C.T.R.L.R Spotted At CES 2013

ctrl r C.T.R.L.R Spotted At CES 2013 [CES 2013] One would have thought that the acronym C.T.R.L.R would have something to do with refreshing an entire webpage, but the C.T.R.L.R is actually the inspiration of Mad Catz’s critically acclaimed MLG Pro Circuit Controller, where it is touted to deliver console-like functionality to smart devices. Sporting a plethora of control options such as dual analog sticks, triggers, media controls, shoulder and action buttons, the C.T.R.L.R will hook up using Bluetooth Smart technology, where it will deliver a fully featured console-like experience to any compatible device.

Not only that, the C.T.R.L.R is proudly app-enabled, meaning you are able to configure it using a smart device app. Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc, said, “Our GameSmart initiative aims to enable core gaming on smart devices, similar to the console living room or PC gaming experience. We’re committed to adding smart device compatibility to our core gaming products wherever practical and to playing a pivotal role in bringing core gaming to the mobile platform. We are excited about the new range and believe it fits perfectly with our long-term strategy of designing innovative products for passionate gamers.”

Mad Catz reveals line of multiplatform gaming peripherals alongside GameSmart initiative

Posted in: Today's Chili

After introducing the world to its GameSmart crossplatform hardware initiative last week just ahead of CES 2013, Mad Catz today revealed exactly what that’ll mean for consumers: several of the company’s peripherals are being reappropriated for use across mobile, PC, and Mac platforms. That includes the R.A.T. mouse, the F.R.E.Q. headset, the M.O.U.S.9 wireless mouse, and the C.T.R.L.R. wireless gamepad, all of which are being branded into the GameSmart line. Beyond the PC / Mac / mobile applications of these devices, Mad Catz says “some” are also designed for console use without going into specifics — we’ll be sure to ask Mad Catz about that when we get our first hands-on with the line of GameSmart peripherals this evening. All four devices become available “in a range of distinctive colors” to the general public in “early 2013.”
