Amp up your gaming ability on your portable device with the Gamepad for Tablets. Tech designer John Godfroid constructed a controller add-on that will make game-play on such items as the iPad and other Android tablets a liberating experience.
Gamers no longer have to fuss about getting fingerprints all over their tablet screens or complain about the controls lacking the finesse and stability of the more advanced PlayStation or XBox controllers. The Gamepad for Tablets slightly resembles the control panel on a PSP (PlayStation Portable System). It latches onto the sides of the portable device and connects wirelessly using Bluetooth. Once hooked up, games on the tablet that use directional buttons become a breeze, making game-play better for flying, driving, or role playing games that were nearly impossible to navigate beforehand.
