Kolos iPad Gaming Wheel

The Kolos iPad Gaming Wheel is said to be the first of its kind – assuming it actually manages to obtain the necessary funds from Kickstarter-like platform Indiegogo. If released, the Kolos iPad Gaming Wheel would obviously carve out a whole new accessories category by itself, and just in case you were wondering why it is called Kolos, that is because it means “colossus” in the Slavic languages. The Kolos iPad Gaming Wheel intends to function as a tabletop steering wheel which will cradle your iPad safe and sound while letting you experience a more authentic driving experience no matter where you are.

The company behind the Kolos iPad Gaming Wheel intends to raise a minimum of $150,000 within 28 days, and once this financial target is achieved, you can be sure that it would not be too long before the Kolos iPad Gaming Wheel will literally end up in the hands of avid iPad gamers everywhere. Features of this gaming wheel include a comfortable, anti-perspirant rubber coating, and with a narrow diameter, the wheel will be able to handle iOS racing and flying games in a far easier and relaxed manner. With a high quality metallic-colored base and a clamp which holds tight to almost any table, you can be sure that the Kolos iPad Gaming Wheel will play nice with the iPad 2, third and fourth generation iPads.

It was not so long ago when we told you about KOLOS, the first ever gaming wheel that’s specifically designed for the iPad. Well, today, the folks behind the ingenious creation is happy to announce that KOLOS has been launched on Indiegogo, a crowdfunding site. It also informed us that it has made some minor corrections to the price. Beginning today, you can pledge $50 for the steering wheel. Once it launches in the market, the retail price of the steering wheel will go up to $69,95.

But if you’ve got more cash to spare, you can get the full pack (a steering wheel, a base and a clamping system) for $85. The expected retail price of the full pack will go up to $120. Expected delivery dates will be on May next year. Compatible with all iPad models except for the iPad 1 and the iPad mini, KOLOS features a steering wheel that’s made from anti-perspirant rubber coating technology, high -uality metallized plastic base, rubberized circles on the bottom of the base for enhanced stability, a landscape mode-only gaming experience, an auto-centring function, and more.

I’m not sure about you guys, but playing racing games like Asphalt and Real Racing on the iPad is a lot more fun compared to playing it on the iPhone, probably due to the size of the iPad which is almost the size of a steering wheel, giving it a more “realistic” feel to it and providing better control. However that’s just my opinion, but if you think that racing games are indeed more fun with a larger device, you might be interested to learn that an Indiegogo project has recently been launched for an iPad accessory called the KOLOS, an accessory which its inventors are calling the first iPad gaming wheel.

As you might have surmised, the KOLOS is an accessory that you can use with your iPad. It comes with clamps in the middle that you can hook your iPad to, and clamps at the bottom that allows you to attach it to a table’s edge. This will basically transform your iPad into a steering wheel of sorts in which you can use to play racing games, or basically any game that requires you to tilt your tablet to the left or right. It sounds like a pretty awesome idea and if you’d like to learn more, check it out in the video above or head on over to its website for the details.
