Hello everyone! I'm looking for a controller to clip in my iPhone (5s) and have narrowed it down to the speedy and CTRLi. They both have good and bad elements, but which is best for a good mix of genres of games (a few side scrollers, many many shooters, some racing games, and a couple platformers) Please help.

Between those two, I'd say grab the Speedy. It's about the same as the CTRLi, but with a much better d-pad.

One other option you might want to consider: the SteelSeries Nimbus with a third-party grip from Nyko. Works great:

Thank you! Just one question.  Does the speedy include an adaptor to plug the micro usb into a wall socket?

Happy to help 😊

No, none of the MFi controllers include a charger. Heck, the new Lightning-powered controllers don't even include a Lightning cable!

Everything charges just fine using any of Apple's USB wall chargers, though.

Hi..i am a new user here. As per my knowledge the overall design of the Speedy doesn’t stray too far from the Xbox 360 controller. It has the same analog stick layout, same button placement, and pretty much the same shape. If you like the 360 controller, you’ll like the Speedy. If you don’t, the Speedy won’t change your mind. The Speedy is one of a handful of MFi controllers to closely follow the Xbox 360 controller; it’s closest competition is likely the Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i pad.
