Thanks to the advent of super powerful Smartphones and miniature memory cards that can hold your Dad’s entire digital music collection of Jazz music the capability exists today for hard core and casual gamers alike to have portable gaming in their pockets. Smartphones have now become the new generation of portable gaming hardware with their multi-core processors and super high resolution screens. That being said, the gaming experience that you would normally get when you are using your smartphone as a game console is approaching parity when compared to playing games on the go when you have a Sony PSP or Nintendo Gameboy. All that is needed now to put the icing on the cake in the world of mobile gaming is the Impulse Universal Game Controller.
So we have the huge high resolution screens and octa-core processors and a huge library of arcade quality video games that can be played to the everyday smartphone. So, what is missing? Simply put, a great, robust controller with real physical buttons. Now yes, today there is no a proliferation of wireless bluetooth gamepads out there that can provide the mobile gamer with those tactile controls but the problem is that they are not ultra portable. The good news is that our prayers have been answered – introducing the Impulse Universal Game Controller.
This neat little itty bitty thing actually feels quite comfortable in your hands (and I have real man hands!). The controller is ultra portable in that it can be attached to your car keys as a key ring attachment so you can always get easy access to a controller when you want to play one of your old school NES classics like Contra on your smartphone while taking the number 23 bus home from work.
Don’t let the size of this controller fool you for it comes with a D-Pad that can also double as a volume control, four (4) action buttons as well as two (2) buttons at the back.
In addition to being a wireless game controller, it also is a key finder and wireless remote control for taking selfie pictures on your smartphone, tablet or computer system.
The Impulse Universal Game Controller is compatible with Apple devices (iOS), Android, Windows PC, Linux and Fire.
The unit weighs a mere 82 grams and is has a built in battery that can last for up to thirty (30) days on standby on a single charge. By the way, if you are wondering whether the controller’s firmware can be upgraded, the answer is a resounding “yes”.
