A new experience

Playing with a compatible controller

will seem both strange and familiar to you.

It almost feels as if someone has magically

improved your mobile gaming in an instant.

5

Tweak your preferences

In many games you will be able to tweak

the way the controller works, and this can

help add realism to the experience, like in

some of theadvanced third-person shooters.

Relive memories online

Many websites let you play retro games

online, such as retrogames.cc. The majority

work with controllers, and in our tests, they

showed a strong connection on an iPad.

1

Look for compatibility

Apple lists controllers that are compatible

with iPads, andthey include Xbox, PlayStation

and MFi Bluetooth models. The more well-

known the model, the better it will work.

2

Connect in seconds

You should be able to go to

Settings>Bluetooth, and then setyour

controller into pairing mode. Tap it, tap

‘Pair’, and it will be ready for future gaming.

3

A quick search

To test your controller, go to the App

Store and search for ‘controller games’. You

will see a selection that you can control

remotely, and many are also free to play.

7

To the Arcade

Apple Arcade offers a big selection of

complex games, and most of the action titles

fully supportcontrollers! The experience gets

pretty close to a real-life arcade, too.

Tricky

updates

Updating the firmware

in a controller can be

tricky, if you do not

own the console it was

originally designed for.

You may need to find a

friend who will connect

it and update it.
