Horipad MFi Controller Now Available
Update:
It sold out immediately, and is now back to being listed as coming soon. Huh.
Good news for MFi gaming fans: looks like the long awaited Horipad controller from Hori is now available on Amazon!
The Horipad is the closest we’re going to get to a PlayStation controller for iOS (at least without Jailbreaking). Hori has a reputation as a quality manufacturer, and I’m greatly looking forward to their first controller for iOS.
Unlike the latest Mad Catz controllers, the Horipad does not include any form of iPhone grip. A stand is included for iPads, and should presumably be able to hold iPhones as well.
Also unlike the latest Mad Catz and SteelSeries controllers, the Horipad does not feature rear triggers, instead opting for PS2-style R2 and L2 buttons.
There were three Horipads in stock on Amazon when I started writing this. I bought 1 of them, now Amazon shows 1 left. Better act fast if you’re interested.
