Wireless gaming controllers for iOS are all the rage right now. Newcomer 'Signal' is premiering their first offering at CES called the RP One. This controller connects via Bluetooth and will be available for $99.99 in the first half of 2014.
The RP One looks similar to an Xbox controller and as long as they have steered clear of copyright infringements, I would hardly call mimicking one of the best controllers ever a bad idea. While it certainly lacks imagination in the design category, I think new controllers on the market are good for everyone and will hopefully help bring down the ridiculous prices.
"We are at the dawn of the next major era of gaming," says SIGNAL Director of Business Development & Channel Marketing, Mark Prince. "The RP One is our invitation to the future. Gamers want to experience their favorite titles anywhere, anytime, without limitation, and the RP One enables them to do it. It is the first full-scale controller designed specifically for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch."
The RP One contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery that is capable of up to ten hours of game play and can be charged during use for limitless fun.
I have two questions about this controller which will only be answered as the release draws closer. The first is which games it will work with and the second is how much latency there will be with the wireless connection. If they have taken care of these issues then I would probably buy this device.
