 Hey, this is Nathan with The Verge, and we are at CS2015 checking out the Mad Cat Lynx 9. It's a modular game controller that can control Android smartphone and tablet, and basically it's got the full complement of buttons you'd expect to see on a PS4, Xbox One controller with two analog sticks, usual assortment of buttons here. It's got two shoulder buttons in the back for your left and your right fingers, and what's cool with this is that you can basically take it apart and convert it into multiple different modes. So, for example, you can pop these little grips out here and swap in a keyboard here, and then if you want to send any text messages you can do that to your phone, and that just pops right back out. So using it, it's a little bit unusual at first to feel kind of like it's a hollow metal body to some extent, but the buttons feel pretty good. The analog sticks in particular, they're not as good as you might see on a full home console, but they click down, they're pretty responsive, the whole package seems to be better than most mobile controllers that I've played with so far. And this is the Lynx 9 now that we've set it up in tablet mode. Same controls, same buttons, same everything except it kind of goes around the tablet. It works with 7-inch tablets, although you can also use its frame as a dock for a larger tablet, although you put the gamepad back into its smaller mode. And this is up here at the top, this is the brain, this is actually what controls everything. This clip can come off, it just holds the phone, but no matter what mode you're in you need to have this guy attached. And this is what the Lynx 9 looks like when you've folded it up into its most portable mode. So it's pretty small like this and it's got everything you need right here to play games on it. You can just set it up and you're good to go. And so this is the Lynx 9, it's going to retail for $299 when it launches. Pre-orders are going now and it should launch in a few months. And if you want to see more CES videos from The Verge, please check out our YouTube channel.

 9.
 It's a modular game controller that can control Android smartphone and tablet, and basically
 it's got the full complement of buttons you'd expect to see on a PS4, Xbox One controller
 with two analog sticks, usual assortment of buttons here.
 It's got two shoulder buttons in the back for your left and your right fingers, and
 what's cool with this is that you can basically take it apart and convert it into multiple
 different modes.
 So, for example, you can pop these little grips out here and swap in a keyboard here,
 and then if you want to send any text messages you can do that to your phone, and that just
 pops right back out.
 So using it, it's a little bit unusual at first to feel kind of like it's a hollow metal
 body to some extent, but the buttons feel pretty good.
 The analog sticks in particular, they're not as good as you might see on a full home console,
 but they click down, they're pretty responsive, the whole package seems to be better than
 most mobile controllers that I've played with so far.
 And this is the Lynx 9 now that we've set it up in tablet mode.
 Same controls, same buttons, same everything except it kind of goes around the tablet.
 It works with 7-inch tablets, although you can also use its frame as a dock for a larger
 tablet, although you put the gamepad back into its smaller mode.
 And this is up here at the top, this is the brain, this is actually what controls everything.
 This clip can come off, it just holds the phone, but no matter what mode you're in you
 need to have this guy attached.
 And this is what the Lynx 9 looks like when you've folded it up into its most portable
 mode.
 So it's pretty small like this and it's got everything you need right here to play games
 on it.
 You can just set it up and you're good to go.
 And so this is the Lynx 9, it's going to retail for $299 when it launches.
 Pre-orders are going now and it should launch in a few months.
