Android devices, including the Mad Catz M.O.J.O. and the Nvidia Shield Portable. The middle mode, Mouse, turns the left analog stick into a mouse-like controller for use with a PC. The right-most mode, PC, lets the gamepad work with computers just like GameSmart lets it work with Android devices.

As an Android device controller, the C.T.R.L.R works flawlessly. I paired it with an Nvidia Shield Portable and it worked just like the Shield's own built-in gamepad, complete with functional playback controls and the optional right analog stick mouse cursor control.

In my tests, the Mouse mode worked very well with my computer. The left analog stick moved the cursor around, giving me a pleasantly couch-friendly way to use the system.

Unfortunately, the C.T.R.L.R falters as a PC gamepad. Windows is prepared to work easily with an Xbox 360 game controller, and while it can detect non-Xbox 360 gamepads as basic HID controllers, and even correctly register their inputs, it has difficulty getting them to work with some games. Titles like Shovel Knight and Ducktales Remastered expect an Xbox 360 gamepad, and I simply couldn't get the C.T.R.L.R to work with them at all. Super Meat Boy recognized the gamepad, but I had to remap the controls manually. Jets N Guns Gold detected the gamepad as a mouse, even in non-mouse PC mode, and let me move the in-game cursor, but not actually do anything with my ship.

The free Mad Catz A.P.P. software offers key mapping for the gamepad's controls, but I found it awkward to use. This sort of problem can be fixed with a third-party input wrapper or program like Joy2Key, but it's disappointing to see spotty support out of the box for PCs, even with an official setup program. This has become a common issue, since most PC games now expect an Xbox 360 controller if a gamepad is used.

Gamepad Feel
Regardless of what platform you use, when the C.T.R.L.R works, it feels like a perfectly functional console gamepad. It's almost slavishly devoted to the time-tested Xbox 360 gamepad design, so console gamers will be right at home when playing games on their smartphones or tablets. The buttons and direction pad are responsive and the analog sticks feel sensitive without being twitchy.

The Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R might not be quite the catch-all gamepad the company envisioned, but it's an extremely capable controller for mobile devices—and, if you're willing to tinker with drivers, wrappers, and control mapping, can be a functional PC gamepad as well. It's a bit pricey at $50 with its spotty PC support and complete lack of game console and iOS compatibility, but it's an excellent accessory if you have any of the many devices with which it works.

Mad Catz Xbox Controller Driver

If you’re an experienced gamer, you’ve undoubtedly heard of Mad Catz Inc., makers of peripherals for every major gaming console and handheld system. The company also makes a very competent USB gamepad called the PC Con. The PC Con ( ) is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the design of Microsoft’s Xbox Controller S gamepad.

The $20 PC Con sports transparent plastics and gel grips on the side that give your palms good purchase for long fragging fests. You’ll find twin analog triggers underneath each index finger, and pressable, dual analog sticks within easy reach of your thumbs. A four-way directional pad is a short hop for your left thumb, which also has easy access to two programmable buttons on the left edge of the pad’s face, diagonally set above the left grip.

Underneath your right thumb is a diamond-shaped array of programmable buttons, arranged in the Xbox Controller S’s familiar yellow, blue, red and green configuration. Two more programmable buttons rest on the right edge of the pad’s face, right above the right grip.

One particularly nifty feature of the PC Con is its Turbo button support. Let’s say you’re playing a game that would benefit from you repeatedly mashing one of the buttons — a shoot ‘em up, for example. With the PC Con connected to your Mac, you can click the Turbo button — located in the lower center of the controller’s face. Pressing any button and holding it for a half-second or longer programs that with “turbo” capabilities. You can cancel or reset those actions, and you can even adjust the Turbo speed.

The PC Con isn’t wireless, unfortunately, but it’s tethered to your Mac by a seven foot USB cable, which is enough distance to sit in a recliner or nearby seat. The transparent plastic gives you a look inside the device, which is a nice touch, and it feels durable and weighty. Mad Catz covers its controllers with a five-year warranty, though don’t go throwing your PC Con against the wall if you get blasted by the Covenant in Halo, because abuse isn’t covered.

The gel grips are soft and comfortable little pillows for your palms. They grips are ribbed, as well. Unfortunately, the gel material used in the grip collects dirt and muck at an alarming rate, and proved tough to keep clean.

The one significant downside of the PC Con is that Mad Catz hasn’t developed any programmable Mac software, unlike another gamepad I recently reviewed — Nyko’s AirFlo EX. That leaves you dependent on the good graces of Mac game programmers to make sure that they support game controller input. For games that don’t, you’ll need to add a third-party gamepad programming utility like USB Overdrive to the mix, but that’ll cost you extra.

The Bottom Line Mad Catz’ PC Con gamepad is solid value for the money, and welcome for anyone looking for an Xbox Controller S-style gamepad for their Mac. Its only downside is a lack of Mac-specific software.
