Mobile gaming has certainly taken the center stage so far at this year’s CES, as MOGA has announced their next line of portable gaming controller. The MOGA Pro Controller is much like the original, that went on that fire sale a couple of weeks back, but brings a few enhancements that should interest any of our mobile game diehards.
The Pro features full-sized console-style grips, dual analog sticks, 4 action buttons, directional pad, shoulder bumpers, shoulder triggers, rechargeable batteries, USB charging cable, and a tablet stand.
The controller is set to launch in the Spring of 2013 with a price that is to be determined.
Anyone here able to get the free one? If so, how are you liking it?
