There are gamepads for ios devices.

Yeah, after playing on PS4 I couldn’t get used to the touch controls. Here’s the controller and holder.

Try this :) it should work perfectly

It connects via Bluetooth and shadow will recognise it when you start the app

With IOS devices you need a MFI controller. They will sync via Bluetooth.

I use the steelseries nimbus

Not OP but it’s the SteelSeries Nimbus Bluetooth Mobile Gaming Controller - Iphone, iPad, Apple TV - 40+ Hour Battery Life - Mfi Certified - Supports Fortnite Mobile https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AZC3III/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_eOVRDbJZTM4NH

I have it, it’s a nice controller but honestly? Just get a PS4 or Xbone controller. My biggest complaint with the Nimbus is the L3 and R3 buttons do not work on it. They press in, but nothing happens. I do not believe there is an actual switch there unfortunately. This makes remote PS4 play difficult for some games that use those buttons.

Otherwise if that is not a deal breaker for you it’s a fine controller. Good build quality, battery life, responsive, and just works out of the box with iOS.

This is the one I have. I like it a little too much haha. It's a bit pricey but it's a solid build and feels like an xbox controller. It definitely makes minecraft way more fun and easy to control on the ipad. I wish there were more games to use it with but then I would get nothing done

I posted earlier (sorry for duplicate comment!) but I use the Steelseries Nimbus. It charges with a lightning cable too. Great battery life.

It’s awesome.

I picked up a used Nimbus for gaming on the iPad. It works for the most part. Some button issues though: https://smile.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Nimbus-Wireless-Gaming-Controller/dp/B01AZC3III

Also it only works on iOS devices so no use with your pc.

Made for iPhone, I recommend the steel series nimbus controller. It’s really good

Here’s a phone holder that clips onto it (made for Xbox one but it works for the nimbus also, I have it)

I'll shill for my own company and recommend the Nimbus. I admit I'm a biased source but it is really an excellent Bluetooth controller.

The on screen controls actually didn't seem bad to me. But I play with a steel series nimbus controller and it's a great mobile experience.

Edit: also the actual gameplay has been awesome so far. I play on an iPhone 7 and I haven't had any problems.

Yea, I don't see one for that low now, but there is a seller with a refurbished Nimbus for $30. The seller seems to have a good rating and overall appear reliable.

I bought this one:

Came yesterday. I bought a used one for 30 bucks. Worth it for sure..it looks and feels like an Xbox controller..and there are no R3 and L3 but if you double click on the analog on the screen on your phone it works. I'd recommend buying it..felt really good and is worth the price imo.

The Gamevice and the Rotor Riot both use the Lightning connection. The rest use Bluetooth.

For the ones that use Bluetooth, apparently the SteelSeries Nimbus is the best one.

There's the Xbox One S or a Dualshock 4 controllers. They're both Bluetooth and people sell mounts for them for your phone like this: https://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Smart-Clip-PlayStation-DUALSHOCK-Controller/dp/B00FLLFGO8?

Otherwise, I use a 8Bitdo SN30 Pro which has a seperate phone clip designed for it: https://www.amazon.com/XFUNY-Bracket-8Bitdo-Handgrip-Telescopic/dp/B078TWMQFM/ . It's a smaller controller and easier to fit in my pockets than the proper DS4/XBOX controllers.

Though I think the real problem is you're on iOS, and Apple doesn't allow Bluetooth controllers that aren't on their MFi program to work on iOS. Searching on Amazon for mfi controller, looks like Steelseries has a few. But I've got no experience with that.

Man. I seriously didn’t know there were 2 sizes. The small one looks like a controller for a kid. How much was the difference between the 2 since you picked the smaller 1?

Is this the same one with the big one photo?

I use this one, and it seems to work great so far. I bought a separate mount for my phone that clips onto it:

haha yeah, all of a sudden these look useful

That's flat out false. This controller made by SteelSeries charges via a female lightning port using standard lighting to USB cables.

It's Bluetooth, so while you can pair the device and map controls, it's not really recommended. Get one of the following instead:
