News - GameKlip clips a PS3 controller to your Android phone

Why re-invent the wheel, the PlayStation 3 joypad is already out there?

Nice way to rip off customers. $1/€1 worth product + marketing costs + misc costs = $15 / £15. I'd rather get something off EBay that functions like this for €5 or so. Software is via Play store anyway. If they made it available for $7.99 it might go viral and make some nice profit. Pity.

Hmm, interesting timing - since I was considering getting a 2nd user 6way controller to hook up to my Transformer for some Dead Trigger "fun" (I really don't like on screen controls), after reading online that it's pretty simple to hook up via the USB dock (and after setup you can go wireless!)

GameKlip say that they are working on a version of the GameKlip hardware for Xbox 360 controllers which some people may prefer.

Is the support there for XBox controllers? I got the distinct impression that the PS3 ones were better supported in the Android world - which is a shame since I definitely prefer the XBox controller (and I've got three in the house at the moment).

Not that impressed with the idea of the GameKlip personally - but then again that's probably because I'd prefer to do that kind of gaming on my 10" Transformer rather than a 4.8" GS3.

Interesting idea but feels a little pricey for a plastic clip with no software.

Also worth pointing out Galaxy note support is for AT&T version not the international version we have over here.

I'd be interested if it was the XBOX controller.

Can you buy this anywhere in the UK?

This is awesome!!!

I personally preferred PS3 controller. It is lighter and easier on the hand/thumb.
