However, none of these new devices have appeared quite as portable as the Ion Controller from SteelSeries, which connects through Bluetooth and is about the size of a deck of cards.</p> <p><div style="width: 529px; height: 179px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20120607065313/http://www.gizmag.com/steelseries-ion-bluetooth-games-controller/21115/pictures#2" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120607065313im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/steelseries-ion-controller-1.jpg" width="529"/></a></div></p> <p>SteelSeries' Ion Controller is almost as compact as a typical smartphone, but don't let the size fool you; the controller still has as much functionality as your typical console controller. A rechargeable lithium battery allows for 20 hours of wireless use through Bluetooth and can be plugged into a PC, tablet, or smartphone for continuous play. It also has the standard dual joysticks, directional pad, 2 shoulder buttons, and six customizable buttons on the front. Software for certain devices can also be used to completely remap the buttons to fit a person's liking.
