The editors liked

  • Lightning based connection is lag free
  • Controller is comfortable to hold
  • Buttons
  • D-pad
  • And analog sticks are good quality
  • Doesn't require a flat surface/stand for the iPad
  • Fits all iPad mini models
  • The Gamevice's frame cleverly folds down to fit in practically any bag. It's got a full set of responsive buttons and seamless compatibility with four different models of iPhone. You can charge your phone (over Micro-USB) or plug in headphones without rem
  • Highly responsive controls
  • Comfortable grip
  • Easy setup
  • It's reliable. It works. Doesn't require batteries and features a passthrough Lightning connector for charging up your iPhone

The editors didn't like

  • Limited to the iPad mini
  • Landcape mode only
  • Bulky and not very portable
  • Expensive compared to other controllers
  • It costs $100 (£80 or AU$150)
  • And you may have a hard time finding games that make full use of the controls. You can't navigate the iPhone's interface via the controller. Analog sticks feel a little cheap
  • With rough edges that can dig into your thumbs
  • Cheap thumbsticks
  • Goofy design
  • Pricey
  • It's not case friendly or screen protector friendly. The overall package does not include a carrying case either

  • We found the Gamevice to be an awesome addition to your phone or tablet that brings a whole new experience to gaming with your device. Like I mentioned, it is like having a Nintendo Switch or PS Vita in your hands. This is great because a lot of people ca...

  • The Gamevice offered me a gaming experience which was long lost. There's no way I can get used to on-screen controls no matter what I try. It's safe to say that this thing got me gaming again on mobile, that too in a way I was least expecting. How many ti...

  • Abstract:  It's taken a while (nearly two years, to be exact) but the iPhone and iPad are finally getting some quality gaming peripherals. Ever since Apple announced plans to add physical inputs to its touchscreen platform, hardware manufacturers have been dropping...

  • Highly responsive controls, Comfortable grip, Easy setup
  • Cheap thumbsticks, Goofy design, Pricey
  • The Gamevice does exactly what it's designed to, offering responsive, mostly comfortable controls for any gamepad-ready iOS game you toss at it. Setting it up with your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus takes seconds, and its fold-up design is ready for the road.However...

  • Abstract:  We don't review many mobile game controller accessories, but Gamevice's iOS gamepads are doing what we wished all mobile controllers had been doing for years: latching onto the sides to transform your iDevice into something along the lines of a PS Vita. R...

  • Limited to the iPad mini, Landcape mode only, Bulky and not very portable, Expensive compared to other controllers
  • My biggest issue with the Gamevice was portability. It's large and an awkward shape, which means it's not great for taking with me when I travel or when out and about. It's something that's more suitable for home use just because of its size and the space...

  • Abstract:  Whether you're an iPhone or Android smartphone user, gaming on these platforms is consistently a disappointment due to poor touch controls. It's only in recent years that developers have started to smartly innovate their titles to make use of the technolo...
