iMpulse is the smallest portable controller out there

iMpulse is a tiny portable controller for touchscreen devices that connects through Bluetooth. Despite its size, the controller still manages to squeeze in a directional pad, seven buttons, and a rechargeable battery good for nine solid hours of continuous play.

We’ve been promised that touchscreen smartphones and tablets are the future of mobile gaming, but those of us who grew up with Game Boys and Game Gears know that physical buttons and joysticks are still the way to go. That’s not to say touchscreen devices don’t make for wonderful portable consoles, they just need a little help, and this tiny Bluetooth controller will more than fill that role.
