The Gamevice is a physical gaming controller that fits iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6s Plus. It’s available from Amazon and for $99.95.
Like most other gaming controllers for iOS, it features two joysticks, a D pad, four face buttons, and four shoulder buttons. But both of those were designed for Apple’s iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s series, and do not fit the iPhone 6 or 6s.
Right off the bat, this spotlights coque iphone xs max deluxe some of the issues the Gamevice may face down the road. coque samsung galaxi a7 A clever design for the Gamevice allows both the 4.7 inch iPhone 6/6s, and the larger 5.5 inch Plus models to fit the accessory, but there is no guarantee that a mythical „iPhone 7” will also fit.
We can’t ding the product for this, because who knows what the future will bring. But still: Buyer beware.
We coque samsung j6 plus ebay used the Gamevice with our iPhone 6s and found that we really enjoyed the clever design of the device.
Gamevice has two pieces: a left side with the D pad and joystick, and right side with second joystick and face buttons of A, B, X and Y. Both sides feature both a trigger and bumper.
These two pieces are connected by a rubberized, folding coque samsung galaxy grand prime manette piece dubbed the „flexbridge.” When extended, the two sides of the controller fit securely around the iPhone and hold it in place. There is also an extension slider coque samsung a40 liquide on the back, and a locking mechanism on the right side, to allow users coque samsung a8 samsung to choose between fitting an iPhone 6/6s, or a larger Plus version.
When it’s not in use, the flexbridge can be folded accordion style and sandwiched between the two controller halves. These hard plastic pieces attach ebay coque samsung a3 2017 to the backs of one another magnetically.
This feature aids in the portability of the Gamevice, though it still isn’t pocketable in any fashion. coque samsung b2100 solid Still, we had no problems throwing the unit in a bag, and appreciated the collapsible design.
Connecting the Gamevice was also coque tokyo ghoul iphone xs max easy and coque iphone xs satan simple. And when placed inside the snug slots and connected to the Lightning plug, we had no worries that coque samsung j3 2016 avec raba our iPhone was going to coque samsung coque iphone xs mignon pour galaxy s6 transparente argent fall out.
The unit recharges through a micro USB port, which also passes power through to the iPhone, allowing users to charge and play a game at the same time.
Another welcome inclusion with the Gamevice is a dedicated headphone jack. When used, iPhone audio passes through the Lightning port, allowing you to connect a standard 3.5mm coque samsung galaxi grand headphone to the bottom of the unit. Both the face buttons and joysticks are responsive and well built, giving the controller a premium feel. The D pad is serviceable, as most are these days.
If we had to single out a weak point, coque samsung galxy a5 it’d be the triggers and shoulder buttons. They’re not bad, per se, but they aren’t as strong as some coque samsung galaxy a5 gold other iOS controller options retail for much less than the Gamevice.
Specifically, we take issue with the triggers, which lack any discernible „depth” to them. While the buttons can be coque samsung s 3 mini pressed and give a satisfying feel of a click, there isn’t any range for a lighter or deeper press as on coque samsung a7 2018 pas cher other triggers, most notably the SteelSeries Stratus.
That issue aside, the Gamevice feels comfortable in the hands, and we had no problems using it for compatible titles like Geometry Wars 3, Halo: Spartan Assault, and coque orange iphone xs the coque samsung galaxy grand prime monster Metal Slug series.
As with other physical controllers, playing titles with the Gamevice is vastly superior to touchscreen only controls, for most games. If you buy this controller, you will have a much better gaming experience.
Our main knock against MFi controllers remains Apple’s fault, because the iOS App Store does not identify which downloads support third party gaming controllers.
Apple addressed this issue with the new Apple TV and tvOS, but the problem still remains on iOS. Gamevice has, thankfully, addressed this in its own way, and offers the „Gamevice Live” app as a free download.
We’re happy Gamevice Live exists, though the app is glitchy. When scrolling, we found that it would frequently accidentally select an app.
Aside from this bug, it’s well coque samsung a5 2016* designed and does what it needs to do. Gamevice Live is a curated list of controller compatible apps, addressing a problem that Apple created.
There are three tabs Explore, and Search apps are sorted in categories like „New Games” and „Our Favorites.” It’s a nice way to discover titles for your new accessory.
The app also displays Gamevice specific controls, featuring images showing exactly what buttons on the device will accomplish certain tasks in specific games.
Of course, much acheter coque samsung galaxy trend of this wouldn’t be necessary at all if Apple simply displayed controller support in iOS App Store listings. The company has done so on tvOS, but has not on iOS. And there is no way to use Gamevice with tvOS (yet). Which is another Apple related issue in and of itself. coque samsung galaxy j5 2017 m&m’s. coque iphone xs avec motif.
