Droid Game Pad - Game Gripper

GREAT idea, but the market may not be big enough. I'd also imagine it would be difficult to get all the game devs to jump on board with the necessary button configurations. But good luck and I hope it works!

Hopefully, you will be allowed to remap buttons.
 
Hi GameGripper,

Could you please tell us which keys are mapped to which buttons on your accessory so we can look into building support for it into our games.

Cheers,
Nigel
 
Purchased 2 of these earlier today!! hope to get them soon, can't wait to try it out.. Mario is what I love!! Looks like you are fulfilling my order as I type here as well!!! Thanks!!
 
Pre-ordered mine from work ^^

Don't know if you already had intentions of making them black or if you got that from us, but either way good call :)

Another tip: maybe get Google Checkout as a payment option? Since we're all Droid owners we generally all have a Google Checkout account setup :p
 
Awe, well I won't be getting one right away. They said they won't ship to Canada/International right now. They said they should be able to do it within the next 2 weeks.
 
Awesome! buying one with my next paycheck! Would be perfect if it was black to match the droid. At least this makes the keyboard useful for something!
 
Gamegripper.......the site says you're already sold out. Approximately how long will it take to receive the product on a pre-order?
 
Hey everyone, thanks for all the support! As you can imagine, we got swamped yesterday an have been busy fulfilling those orders, answering questions, and updating our webpage. Most of the questions in this thread are covered in our FAQ, so check it out.

Also, I just added a new section with a Game Gripper giveaway posting!

I have a thought for you. You should contact the devs of the emulator programs and see if they can put settings in their programs to have the controls premapped for the gamegripper. It would probably help your sales and be win win since you are definitely helping theirs

Had the same thought. I've been talking with some of them for weeks and hopefully we can work something out.

nice. if you offer it in a glossy black, i'll give you my $20.

Sorry, this is a rubber-like material that is not glossy. But it will be in black.

id pay $30 if it did everything through the mini usb port. i dont use my keyboard all the time but this constant button mashing doesnt sound too good for it.

anyways still good looking product man :)

Sorry, I'm a mechanical engineer that studies fluid dynamics. Doing this was out of my expertise, but I was able to do it. They didn't cover usb ports in my intro to electrical engineering class :)

Yes, it was definitely through forums that I decided to switch to black, and just in time too. Gray was a bad choice.

I am definitely planning on looking into Google Checkout, as I've learned that paypal can be very hard to deal with when you get hundreds of orders at a time.
 
OMG... you posted this two days ago and you are sold out already? lol!

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I'll definitely be picking one up very soon!
 
hadnt even bothered with any emulators...but as soon as I saw this I ordered one. Now I just have to figure out the emulator deal...hmmmmm

Ordered mine today!!!! Only thing is you guys are out of stock, anu idea how long to make some more?

Good question. When should the next batch be shipped? I have not decided yet between this and the Incredible, but leaning towards getting Droid next week- (like a keyboard). Good perfomance reports about your add-on will probably push me over to Droid.

Worse case, I end using Droid as a game system and get the Incredible or Droid 2 later :)
 
I just got mine!!! It works great!! However there will be no button mashing... you will certainly kill your droid, but I sure hope you already realize that. I do have to say, the way it fits and clicks the keys is great. feels very smooth. It may not be the prettiest thing, but it gets the job done!! Super fun for the casual gaming on the droid. Can't wait to see how it all progresses! at 15bucks... this will give you the best way to play games on the cheap!!! Awesome work!!

Wow, sounds awesome. I was afraid the buttons would be mushy.

I just ordered mine too.

Are you able to do a video review for us?
 
I just pre-ordered a black one with blue buttons. I'm not even sure it will fit with my phone case but this is just too cool to not support GameGripper's hard work.

Here is the case I use, hope it works. Enter your location

I have the same case. It adds hardly any bulk and the Game Gripper looks flexible so I'm hoping it fits, and if anything makes it even more snug.

I just updated my pre-order for a black one with glow in the dark buttons. I'm so excited.
