A couple years back WikiPad launched a gaming tablet. The hardware is no longer top of the line, but the gaming controls were and still are phenomenal. They followed that up by announcing Gamevice. That controller has now come to the real world at CES. The Gamevice series works with an iPad Mini or iPad Air to give them physical controls based off Xbox or PlayStation type controllers. It works with the iOS MFI Extended controller API and the collection of existing games.
The Gamevice will ship in early March from $99. The company also plans to adapt the design to Android and Windows tablets.
