The editors didn't like
High price
Small for larger hands
It's too expensive
And the growing world of controller-compatible iOS games is still a patchwork affair
Abstract: As we discovered in our early days gaming on the new Apple TV , a gamepad strongly benefits the play experience, since the Siri Remote has its limitations. And it's not just for hardcore players: Having analog sticks and a traditional button layout makes...
