What is a L.Y.N.X 9 controller you ask? Well, it\u2019s a monstrosity, really. The controller is made up of three parts, the main controller, grips and a keyboard. It\u2019s designed to adapt\u00a0around all your android gaming needs as it\u2019s able to be used on bluetooth devices, as well as hold tablet and phones.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, not only does this thing look like a <strong>Michael Bay <\/strong><em>Transformer<\/em>. It quite literally is one.<\/p>\n<p>The price for this shapeshifting beast? $300. I can\u2019t say I expect everyone to be using one in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>This is obviously for hardcore Android players though.
