Apple Sells GAMR, a Game Controller You Step On

Apple now sells the GAMR Active Game Controller, a floor pad you play with your feet instead of your hands. It costs $199.95 and is listed as online only.

What the GAMR Active Game Controller Is

GAMR is a pressure-sensitive play pad from Gamex Studios. You stand on it and step on nine zones, which turns gaming into a full-body activity. The zones stand in for the directional pad and the A, B, X, and Y buttons of a regular gamepad, so games that use those inputs can work with it.

The pad is made of rollable TPE with a textured top and an anti-slip base. It works with many Apple Arcade and App Store games, plus free original games in the GAMR app. The listing says it suits active, casual, and rhythm-style games best.

Warranty Note

Apple sells it, but Apple doesn’t make it. Apple’s Limited Warranty doesn’t apply because GAMR isn’t an Apple-branded product. Gamex Studios handles service and support under its own terms, so gamers with a problem need to contact the maker directly.
