The Lightning Port on iPhones might become a relic of the past, as USB-C is looking like a real possibility for Apple’s eventual 2023 release. That can make it a bit sketchy to pick up a new gamepad for iOS, as anything that relies on a Lightning Port might not be a good pick going forward. However, the newly released RiotPWR Cloud Gaming Controller for iOS combats that issue as the first USB-C iOS controller–and it boasts some other cool functionality that makes it a great choice for all your mobile gaming needs, along with a reasonable $70 price tag. It’s being sold directly from Apple, so you can rest assured it’ll be ready for the next iPhone evolution.
Beyond offering Lightning and USB-C connections, the RiotPWR controller is generally a premium device. It’s designed as a full-sized controller with an 8-way d-Pad, a passthrough charging port, a share button to quickly record your gameplay, and an Audio DAC and headphone jack. It also comes with an optional gaming app (Ludu Mapp) that gives you hundreds of titles supported by the gamepad.
