Compact Gamepad Designs

99 City 8's Gamepad Concept Boasts a Hint of Playful Color

99 City 8 has launched a compact gamepad design that is demanding the attention of gaming enthusiasts. The device, which is called 'Game Remote Sensing,' is "dedicated to online battle arena or RPG titles like League of Legends, Glory of Kings, and Peace Elite."

Compatible with one's smartphone, the compact gamepad features only four buttons and seeks to improve the overall gaming experience through simplicity. The gadget attaches to only one side of the smartphone, while the other hand remains free for interacting with the on-screen controls. This not only enhances tactical gameplay but also significantly reduces the footprint of 99 City 8's compact gamepad design, making the product more convenient for travel or one's daily commute. Game Remote Sensing can actually fit into one's pocket and the device is conceived in a few colorways.
