The Ultimate Multimedia Surfer & Gaming Controller

Streamline command of your Android-powered devices with Mad Catz’ S.U.R.F.R

Multi-Task from the Couch

Ever wish your multimedia controller was also a full-fledged gamepad? We did, and promptly set out to create one ourselves. While we were at it, we decided to mix-in a full keyboard. To add yet another layer of cursor control, we gave S.U.R.F.R mouse pointer input. And to top it all off, we even added a smartphone clip for Android gaming on the move. Now you can game, control media, navigate the web and input text, all with one compact device.

All-in-One Media Controller

Dedicated Media Functionality for a Great Home Entertainment Experience
True Gamepad Controls for Controller-Enabled Games
Full QWERTY Keyboard Zips Through Web Browsing and Text Entry
Mouse Pointer Controls Your Onscreen Cursor
Extendable Handles Improve Comfort and Grip
Adjustable Smartphone Clip for Mobile Gaming


Type Like a Pro Turn your Android set-top box’s onscreen keyboard from foe to friend. S.U.R.F.R makes obsolete the tedious hunt-and-peck method and helps you navigate the web and onscreen menus with ease. And when you’ve found what you’re searching for, you can quickly type away with the device that’s already in your hands.	Media Navigation Made Simple Go ahead and control all your favorite media with built-in media buttons. With play, pause, track forward and back, plus integrated volume controls, everything is just a touch away. And, familiar Android TV keys – Back and Home – make S.U.R.F.R an extension of your paired device.	Always Ready to Play Time to switch to gaming? Don’t bother looking for another device because S.U.R.F.R contains true gamepad controls. Ditch touch controls for dual analog sticks, shoulder and action buttons, and a responsive d-pad. The low-profile design comfortably places all these essential controls right at your fingertips. Plus, a d-pad surrounds the left analog stick and action buttons surround the right stick. This all-new design is yet another Mad Catz innovation that helps improve your reaction time during gameplay.	Ride the Web Surfing the Internet without a mouse is like surfing an ocean without waves. Although you may find an awkward workaround, forward progress is a tedious struggle. That’s why we gave S.U.R.F.R cursor control, complete with the ability to perform left- and right-clicks. Swiftly navigate onscreen menus, click on your favorite social media links, and select the next piece of media. S.U.R.F.R enables a faster and easier web experience.

Easygoing Travel Partner

Ready for some games and media on your daily commute? Then take S.U.R.F.R along for the ride. A smartphone clip attaches your Android device onto the top of the controller. This transforms your phone into a portable gaming console, and simplifies texting, social updates and, of course, surfing the web. The clip gives you a best-of-both-worlds benefit. Detach your phone and it returns to being just that, a trusted companion that does so much more than dedicated gaming machines.

Move Your Mobile Content to the Big Screen

Playing Big Makes Great Activities Even Better

S.U.R.F.R is ideal for our PlayBig & Charge Pack for Android. You get everything needed to display your phone or tablet’s media content on a 4K or HDTV. Create a central hub for gaming, movies, music, and even social media. All on the widescreen, powered by your smart device and with virtually no lag.

Somewhat disappointed: Buttons are too small to be practical.

Bytangocaton October 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

I really looked forward to this product, and thought it would play nice with my AFTV and LG G2 at the same time. I even pre-paid and then waited for ~1.5 months when Mad Catz delayed the release. But, today, after I finally got it, I was quite disappointed after 30 min with it.

For one thing, the game buttons are just too small to be practical. Furthermore, the analog sticks felt very stiff, and I had a hard time playing NES Super Mario, and kept on missing my jumps(I'm not that good, but I know I should not be this bad!). Putting D-pad around left stick might not be a good design choice either, and my thumb often bumped into the D-pad, breaking my Super Mario play flow. Also arranging ABXY buttons into a circle around right stick might be a problem too. Yes, there are gaps between buttons, but they are rather subtle, and sometimes my fingers could not tell where one button starts and the other one ends. Finally, pressing two buttons at the same time (for example, in order to leap in Super Mario) was almost impossible to achieve on this model,

I ended up returning mine. I don't think I can ever get used to it. Maybe I have larger hands, so I will probably have to go with Mad Catz's full size gamepads.

On the brighter side, I liked their keyboard and built-in mouse function. Very comvenient to use on TV boxes for apps that are not optimized for TV.

I would say it's good try from Mad Catz engineers. But maybe they went far or too aggressive. It's difficult to squeeze so many buttons into a small body like this. Hopefully they can come up with better ideas in near future.

Would of been amazing controller

ByHectoron December 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

This would of been an amazing controller. Feels very comfortable on hand. Buttons maybe small to some but I've noticed they are enough to be able to use, if you ever used a blackberry before then you will be fine. I use it mostly to watch videos on my tablet while it's on a stand. Unfortunately that's all the good things about it because there is very little support for games using this controller well the games that I play. The new FIFA Mobile game doesn't work, the game HIT I could move the characters but can't use any attacks. There is an app you can download which gives you games that it supports but most of them our outdated. Also I checked to see if there has been any updates but unfortunately there hasn't been an update for this controller while I noticed they did have software updates on their other controllers like the lynx 3. Hope Mad Catz sees this, and starts grinding some gears to get the ball rolling on this because this is actually a good controller if you just want to put your phone/tablet on stand and use this to navigate your phone or txt people. If Mad Catz make a new version of this I would suggest having backlight buttons, also it's about to be 2017 have built in batteries in the controller. I hope they come out with an software update cause the controller is very portable unlike the others that look like an Xbox controller, this one you can actually hide it in your pockets.

Thanks very much for the feedback. We actually have updated this product line with the release of the SURFR that was built in conjunction with the Designed for Samsung project. Adoption of controller-enabled games by the studios continues to increase, so we are excited about functionality across games growing over time. Love the feedback about batteries and back light and will pass those on to our Product Development Teams.

Not worth it, won't connect to my phone or Fire TV

BySean Joneson January 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

Just received this in the mail today. For the last couple of hours I have been trying to pair it to my Amazon Fire TV and Samsung Note 5 phone. I have had minimal success with my phone and no success with the Fire TV.

On my phone I have a cursor that I can move with one of the joysticks but that is it.

On the Fire TV it will not connect at all.

I'll try this a little more but don't have high hopes for it working.

Not for Amazon firestick!

ByJ daddieon January 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

It wasn't a Firestick remote like I thought it would be. That being said it would make an amazing tool for a gamer who plays a lot on their phone. My rating is one star for the fire stick remote it claimed to be...

Like an 80s toy, it uses AAA batteries

ByL. Orozcoon February 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

I really don't understand why Mad Catz thought it would be a good idea to make a controller that is supposed to be used for both media and gaming, and design it to use 2 AAA batteries. Even the cheap chinese controllers are rechargeable via usb.

The batteries are supposed to last you 20 hours (if you use it for gaming, that means you'll need to change your batteries every week). Maybe they knew that nobody would use this controller for gaming, because it really isn't a good gamepad either. The buttons are located around the analog sticks, which makes it really hard to use them.

The keyboard is not that bad, and the media features are ok.

But again, I don't know the reason to make a controller with AAA batteries. This would be a relatively ok device if Mad Catz would have made it rechargeable via usb
