I saw it demonstrated (and tested it out myself) on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with a quad-core processor. The game choice couldn't be more apropos -- Need for Speed.

Fit 'n' finish
The smooth curves fit comfortably and naturally in the hand. It's easy to hook your fingers to press the left and right trigger buttons at the rear of the controller.

One last look
The adjustable neck helps resize the Moga controller to clamp down on phones of varying size. We'll have a ton of fun testing this when it comes in for review, you can bet on that.
