Mad Catz L.Y.N.X. 9 Mobile Hybrid Controller Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2016-01-05

L.Y.N.X. 9 controller from Mad Catz is a highly-elaborated product, which is meant for a large range of devices and we also do get the needed accessories inside the box, without the need of spending extra money.

For additional comfort, we can always install the inner handle modules in a snap:

Under the analog sticks, we will also get to see the connector for the keyboard accessory:

Moving on, we are going to take a look at the smartphone clip accessory, which is also made mostly from aluminum:
