Link: TouchArcade’s MFi Controller Recommendation
You just knew I was going to link this one: Carter Dotson at TouchArcade runs through his suggestions of which MFi controllers to get and which to avoid.
TouchArcade’s go-to recommendation is the Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i; I’ve long recommended that one as absolutely being the best option for most people. It’s d-pad isn’t great, but the controller is well-built, fairly priced, features an iPhone grip, and works great with all iOS devices. No other MFi controller hits all those checkboxes. As a general purpose recommendation, its the one to beat.
Best of all, it’s 20% off on Amazon right now! So if you’ve been looking for a great controller, and didn’t believe me all the other times I recommended this one, well now you have corroboration from at least one other iOS reviewer.
