iPega PG-9078
Videos 11Photos 3 | Outdated Product Cross-platform gamepad from iPega with USB or wireless Bluetooth connectivity. The manipulator belongs more to the entry level and is essentially an affordable replica of the beloved Dual Shock 4, repeating its design and key layout. The layout of the buttons looks extremely familiar and does not require getting used to: the main unit with four control buttons is located on the right, a crosspiece is on the left, a pair of symmetrical sticks flaunts in the center, and 4 shifts are hidden on the sides to control auxiliary functions. The design of the case, the material of the handles and side inserts were also borrowed from the DualShock. Although, the overall quality of performance here is not as high as that of Sony. The difference lies in the fact that the main buttons are made in the AB...XY format like the Xbox Controller, and the center panel can be opened and pulled out, turning it into a convenient holder for a smartphone with a secure lock. iPega PG-9078 does not require complex installation - just connect it via Bluetooth (range 8 meters) or USB cable and you can play. The manufacturer guarantees full compatibility with Windows-based personal computers and laptops, as well as with most Android-based smartphones. Built-in battery provides up to 10 hours of battery life. |

Affordable wireless gamepad
It's hard to compete with Sony, Microsoft and Logitech in their field, so second-tier gamepad manufacturers have to attract potential buyers in their own way. In the case of iPega PG-9078, this is multi-platform and an attractive price tag.
Support for smartphones and TV boxes
Let's start with the omnivorous nature of the PG-9078: it can work with Android smartphones, tablets and TV boxes, iOS smartphones and tablets, and Windows PCs. The manipulator connects to computers not only via Bluetooth, but also via a wire that connects to the microUSB connector of the gamepad. To work with smartphones, the kit includes a special mount that holds the handset over the gamepad like in the Nvidia Shield. The main thing is that the screen size does not exceed 5.5", otherwise the width of the mount may not be enough. Although, by the standards of current frameless smartphones, this is not so much.
Classic design
In terms of usability, Chinese gamepads are a pure lottery. Even in the line of one company, bad, good and even excellent specimens can come across. iPega ate the dog in this case and in the case of PG-9078 hit, if not in the bullseye, then somewhere very close. The sticks are smooth, with a clear orientation in space, the triggers / shifts are pressed easily and smoothly, and the gamepad itself lies comfortably in the hands. In the latter case, thanks to the time-tested design (hello, Dual Shock) and the base of the corrugated plastic, which does not allow the controller to slip in the heat of battle. Of course, it does not reach the convenience of DualShock 4, but even getting close to its level is already a success.
2 times cheaper than Dual Shock
Against the background of all of the above, you can only scold the wireless connection. Pairing is elementary, communication is confident, but sometimes the gamepad for some reason refuses to see a particular device. It doesn't matter if it's a tablet or a laptop. But this is well compensated by the price, iPega PG-9078 will cost about 2 times cheaper than DualShock 4 or Logitech F710.
