Review: How good iOS gaming could be (but isn't) - If you like the idea of this form factor, then this will be pretty much what you imagine. It really turns your iPad Mini into a portable game console. It felt huge at first, but I got used to it quickly. No setup was required, just plugged it in and it turned on. The controller looks well built, the only thing I noticed is the spring that holds the iPad in place is a bit more loose than when it was new, will update this review if it becomes a problem. I mostly use this to play Grid on an iPad Mini 5, and it's just great. The Z pushers are a highlight, they let you adjust the throttle and breaks precisely, it's great fun. The analog sticks are also precise, I find them at least on par with Sony or Microsoft hardware. The D-pad is good, but I don't use it that often (more on that bellow). There are some things that are not great though. For instance, you have to press the buttons harder in some games, but this is due to, for what I've read, those games not handling pressure sensitive buttons correctly, which this device has. But the big shortcoming has nothing to do with the device itself. It's the scarcity of game titles worth your time on the App Store. I mean, there is nothing remotely near BotW, for instance. No Rayman Legends, Diablo 3, etc. The list goes on and on. It's a shame, honestly, because Grid with this controller on recent Apple hardware really delivers better graphics and controls than the Switch, IMHO. Unfortunately, for me, is about the only game worth a slice of my off time. Review: Works straight out of the box - From what I could see, this is the only controller that fits into an iPad mini so decided to give it a go. Overall it works very well, with my iPad detecting it as soon as it connected. I saw other reviews noting that games on iPad mini 5 don’t work but I don’t know what they’re doing wrong as any game I’ve tried works as expected. Google Stadia and Xbox Game Pass also work well with it. Only issues to note are that the thumb sticks aren’t clickable so some functionality is lost in games that require this. ## Features - COMPATIBLE WITH - iPad Mini. - VIDEO GAMES - Fortnite, Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto, Street Fighter and many more. - DRONE CONTROL - Works to give you flawless control over any standard drone or UAV that can be controlled via an IOS device, including DJI. - CLASS HARDWARE CONTROLS - Dual Analog Joysticks; A, B, X, Y buttons; D-Pad; L1, R1 Bumpers; L2, R2 Triggers; Menu Button. - INPUT/OUTPUT - 3.5mm Headphone Jack, Lightning Receptable, Lightning Connector, 4 LED Indicators. - NO LATENCY, PAIRING or POWER LOSS - Gamevice connects directly to your smart device's charging port.

It really turns your iPad Mini into a portable game console. It felt huge at first, but I got used to it quickly. No setup was required, just plugged it in and it turned on. The controller looks well built, the only thing I noticed is the spring that holds the iPad in place is a bit more loose than when it was new, will update this review if it becomes a problem.

Overall it works very well, with my iPad detecting it as soon as it connected. I saw other reviews noting that games on iPad mini 5 don’t work but I don’t know what they’re doing wrong as any game I’ve tried works as expected. Google Stadia and Xbox Game Pass also work well with it. Only issues to note are that the thumb sticks aren’t clickable so some functionality is lost in games that require this. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice, but doesn't work on iOS 9.0 *by J***S on 18 July 2023* I bought this controller really for one thing, and that thing is to play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. To this end I managed to track down an iPad Mini 4 running iOS 9.0 and installed the game, plugged in the controller, and nothing happens. For some reason the controller is entirely unresponsive. It should work, and based on the manual firmwares as low as iOS 6 should have no issues. I've confirmed the device isn't defective by using it with my iPhone 6 Plus that's running iOS 9.3.1, so I'm really not sure what's going on there. Be aware if buying for similar reasons. The controller itself actually pretty nice. The grips are comfortable to hold and the buttons are well-positioned. The analogue sticks both feel great, and the triggers, though a little gritty, have decent travel and lack the mush you might see in more modern mobile controllers. My only major criticism is that the L3 and R3 inputs are incredibly shallow with no real click to signify they've been pressed. It's nice enough, and I am really grateful that there's any kind of controller like this for the iPad Mini, but I'll likely be returning this one just for the fact it doesn't work with the firmware I wanted it to. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gamevice GV140 | Apple MFi Certified Controller for iPad Mini - JETech Screen Protector for iPad mini (A17 Pro, 2024 Model, 7th Generation) / mini 6 (2021 Model, 6th Generation), 8.3-Inch, Tempered Glass Film, 2-Pack - ZUGU CASE for iPad Mini 7 (A17 Pro) & 2021 iPad Mini 6 (7th/6th Generation 2024/2021) Slim Protective Case, Wireless Pencil Charging, Convenient 7 Angle Magnetic Stand, Auto Sleep/Wake [ Black ] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/49982035-gamevice-gv140-apple-mfi-certified-controller-for-ipad-mini](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/49982035-gamevice-gv140-apple-mfi-certified-controller-for-ipad-mini) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
