iOS gamepads / controllers

[MonkY]

Noi controllere pentru iOS (iPhone si iPad) sunt pe cale sa se lanseze:

Horipad se lanseaza in Noiembrie si pretul va fi undeva pe la 60$.

The Horipad is a Bluetooth extended MFi gamepad, with the full assortment of analog sticks and buttons. Unlike the CTRLi, this will have a rechargeable battery. But unlike the CTRLi and MOGA Rebel, there's no clip on the controller for an iPhone or iPad, so odds are this one will be an iPad-focued affair. It comes with a tablet stand, but it's the same kind of cheap tablet stand you can get near the cash register at a convenience store, not like the compass-style stand the MOGA controller comes with.

Mad Catz vine cu C.T.R.L.i (ce nume si-au gasit si ei) undeva in Octombrie, la pretul de 59.99$.

Godo news for anyone looking for another MFi controller option, as Mad Catz's long-awaited C.T.R.L.i is now up for pre-orders at Mad Catz's website, with orders expected to ship out in early October. The price of the controller is really interesting: $59.99, undercutting the SteelSeries Stratus and the MOGA Rebel by $20. The controller will not feature a rechargeable battery, but instead use 2 AAA batteries to power it.

There will be a clip that slides out from the rear of the controller to fit iPhones and iPod touches. The site doesn't list iPhone 6 and 6 Plus compatibility yet, but the clip should support device widths up to 3.17 inches, barely accommodating the iPhone 6 Plus' girth, albeit without a case. The MOGA Rebel's clip supports up to 3.75" width by comparison. There will be an app for checking the controller's battery life, update the firmware, and check the status of the controller's buttons and joysticks.
