Gamer-Geared Smartphone Joysticks

The Powera Moga Offers a Better Gaming Experience

— June 5, 2012 — Tech
The PowerA MOGA joystick will give serious gamers looking for an edge for racking up high scores on their cellphones a leg up on the competition.

While there are many downloadable games available from app stores, some of the more intensive variations require more sensitive controls than what is offered on a phone screen. More complex games are much easier played with physical controls and this joystick offers two triggers, dual analog sticks and various other buttons that make for easier game play.

The square control panel is slightly smaller than an Xbox controller and has a clip on the top which allows one's Android-powered phone to be clipped onto the top to ensure that the skilled gamer is always crushing the competition -- even if that competition is only the computer.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile Gaming Accessories - The rise of mobile gaming has sparked a growing demand for accessories, like smartphone joysticks, that enhance the gaming experience on phones.
2. Physical Controls for Mobile Gaming - The need for more precise and sensitive controls in mobile gaming has led to the development of physical controls and joysticks that provide a better gameplay experience.
3. Enhanced Mobile Gaming Experience - Gamers are seeking accessories, such as the PowerA MOGA joystick, that can provide a more immersive and enjoyable gaming experience on their smartphones.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile Gaming Accessories - The mobile gaming accessories industry can capitalize on the demand for devices that optimize gameplay on smartphones, such as joysticks and physical controls.
2. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can explore opportunities to develop innovative gaming accessories and devices that enhance the mobile gaming experience.
3. Gaming Software and App Development - Companies in the gaming software and app development industry can create new games or optimize existing ones to take advantage of the capabilities offered by physical controls, like smartphone joysticks.
