    USB games controller

    Hi guys

    Apart from purchasing something like the tactile game controller shown on ipad arena, is there any way to connect a standard USB games controller to the iPad for easier game playing (such as Call Of Duty: Nazi Zombies)?

    thanks in advance

    Short answer: No
    long answer: Maybe, if the camera connection kit can be made to make it work.
    Life begins, and spirits rise,
    and they become memories that vaporize,
    and the vapor becomes the dreams we devise,
    and while we are dreaming...
    Time flies...

    Wait and grab one of the new mini joysticks that are coming out soon, as I doubt the USB connection would work. Especially as the voltage has been reduced following the OS upgrade.
