Games are an integral part of the Apple ecosystem — look no further than Apple Arcade and the abundance of iPhone games if you have any questions. Of course, many games work perfectly fine on an iPhone or iPad touchscreen, but some with more advanced interfaces and deep console-like gameplay cry out for more flexible controls.
Apple came to the rescue back in iOS 7, released in June 2013, with one feature that flew under the radar: the addition of the MFi Game Controller SDK, which allowed third-party developers to create external game controllers compatible with iOS of the device. This functionality has evolved to include iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and Mac OS.
While Apple doesn’t make its own brand of gamepads, third parties have stepped in to pick up the slack. While many game controllers can do double duty for gamers who own Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or PlayStation systems, our roundup of the best game controllers focuses on the hardware that works best on your iOS device.
