Rotor Riot is the only Apple-certified controller that has clickable L3 and R3 thumbsticks, and it uses a wired connection for zero latency. The device holder is removable, allowing the controller to be used on a standalone basis.

The controller is [available for $49.95 from Apple.com][1] as well as [Amazon][4] and [Best Buy][5] and requires a device running iOS 7 or later.

This is just [one of many accessories that Apple has added][6] to its online store over the past few days, alongside [new iPhone-connected blood pressure monitors from Withings][7], the [Smart Panda educational playset][8], new charging accessories from [Mophie][9], [Belkin][10], and Anker, the Netgear Orbi mesh Wi-Fi system, and more.
