BenQ Game Pad for iPaqs
"This remarkably small and lightweight gamepad fits seamlessly and securely to your iPAQ Pocket PC with or without an Expansion Pack. Its ergonomic design with one arrow pad and six function buttons lets you conveniently play at your comfort, no matter where the urge strikes."
It's designed for 3800/3900 iPaqs; it might work with 5450s, but I'm not sure if it would cover up the headphone jack or not. A neat idea, in any case: I'd love to see it happen for more Pocket PCs.

I'm not really a gamer with my Pocket PC (iPAQ 3850); however, this seems like a very cool pad for those that are. I only wish I had more time - there are some great games out there!

Is it out yet? Where can I buy one? I want one now!! 8O
Too bad the Playstation-type buttons they used are incorrectly positioned and have unusual colors... licensing issues I suppose.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea?
I thought the whole idea of PDAs was to have everything fit in your pocket. One by one these accessories add to the bulk in carrying a PPC around. Between my Axim in a case and a Pocketop keyboard, if I carry around anything more I might as well get a subnotebook (iBook or the lindows subnotebook). That way I will have better buttons and a full sized keyboard.
What would intrest me more is a BT gamepad with a USB receiver.

Seeing how I have an ipaq 3635 still, I was hoping that there'd be a version for us pre 38xx users, but I guess not :cry:. But a version for the Axim as well would be nice too.

Still won't work since that most good quality games are in landscape

That's funny that they use the same buttons that Playstations use. Only they've re-ordered them and changed the color.
I think this would be great for the portrait games, like the NES emulator. And I'd carry it with me if I were going on a plane trip or something, It'd never be for caual 'at the doctors office' gaming.

Where would you put the Pocket PC if you were using a two-handed game pad? Bluetooth isn't the answer to everything. :wink:
