iControlPad for iPhone to Get Huge Design Change

iControlPad for iPhone to Get Huge Design Change

Posted November 5, 2009 at 7:24pm by
iControlPad, a physical control pad in the works for the iPhone has received a huge design change according to the creators.

In February a test run of the originally designed prototypes shipped. Feedback suggested that the design work but needed to be altered for each iPhone model, the controls were a bit cramped and the unit was quite large to carry.


We were not 100% happy with this. If we are going to do this we want to do it right. As some of you know we have access to the parts used on the openPandora handheld - which has dual analogue nubs.

A sleepless night then resulted a huge design change.

The new design will be featured via a video on ZodTTD very soon...

Well it's about time lol I've been patiently waiting for about 2 years and with little updates I was sure this project was dead. I just started making my own controller :P looking forward to seeing the new design, but mostly a release.
