Razer could be on the verge of mass producing its own line of iOS gamepads if recent rumor hold water. The gaming peripheral specialist is apparently developing its own gamepad codenamed “Kazuyo” fitted for iDevices including the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5. While exact specifications and hardware are still a mystery as of this moment, we’ve managed to take a peek at what it could look like once out in the wild.
The Razer Kazuyo has similarities with current iOS gamepads including four action buttons and multi-directional arrow pad while having wraparound design that encapsulates the iPhone securely. One nifty feature it has, which isn’t present on other game controllers, is the ability to tilt up to a 45-degree angle providing a more ergonomic gaming experience. It also has backlit action keys and pressure-sensitive shoulder buttons.
The render could ultimately be true. If so, the Razer Kazuyo might present could pose a threat to the growing roster of iPhone game controllers including Logitech (Powershell) and MOGA (Ace Power). These companies took advantage of the native controller API installed by Apple on its latest iOS 7 platform allowing third-party manufacturers to build custom-made peripherals for iDevices.
Official details including price and release date are yet to be announced so for now, take these with a grain of salt.
