Hasta La Ideas

Mobile gaming has evolved over the years primarily because of the processing power at hand on these devices. This has led to brands coming out with dedicated gaming controllers for both iOS and Android-powered phones. Razer Kishi series, GameSir, Backbone One and 8BitDo all offer good options for mobile gaming without breaking the bank.

8BitDo in particular has portable and compact gamepads for gaming on the go. In fact, they are so compact they can fit easily in the pocket of your pants. Yes, I’m talking about the Micro and Zero 2 gaming controllers that are tailored for 2D games on your Android device. Now the brand has released another accessory compatible with Micro and Zero 2 tailored for gaming with emulators or gaming titles that have on-screen controls at the bottom of the screen.

The Mobile Clip clamps onto your mobile device, so that you can use it in a more ergonomic playing positioning. This is a unique idea for a mobile gaming accessory and should do good with gaming emulators that mostly have the controls set up at the bottom of the screen with the remainder of the screen real estate reserved for the in-game action. It should be great for playing retro 2D games as the Micro/Zero 2 controller sits pretty snugly on the display of any Android or iOS phone.

Priced at $10, this clip-on accessory is a no-brainer if you own any of the two compact gamepads. It comes as a three-part bundle with a clip-on clamp that attaches to your device, and the other two are shells for the respective controllers. You just have to hook together the combination and attach it to your phone. Even if you are planning to buy any one of these two compact gaming controllers, it would be a wise choice to bundle it up with this mobile clip to open up the possibilities for a set collection of gaming titles on your phone.
