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...

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...
