Mad Catz® L.Y.N.X.™ 3 Mobile Wireless Controller for Android Smartphones and Tablets, & PC
 
 

The Game Changer

L.Y.N.X. controllers are proud winners of multiple design and engineering awards. Inspiration flows through their appearance, and spills over into their functionality. L.Y.N.X.⁹ is highly versatile, meeting a wide range of uses with best-in-class features. Our vision for L.Y.N.X.³ was to take the same inspirational design to a wider audience. We set out to deliver a compact and functional controller ideal for everyday use. Springing from Mad Catz' 20-plus years of design innovation, L.Y.N.X.³ is the perfect gateway to mobile gaming on Android.

Android Gaming at its Best

You no longer need a console to get an authentic gaming experience. As Android smart devices inch closer to outperforming home consoles, you'll be able to enjoy the same caliber of titles. We're talking first-rate, no compromise, AAA games. Today, your Android machines already contain an abundance of premium gaming content. L.Y.N.X.³ is like an all-access pass to that content.

Immensely Versatile

Synchronization is one of Android's best attributes. Play on one device in the morning, then pick up, right where you left off, later in the day on a different device. It's akin to an across-the-board pause button. L.Y.N.X.³ is absolutely ideal for this scenario. Play on your smartphone during the daily commute, and on your tablet during lunch. And with our PlayBig & Charge Pack, you can even game on your HDTV when you get home.

More Features than Full-Size Gamepads, Less than Half the Bulk

• Foldable Design for Easy Transport and Storage
• Ideal for Sports, Action, and First Person Shooter (FPS) Games
• Built-in Multimedia Controls
• Ergonomically Sculpted for Comfort and Precision
• Premium Components Rated at 1 Million Cycles
• Includes Phone Clip for Gaming on the Move

Simply Better than Touch

Touch controls have their place, but let's face it, they just don't cut it for core games. Ever tried to play sports or an FPS using touch controls? How about a platformer? A mistimed jump caused by your thumb drifting away from virtual buttons spells instant death. Good luck with that! And, certain titles even know when you're using a controller and will remove touch controls from your screen.

Click and Go

Playing smartphone games, with an authentic console-quality feel, is only a satisfying click away. Place your phone in the removable clip to regain some game screen real estate. Stop your own fingers and thumbs from obscuring your gameplay, once and for all.

High-Performance App

Tinkering under the hood is one Android's best benefits. You can root around inside phones and tablets, so why not your controller? L.Y.N.X.³ offers the same flexibility. Our app feeds you setup tips and tutorial videos. And, a growing list of compatible games gets you right into playing. You can also customize the sensitivity of the sticks and triggers. In an FPS, for example, you can set the sticks to be extra precise in the center of travel to improve aim, and extra fast at the outer edges for speedy 180° flick shots. That'll give you a distinct advantage over players using ordinary gamepads.

Energetic Road Warrior

L.Y.N.X.³ travels well, and stores enough energy to outlast most Android devices. Power-efficient Bluetooth gives the rechargeable Li-polymer battery at least 30 hours of play time on a single charge. More than a full day of stamina should be enough to keep you going until you can get to an outlet. And, the controller also knows when you've had your fill of entertainment. L.Y.N.X.³ sleeps after a period of inactivity you can adjust from within the app.

Simplified Multimedia Control

Phones and tablets are much more than your go-to gaming consoles. They're also your camera, music player, and portal to the Internet. L.Y.N.X.³ has yet another trick up its sleeve to fulfill these needs. A super-convenient set of multimedia buttons adds remote-control functionality. Easily start and stop playback of a movie, jump to the next song, and make quick volume adjustments.

Built to Last

Mobile gadgets sometimes take a beating. In and out of pockets and bags, and frequent visits to all sorts of different places. With this in mind, we set out to create a mobile controller that can endure the demands of mobile gaming. L.Y.N.X.³ uses premium components tested to withstand up to 1 million cycles. That's a whole lot of gameplay!

More than Just Android

Bluetooth-enabled PCs also pair nicely with L.Y.N.X.³. Running Windows 7 or later? You're set. If you enjoy games that support DirectInput controllers, you're good there too. Our programming software lets you assign keyboard and mouse profiles to buttons and sticks. And to thwart the ever-present threat of outdated PC hardware, firmware updates arrive via Windows PC software.

Bigger is Best

Games on mobile devices are best when you're, well, mobile. It's a different story when you're at home. The best place to play is on the biggest screen available, sat back on the sofa. L.Y.N.X.³ excels at that, too. Our separately sold PlayBig & Charge Pack connects your tablet or phone, directly and without lag, to your HDTV. Mirrored content lets you do everything you can on your smart device, on the best screen in the house.
