CES 2015: Mad Catz's new shape-shifting Android controller costs $300 and looks like a robot boomerang
Transformers, joypads in disguise
Mad Catz makes some interesting-looking joypads, but its new L.Y.N.X.9 Mobile Hybrid Controller takes the cake. This metal, skeletal device folds and twists and breaks apart like a Transformer, to shapeshift into different forms.
There's the pocket-sized travel form for transport, and the traditional gaming design. But it can also pull apart to fit a seven-inch tablet in the middle and become an impromptu Wikipad for your Android.
If that wasn't enough it also has extra attachable modules including a smartphone clip and a QWERTY keyboard, and integrated tech like a mouse-like sensor pad and an internal microphone. And it works on PCs as well as Androids.
This crazy Decepitcon boomerang will cost $299 in the US and is available today.
