Game controllers for smartphones and tablets – is useful gadgets for those who really like spire. Today and for Android, iOS and present games that just a few years Nazal not everyone could play on a PC, for example: GTA San Andreas, Deus EX, FIFA and others. And play them with on-screen control is not as convenient as on an external keypad. Probema the latest was as follows: each manufacturer gamepads had to personally make a fuss about the supported games, it’s always meant that the number of games was small. But in iOS 7 Apple added support for gamepads and now all the new ones should be compatible with all games developers which respectively added compatibility with manipulators. Today we look at one of the first new generation gamepads – MOGA Ace Power.

The device is intended for gadgets Apple, but not all. Fit all iPhone and iPod Touch with built-in Lightning. To all devices, regardless of thickness, and held tightly in the fixtures, complete a further pad.

A major advantage over competing solution from Logitech – more controls: sticks, triggers, cross, buttons … Everything as in adults manipulators. There’s even a headphone jack is.

In MOGA Ace Power has a built-in battery, 1800 mAh, which can recharge your smartphone or player because gameplay discharges cool gadgets. But if the charge is not required, you can turn off the switch on its individual controller. Gamepad itself charged by jack MicroUSB.

Speaking of convenience – keep manipulator inserted gadget is very convenient, comfortable size. During transport, MOGA folded, losing twice in size. However, if the player is not a smartphone or inserted, the construction feels flimsy, but in fact the plastic out of the box there is a small manufacturing defects like scratches. By the way, on the PSP some parties, such as were. Well, soiled plastic can not be attributed to the pluses, greasy stains remain visible very well.

In order to not fall out of the smartphone mounts or diskonketa happened with the controller in the hottest point in the game, after fixation device, its position is fixed tumbler Smart Lock, located on the back side.

The biggest drawback of the controller for me personally – that it can not work with smartphones in most types of covers or cases, they should be removed. Those who use case studies, are likely to be unhappy about it. Also the film by fixing halves MOGA, the lower part of the protection bulged.

Also, the biggest drawback I find it impossible to connect the iPad, because he has more display, and autonomy is much better. it would be cool to be able to kadzhety Connect with Bluetooth, but no module in MOGA. That’s why I like the controller from SteelSeries – Stratus .

Most importantly – the game that is supported? The manufacturer’s website , you can view the supported games . Among them are such well-known hits like Riptide GP2, Asphalt 8, Dungeon Hunter 4, Dead Trigger 2, Limbo, Galaxy On Fire 2, several Sky Gamblers, Duke Nukem Manhattan project, GTA San Andreas and others. In principle, there is play in that game but still not enough. Understandably, there is more to blame for developers, but still, so far with buying a gamepad and can wait. For me, the biggest drawback is the lack of support of FIFA, then wine lies entirely on EA, but it makes it no easier.

Overall, summing up, I would recommend this controller for those who do not use any covers or films and plays exclusively on a handheld device, to have such MOGA has some advantages: convenient size, management and built-in battery. I recommend everyone else, or wait, or pay attention to the already mentioned model from SteelSeries – Stratus .

Almost all of us love the game. Someone plays them with your friends on the football pitch , someone sitting at a computer , some impressively collapse on the couch in front of a huge ” plasma” with a gamepad in your hands, and some of us prefer to play on mobile phones. It just so happened that they (games ) are now becoming more and more difficult , prettier graphics , and on their part they are small , with small steps closer to what is now offering “adult” platform. There is only one “but” – management, smartphone screen is not for any genre, not to mention about its management, overall usability.

The decision , however , is, for Android there are third-party programs to connect gamepads on PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 ( and some manufacturers , such as Samsung, embed their support at the driver level and the operating system ) via Bluetooth or USB OTG- cable. This way , alas, brings some problems , among which are often volatile relationship and that much soul twist , it rarely works . The second solution to the problem – a specialized third-party gamepads , one of which is the hero of our today’s review MOGA Pro, second in a row “smart” game pad from this company.

In the box , in addition to the device itself , you can find another USB- cable is required to recharge the gamepad (about two hours, and the time – more than a week with daily use over a hundred , a hundred and twenty minutes ) , stand to place it on mobile devices, not can fit in the MOGA, and a number of papers, among which there is a coupon for a free installation shooter NOVA 3 .

 Dimensions of the stand tightly regulated , making it suitable for even the most minor phones , let alone the tablets:

This time, the appearance of MOGA Pro and layout controls repeats those in dzhoypade from XBOX 360 , which is good , because to get used to something new is needed. The handles are contoured and rubberized texture that improves grip and prevents sweating hands.

Familiar ” bumpers ” and the analog ” triggers ” are also present , as in the ” ancestor ” , the local press L2 and R2 – Analog :

If you prefer to play in the dark , and game pads themselves new to you , it will be useful highlight action button with the key located on the bottom of the unit.

The main feature of this device , however , is a folding plastic fasteners , telescopic stand , where you can put your smartphone (with a width of up to 82 mm ), which is firmly held down by adhesive rubberized surface on the top and bottom. Top, by the way, has a slightly curved shape that allows you to safely put any device inside the fixture, not worrying about the fact that you press a key (in my case – supply) on the side . This design also has two positions – upright and tilted (the latter the most suitable for the game) .

Connect with your smartphone or tablet is easy, just download a proprietary program MOGA Pivot from an online store Google Play ( after all the settings will be prompted to download the free game PAC-MAN) and move the slider on the controller to position «A» ( there is also the «B» designed to address the problems of compatibility with older games ) . Run the installed program , and then turn on the Bluetooth device automatically interfaced themselves somewhere for 15 seconds.

Navigation is a proprietary application with the display of your device , and directly MOGA Pro ( the latter is more convenient ) . In it you can find the list of already -installed games , games that support work with the D-pad and a very very small next game is fully optimized for working with MOGA. In the presence of sorting by genre, alphabetically, and other parameters.

And here there is a basic question: “How do I play? ‘. Will give all – played well , but not all games have full functionality is available ( for example, in the newly-minted Asphalt 8 : Airborne very essence of the existence of the analog stick nullified because they work and are recognized only in two positions , and in the same Asphalt 7 all excellent) . Having run a number of items, for myself, I found that the first ” win” all kinds of FPS and other 3D-project (Modern Combat 3/4 , NOVA 3 , Dead Trigget, Shadowgun, GTA series and Max Payne; them, no doubt greatly more ), then – Platform ( say, a new Reaper), and only the third in a row are a “race .” The main problem of the past , as I said earlier – compatibility , such as Real Racing 3 does not work with the D-pad and it does not recognize .

Another disadvantage , in addition to compatibility with games is the fact that the control by the mobile device using a gamepad is not possible, hateful fiscal NVIDIA SHIELD will not work. Otherwise , if you really love to play ” complicated” game , I can safely recommend to the acquisition of MOGA Pro, especially because of its relatively low cost , only $ 50 . For the pleasure is definitely worth paying.
