Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i MFi Game Controller Announced

Mobile World Congress is among us, and a new iOS7 game controller has been announced! This time, Mad Catz – longtime maker of third party controllers and gaming accessories – is trying their hand at the iPhone.

This new controller, called C.T.R.L.i, is an iOS version of their C.T.R.L. android controller, and will be one of the first full-size iOS controllers hitting the market. Heres what we know, about it:

It’s similar to the Xbox layout, like the Moga controller, and unlike the RP One controller
It connects over bluetooth, and should work on every device with a lightning port
An iPhone clip will be included, enabling you to attach your iPhone to the top of the controller. This clip will not be large enough to connect an iPad Mini, but should work with every iPhone model
It will be available in black, white, blue, orange, and red
Suggested retail price should be $80
Battery life is rated at approximately 40 hours, and runs on 2 AAA batteries
Expected release date is between April and May

For iPad gamers looking for a full-size controller option, this might just fit the bill.
