The right side with the ABXY buttons.


The lock for securely holding your device in place.
This is not locked. Also notice the usage of less common screws.


This position is locked.


The lock grips on to these 'teeth'.


To protect and prevent your device from slipping,
rubber paddings are inserted at appropriate places
such as this large piece that comes into contact with the back of your device.


And here at the catch too.


The rubber padding is here too for holding the right side of your device.


And the left side.

This is the difference in sizes between the PG-9025, PG-9021 and PG-9023.
PG-9025 on top left, PG-9021 on top right while the PG-9023 at the bottom.


Holders extended but not stretched to the limits.


When stretched to the max, the PG-9023 can hold devices up to 280mm.

PG-9023: Pairing and connecting

Initial pairing and connection of the PG-9023 is simple.
Just select the mode by pressing and holding one of the A, B, X and Y buttons and then pressing the Home button.
The Search LED fast blinks and we can now search/scan for the PG-9023 on our device.
It should show ipega Extending Game Controller


or a set of hex address.


Tap on it to complete the connection.
If everything is successful, we should see 'Connected' on our device.

The Search LED on the PG-9023 should also stop blinking and remain steadily lit.

Moving the left joystick and d-pad should bring up the cursor.
We can also verify by adjusting the volume using the PG-9023.

How's the quality?

Its good value for money. Well made item.
I won't claim they are the best in the world but we get what we pay for.

Thank you fro dropping by

The newest IPEGA PG-9023 is now available is a slightly different colour scheme. Pictures below.




Nothing's been changed on the firmware; still working great as before

Free bump for you bro!

I have try 9021 and 9023 both are great!!
easily paired up with my Asus Transformer Prime!

And another good news is.... IT CAN WORK WITH PC!!!
Tested with my Asus laptop and the new VivoPC Vm62, it can paired up via bluetooth! although it is not as smooth as pairing with android because sometime the PC need to re pairing again after the controller off. stupid Windows especially the new Windows8 is painful for all kind of configuration.

Do you have any idea how to use the controller on Eternal Worrior 3?

Thanks for the bump, bro!

I also do think GLU could've dropped support for iPegas for EW3.
Coz everything was working out of the box for EW2!

The only way I can think of is to use a screen mapping tool.
You'll need to map the on-screen controls to physical controls on the iPega.
For this you'll most likely need a rooted device.

hi bRO,

Note 2, ppsspp games can support?

PM me thanks

Yes, bro. PPSSPP games are supported.

All you need to do is map the controls before playing.

Thank you for your interest

Hi there.
I have a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet. Its dimensions are 10.81 x 6.81 x 0.53 inches (275 x 173 x 13 mm). With these dimensions, will the tablet be able to fit in this controller?

Shouldn't be a problem, bro. Max it'll hold is 280mm.
Please check your PM.

Thank you for your interest

Price is already super low

Thank you for your interest.

Yup, thank you. Its really a very popular gaming device among mobile device users.
Let me know if you have any questions about it

hi can you share the method ,how to setup the map controls for PPSSPP games.

Thanks

This post has been edited by nyk4231: Nov 18 2014, 01:28 AM

Go to Settings, Controls, Control mapping and map what you want against the 9023. That's it
I'm using the regular(non-gold) PPSSPP.

Thank you.

PG-9023: Newly discovered supported device

Yesterday, I got to test the 9023 with a Xiaomi Mi Pad user.
Everything worked fine. Pairing and connection was successful on first attempt.
We also mapped controls for PPSSPP.

The Mi Pad has a gorgeous 1536x2048px 7.9" screen.
It uses NVIDIA Tegra K1 chipset which the new Nexus 9 also uses.

Thanks for your reply.

how to make a setup for play FIFA14/15..i use note3 and tab s.which apps i need to install?
need root my decive or not? any idea without root...coz i no want root my tab s just bought.

I've yet to buy a gamepad from TS, but he does provide good support and his pricing is the cheapest I've seen so far. Thanks TS for your great support when I asked about which game is supported

Tab S is a high end tablet. Recently I tested a 9023 with a Tab S 8.4 and they are compatible.
Root isn't compulsory and, AFAIK, isn't required to play FIFA 15.
Good news for keeping your warranty

Dear Nigtra,

May i know is this able to support Half Life 2 with Mi Pad ?

Regards
Chuan

Hi Bro!

I don't have a Mi Pad so I can't test HL2 with it.
But let's piece together, what I can find.

We already know the 9023 is compatible with the Mi Pad.
The Mi Pad uses the same chipset, and also CPU, as the NVIDIA Shield tablet.

Here's a video of HL2 being played with a 9023 on a Shield tablet.
The tablet was pre-connected; I can't see which mode he used.


This video showed the 9023, also with a Shield, playing Doom 3.
Take note at 7:47, the player paired in X-Home.


Let me know if you would like to take a chance

Thank you for your interest.

Dear Nigtra

Thanks for your information feeding =) if included postage to Kch Sarawak , how much will u charge for 9023 ?

Please check PM, bro.
Have a nice weekend

Hi may I know if you're currently selling the latest model with red accent?

Yes, my 9023 is the latest version, Nov 2014 batch with red accent.

Thank you

Hi. I have several questions regarding the pg-9023. I plan on using this on the lg g3 due to the form factor. Would you recommend this over the pg-9025 and why? How's portability with the pg-9023 vs pg-9025? Are there any other game pads that look like the pg-9023 for smartphones, like the phonejoy but cheaper? Thank you and sorry for all the questions

Hi,

Both the 9023 and 9025 are very good gaming companions. The 9025 is smaller than the 9023, so you can say the 9025 is more portable. The 9023 was designed for larger phones and tablets from the start, and hence larger in size. It can be extended to hold devices up to 280mm and has both a spring and locking mechanism to hold your device firmly in place. The 9023 holds your device centrally, just like the Phonejoy, as opposed to the 9025 which holds your device on top. But I don't have a controller as small as the Phonejoy that holds a phone centrally.

Both 9025 and 9023 are compatible with your G3. PM me if you want one.

Thank you for your interest

PG-9023: Unsupported device

This is a device found to be UNSUPPORTED by the 9023.

LENOVO IDEATAB A3000-H.The 9023 pairs and connects with the tablet but after that there's NO response at all.
Joystick, D-pad and ABXY buttons don't work.
I couldn't even adjust the tablet's volume using the 9023.

PG-9023: Newly discovered supported device

Recently I sold a 9023 to a buyer. One of his device happens to be a Honor 6 by Huawei. This device uses one of the rarer Hisilicon Kirin 920 chipset. According to buyer, everything worked well. He has PPSSPP installed. I would assume pairing and connecting to the Honor 6 was a success, so was mapping the controls within PPSSPP

PG-9023: Newly discovered supported device

Here is buyer who play games on a Microsoft Surface Pro.
The Surface Pro is quite a large device with a 10.6" full HD screen and runs Windows 8.

Pairing and connecting the 9023 with the Surface Pro was easy and smooth.
x360ce or Xbox 360 Controller Emulator is required to setup the 9023 so it must be pre-installed.
After mapping all the required controls, we may now begin our game.
The buyer tested with Far Cry 3.

A big thanks to the buyer for sharing the photo below.

PG-9023: Game support on iOS

I got asked a lot which games are supported on iOS with the 9023 but couldn't find an official game list which support controllers either from Apple nor from game publishers.

Here's an unofficial list on reddit.
Here's another from pocketgamer.
Yet another one here from afterpad.

All refs above point to one common thing: MFi. "MF" is Made For. "i" stands for iPhone, iPad, iPod or iDevices in general. If you don't see your game listed above, try to find out if the game has support for MFi. There's a very high chance the 9023 will support that game.

These are the sites I always turn to for info on portable gaming, jb and iOS in general.

I met Nigtra in person and got 9023....He explained me everything that needs to be known.....I am very much happy with his service and no complaint s on the product .....Thanks bro

Thank you for the kind words bro. Glad you like your purchase Its my pleasure doing business with you. Thanks again.

Ladies and gentlemen, I just found out the official Modern Combat 5: Blackout is available now for only rm3.50 on Google Play. I don't know if this is old news or when the offer is going to end but just thought I'd share this with everyone reading this post. There's no longer a need to go the 'unofficial' route now to get the highly popular MC5!!! I'm buying mine as I write this post☺☺☺

p/s: borrow this thread for asking question, hope ts don't mind

PG-9023: New device supported.

