Not sure if anyone's already covered this but I bought an extension cable that I can plug in to my iPad and my Moga ace power controller and it works. It's not ideal but it's better than nothing right now. If you buy an extension cable, make sure it works with ios7 as some don't.
But as it works, i'll be glad to take it. Although i'd still want the bluetooth controller in Bladepad though.
Why waste $100? Just wait a couple of months. There will be a good detached bluetooth joystick sometime during our lifetime.
I would of preferred a Bluetooth controller but I'm a developer and waited long enough to get a controller for adding support to my games. I didn't feel comfortable adding support without testing.
Well, it's cool that it works. Guess if one has an iphone 5, it maybe worth it to use it that way. Hope something shows up at CES that can be used by both ipads and iphones.
