MOGA Rebel MFi Controller Available Online from Apple

The much-anticipated Moga Rebel – the first full-size bluetooth MFi controller – is now available online from Apple, after being available for the past week in-store.

I’ll have a full review of the Rebel coming shortly, but suffice it to say, this controller works, feels reasonably comfortable, and (most important) is the only traditional-style bluetooth controller available right now.

The Rebel has one significant downside, though, and that downside is iOS8. Apple’s latest system seriously damaged MFi controller support across the board for bluetooth controllers, with about half of all tested games no longer being compatible with the Moga Rebel or SteelSeries Stratus.

If you’re interested in the Moga Rebel, and if you’re running iOS7, you should absolutely consider picking one up today. If, however, you’re running iOS 8, it might be worth a wait – the list of iOS8 bluetooth compatible games might end up being a lot smaller than you’re hoping.