The last time I tested an Alcatel Onetouch Flash (6042D) was with the 9021. This time I tested it with a 9023 and connected them in both X-Home and A-Home modes. Both modes worked perfectly including the Volume and Track controls FYI, the Onetouch flash uses a Mediatek chipset(MT6592M).

Bro Pm price for two

PMed bro, please check. Thank you for your interest

PG-9023: New device supported

Just now managed to test the 9023 with a Huawei Mediapad X1. This is a 7 inch, 1920*1200 resolution android tablet with the Kirin 910 chipset from Hisilicon. Everything went smoothly. Even the media controls were useable.

Now we know, besides the Kirin 925, the 910 is also compatible

Does everyone test fifa 14. Mine not working

IPEGA PG-9023: Unsupported game

Last year about this time, I tested NOVA 3 or, its full name, N.O.V.A. 3 - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance. This game was playable although root access was required.

When I found out about a new version, and its free, I quickly downloaded and tested it with a 9023. This new version is called N.O.V.A. 3: Freedom Edition. Note that they are not using a hyphen after the 3 as in the original title, but a colon instead. Nitpicking aside, I realized the Freedom Edition CANNOT be played with a 9023. I tried both the X-Home and Y-Home modes to no success. Besides being ad supported, the Freedom Edition does indeed have this crucial difference from the paid version when it comes to gaming with an iPega. For those of you looking to play NOVA 3 with an iPega, you'll have better luck with the paid version.

bought this model from seller to pair with my samsung note 8.. can play game like modern combat no problem.. luv this !!

PM you d, hope to hear from you soon, 10q

PM replied bro, with some recommended games.

Thank you for your interest

Recently got a chance to test with the brand new and highly popular Asus Zenfone 2. The model tested was the 4GB ram model. Pairing the ZF2 and 9023 was smooth. The media controls were all working, just like the older zenfone models(4, 5 and 6). The buyer had FIFA15 and Modern Combat 5 installed. Due to network issues we weren't able to test FIFA15. However MC5 worked well

Here's an image of the 9023 connected to the ZF2.


Big thanks to the buyer for his permission for the image

hurmm, I have a mi pad and was wondering whether I could use this to do a ghetto nvidia shield tablet alternative. use this and pair my tablet with my PC using Kainy software, could you test it out for me? if it works i can play lego batman in bed!

Hi seller, please pm price with shipping to labuan.
Thanks.

Done, bro. Please check your PM. Thank you

Hey bro, available stock? Pm me with best price and where can cod? Thanks

Yes bro, the 9023 is still available. Please check PM for more info.

Thank you for your interest

Recently got to test a buyer's Levono Tab S8 tablet.


This particular model was S8-50CL. It was a decent, mid sized 2014 tablet; runs on Intel Atom Z3745, had a 1900x1200 IPS screen, calling capabilities and priced attractively at RM699 too. Pairing and connecting the 9023 with the S8 was trouble free. In fact I re-paired a few times just to show the buyer how its done properly. Each time they got paired and connected right away Proceeded to test by trying out the media controls and also the d-pad. All was working well. The buyer had just gotten the tablet and immediately installed a few games. Among them were Real Racing 3 but unfortunately he didn't try out the game before coming over; there were about 579mb of data to be downloaded before we can start the game. So we weren't able to test an actual game on that day. However, 2 days later he informed me that RR3 was indeed playable

Hi.
I am interested in this gamepad also for Microsoft Surface Pro.
Can you please tell me what exactly needs to be modified in order to fit mentioned tablet? (except for software modifications)
Thanks!

If my memory serve me right I remember it was a very tight fit with the Surface Pro - almost like there's no space left. The 9023 can barely hold the Surface Pro.

The photo was sent to me after the buyer made some mods but I didn't ask exactly what he did.

However there's a method that I came across earlier on about fitting a large phone on a 9017.
The user drilled some holes to relocate the screws on the 9017's phone holder so that it can be further stretched to accommodate the phone.

Latest version of the 9023 is now available at an even better price RM105 only
Take note of the new booklet user guide and box
