Link: Bladepad MFi controller scheduled for October release

Blade Electronics announced via tweet that the iOS 7 compatible version of their Bladepad game controller is tentatively scheduled for release on October 21st.

Much like the very similar Caliber Advantage controller, the Bladepad was originally revealed last year, before Apple’s MFi controller program was announced. Subsequent to Apple’s iOS7 unveil, the Bladepad team was forced to redesign much of the controller. The redesigned version has yet to be revealed.

The currently-revealed Bladepad’s sliding design provides a clever and compact way to carry the controller without occupying too much space. Hopefully the redesigned version will keep those attributes. We’ll be sure to continue coverage of this controller as more information becomes available.
