Product 3 LLC is in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign for its mobile gaming device, the
iControlPad 2. With just under two weeks to go, the project has met over half of its $150k funding goal.

Improving on the original iControlPad, the device includes a QWERTY keypad as well as a swivel-mount that clamps to your smartphone of choice. As demonstrated in the video above, the controller is expected to work with any app due to its open-source nature. The Kickstarter page for the iControlPad 2 lists Ouya and Raspberry Pi support in addition to a 12-14 hour battery life.

[Thanks, Ashley!]
