First of all, this handle is really not made by Microsoft, although its key layout and even color match are similar to the XBOX 360 handle, and this handle only supports iPhone and iPad, uses Bluetooth connection, and is sold in Apple online stores and specialty stores at a price of $80, or about 492 yuan.

Moga Rebel is equipped with two rockers, one navigation key, four function keys, two trigger keys and two front buttons on the body, which is the same design idea as the handle of XBOX, but different from the previous generation of products, Rebel only supports Bluetooth connection, which means that when the iPhone 6S and other gadgets come out next year, Rebel will still be able to serve users, while Rebel's predecessor Ace Power will not be compatible with the iPhone 6.

And Rebel also has a foldable shelf, which can clip the iPhone onto it. That means Rebel can also fit the old iPhone or even iPod Touch painlessly, which is a good idea.

In terms of appearance design, Rebel doesn't have much to show for, but what needs to be said is that the overall workmanship and materials are far inferior to the PS4 and XBOX ONE handles, and the sense of quality is also much worse. In addition, Rebel's two trigger keys are a little too elastic, and the feel is average.

But then again, Rebel's overall workmanship is solid, and it seems that Rebel is also very durable, so you can easily throw it into the backpack during daily use, and you don't have to worry about the collision in the backpack will damage Rebel.

It is worth mentioning that Rebel's joystick feels great, and the dual joystick setting also makes it very easy to use Rebel to play the popular first person shooting games. However, these two rockers cannot be pressed down like the XBOX and PS handles, but this is only because Apple does not support them, and it is not Moga's fault.

Rebel's directional key should be enough for most players, but it's not enough to say how good this directional key is. It's almost the same as XBOX in general - it has not worked for many years, but it can work anyway.

As for the four buttons A B X Y, they feel good when pressed. As for L1 and R1, they feel wooden, and the feedback is not as fresh as the XBOX handle.

One of the most commendable designs on Rebel is the foldable mobile phone bracket. This bracket can be folded into the handle body at ordinary times, and can be opened when needed. It is like playing a real handheld computer.

However, the bracket is not perfect. The opening and closing angle of the bracket is a little small, and the angle can not be adjusted freely, but it has little impact on the overall game experience. When connecting with the iPad, it is good to fold the bracket, and after folding the bracket, the power switch of the handle will also be covered.

When playing games, we can deeply feel the joy brought by the handle. For example, when playing 3D games such as San Andreas, which are transplanted from the host computer, even the ancient 2D alloy warheads, it is much more refreshing to use the handle control than to poke on the touch screen.

Due to Apple, there are not many games that support handle control in the App Store, and sometimes it needs to be patiently searched. However, Moga has also considered this problem, so it launched an app called Moga World, which can test the handle after installation on the iPhone and directly search for games that support handle control in the App Store.

Speaking of this, I have to complain about Apple again. Apple does not make any notes on games that support handle control in the App Store. Users must click in to check the APP description to know whether the game supports handle control.

Conclusion:

Apple's current support or tolerance for game consoles is not good, so it is sometimes not so happy in application search and connection stability. To some extent, Moga's launch of its own app to help users search for games that support console control makes up for Apple's shortcomings.

As for Rebel's handle, we think that for users who use both iPhone and iPad, Rebel is the best choice for them to go into the Apple store to buy a handle. As for the price of $80, it is really a bit painful. Although $80 is much cheaper than the average price of $100 when the iPhone handle first came out, it is still expensive for ordinary consumers.

For example, the PS4 and XBOX handles, which are better and more comfortable, are priced at only $60. We believe that this is the reasonable price for iPhone handles. For those handles that are not so well made, their prices should be lower.

If Rebel sells for $50, we recommend it as "buy buy buy". But the problem is that given its price of $80, we still think it is most suitable for heavy mobile game enthusiasts who have high requirements for the controller.
