Rotor Riot is touted as the only full-size controller with Lightning connectivity available so far. Direct Lightning connectivity ensures low latency and eliminates the need to pair the controller wirelessly to an iPhone or iPad, plus Rotor Riot also lacks a battery as it is powered directly from the device it’s connected to. The controller’s built-in Lightning connector allows for pass-through charging of the iPhone or iPad while in use.

The controller included the “Zero Gravity Device Support”In the box, an optional feature that can be used on models starting from iPhone 6. A complete list of compatible devices with the controller is available in Apple’s online store.

All the classic elements that have always characterized the device.
