If you want to play games on your iPhone or iPad, you’re going to need a game controller, and the same is obvious for the Mac. GameSir’s Cyclone 2 might be my favorite, thanks to a familiar feel and some notable features.

The GameSir Cyclone 2 controller comes in a stealthy black color or a vibrant white.
Sure, you can play iOS and iPadOS games using on-screen controls, and for some, that works like a charm. But for others, a controller is where it’s at.
For me, a controller is a must for a couple of reasons. The first is muscle memory. I’ve been playing games using some sort of controller since the late 1980s, and stabbing at a screen just doesn’t have the feedback I need.
