With the new Delta game emulator out for iOS, I decided to invest in a super portable controller to use with a majority of 2D, non-joystick games. Always liked 8BitDo’s work, but never had much of a reason to purchase their controllers.
But I found their Micro controller impossible not to try, and subsequently enjoy:
- At $20, it’s an easy buy.
- It comes in two jolly colors
- Has a battery that lasts an alleged 12 hours on a charge via USB-C
- Thing measures just around the size of an AirPods Pro case
- Shockingly, it’s not cramped to hold and use, and the buttons are very good for such a light, small housing
While it says on most of the product pages it doesn’t explicitly work with iOS, it absolutely does. Set it in Switch ‘S’ mode and add it like you would any other controller via the Bluetooth setting (it’ll show up as a ‘Pro Controller’). Works great with Delta, but haven’t tried it with other iOS games yet.
In summary, a recommended little buy.
