The controller splits into three parts with a range of control pads, keyboards, mice and mobile frames for gaming, tweeting with your friends and multimedia. Drilling it down, the chassis has a mouse-like control through OFN sensor, the handles are double the size, the keyboard is a full QWERTY layout and slots into the handles, the battery lasts up to 30 hours on a full charge, and there is a built-in microphone for voice search. The unit can accommodate three sizes: smartphone, tablet with the frame kit or onto a 4K or HDTV with the PlayPack & Charge Pack. The price comes at a hefty price of $299 but they give you everything mentioned plus the cables to hook up to TV. The controllers come in white, black or red and pre-orders are accepted on their site. Watch the demo of the L.Y.N.X transforming at AZTBTV or above.
