We cannot say that today iOS is an open operating system, but things were much worse a long time ago. For two years, users of an iPhone or iPad can use, without jailbreak, controllers to play video games, something that has gained in importance with the arrival of the fourth generation Apple TV. There are already several MFi remotes quality, but it is likely that the PXN-6603 by ApexTech better value for money than many others on the market.
What can we say about the design of the PXN-6603? Well what looks a lot like the Xbox controller, the favorite by many gamers. In fact, the distribution of the analog sticks is also the same, that is, the right is in the part closest to our hand but the left is in the far part or where the Sony Dualshock have the crosshead.
ApexTech PXN-6603 has its own stand for the iPhone
As for the buttons, we have the same available as in any other moderately important remote control:
- Left and right analog sticks.
- Spider on the left.
- A, B, X and Y buttons.
- Four buttons on the front, two of them pressure sensitive.
- Pause button (as «Select»).
- Bluetooth button.
- On / off button.
This ApexTech proposal also has something that the Steelseries Nimbus that we found in the Apple Store does not include: a support that will allow us to place our iPhone and play as if it were a portable console, saving the logical distances. This support may seem like an insignificant detail, but surely you do not think the same if you have had to play with your iPhone on your thighs with the controller at chest level so as not to cover the action with your hands.
ApexTech may not have the same reputation as Steelseries, but your PXN-6603 works with iOS 7 or later devices, the fourth generation Apple TV and is also compatible with Android devices, although to use it with these types of devices you have to enter some codes to be requested from the brand. In addition, it has a price of € 49,88 and is available in black and white.
