Product Information
Full details
The Rotor Riot iOS Gaming Controller is designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users seeking a console-like gaming experience on their Apple devices. Its primary benefit is ultra-low latency via a direct Lightning connection, eliminating Bluetooth pairing hassles. A potential caveat is its reliance on the Lightning port, which might not be ideal for users needing to charge their device simultaneously without an adapter. This controller features a full set of analog and digital buttons, a D-pad, and a unique 'Zero Gravity' device holder.

FAQs
Does this controller require batteries?
No, the Rotor Riot controller is powered directly through the Lightning port of your connected Apple device, so no batteries are needed.
Can I charge my iPhone while using this controller?
The controller uses the Lightning port, so you cannot charge your iPhone simultaneously using the same port. You would need a separate Lightning splitter or adapter if available and compatible with your device and usage.
What kind of games work with this controller?
The controller works with games that support MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad) controllers. Many popular titles on the App Store and Apple Arcade are compatible.
How do I detach my iPhone from the 'Zero Gravity' holder?
Gently pull your iPhone upwards from the holder. It is designed to be secure during play but easy to remove when finished.
What is the cable length?
The integrated Lightning cable has a length of 24 inches (approximately 60 cm).
Can I use this controller with my Mac computer?
Yes, the controller is compatible with specific Mac models listed. You will need a Lightning to USB cable (not included) to connect it to a USB-A port on your Mac.
Is the 'Zero Gravity' holder adjustable?
The holder is designed to provide a specific, balanced viewing angle for optimal comfort and visibility. It is not adjustable in terms of tilt or position.
Troubleshooting
Controller not recognized by device
Ensure the Lightning connector is fully inserted. Try a different compatible game. Restart your iOS device. For Mac, ensure you are using a compatible cable and that the game supports controllers.
Buttons are unresponsive or sticky
Ensure no debris is obstructing the buttons. Gently clean around the buttons with a dry cloth or compressed air. If the issue persists, contact support.
Poor connection or intermittent performance
Check the Lightning port on your device for any obstructions. Ensure the controller's cable is not damaged. Try connecting to a different compatible device to isolate the issue.
Device holder is loose
Ensure the device is properly seated in the holder. Check for any debris that might be preventing a secure fit. The holder is designed for a snug fit; do not force it.
