Amkette EvoFox Deck’s reasonable success in morphing phones into gaming rigs

It just had to happen, didn’t it? For smartphone gamers, perhaps the more casual gamer demographic who wanted to test the waters before getting into it full steam, truly affordable gamepad accessories for smartphones were somewhat limited. The name that immediately comes to mind is the Razr Kishi, but depending on your luck with snaring some deals, this could mostly cost anywhere between ₹8,000 and ₹10,000. Similar pricing for the Backbone One (and you’d to carefully select the variant too). Indian tech company Amkette’s EvoFox Deck is the affordable antidote you probably were waiting for.

The EvoFox Deck gamepad is priced at ₹2,999 for now and instead of complicating matters with different version for Android, iPhone, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Edition and whatnot), its one accessory that works with pretty much any smartphone you may have. Or will have. Android and iOS are compatible – there is the DOJO key on the controller which lets you switch the modes, and further for Android phones, a key map mode as well (this is for games that don’t have native support for physical controller accessories).
