It looks like Razer, who is known for making high quality PC gaming accessories, is working on their own iPhone game controller. The always reliable @evleaks today posted several press shots of the new device called "Kazuyo."
As you can see from the leaked image above, the gaming pad features a directional pad, shoulder buttons, and four regular buttons. There also appears to be a speaker on the right hand side of the controller.

Moga has officially unveiled its iPhone game controller and is now accepting pre-registration for the device. The Moga Ace Power is one of the first controllers to work with Apple's MFi (Made for iOS) gamepad support in iOS 7. It is compatible with the iPhone 5 and later and the fifth-generation iPod.
The controller connects to your iPhone or iPod via the Lightning port, and it features its own 1,800mAh battery that charges while you play. The gamepad includes dual analog sticks, a D-pad, four buttons and left and right top buttons.

The latest portable game controller entry from MOGA is almost here. TouchArcade was able to grab a video preview of the Ace Power for iOS 7 devices after it was briefly posted to YouTube. The gaming accessory takes advantage of built-in support for game controllers found in Apple's most recent mobile operating system.
The device has a portable design that fits around the iPhone, adding a directional pad, two analog sticks, four action buttons and R1/R2 and L1/L2 buttons for console-like gameplay. MOGA Boost Technology means there's a rechargeable 1800 mAh battery inside the controller to increase battery life.

ClamCase is one of the first accessory makers to take advantage of Apple's MFi (Made for iOS) game controller support in iOS 7. Apple previewed the new feature during an event called "Integrating with Game Controllers" at WWDC in June.
The Bluetooth gamepad features full-sized buttons, thumbstick controls and a built-in lithium-ion battery. Players can also use their iOS device's integrated gyroscope and accelerometer for "3D motion," and will still have access to their iPhone's touch-based controls while using the GameCase.

Back in April, PocketGamer claimed Apple secretly met with developers at the annual Game Developers Conference to discuss production of an unnamed iOS "joypad". It was then discovered at the Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, that Apple had added MFi (Made for iOS) game controller support to iOS 7. Apple followed up the MFi announcement by holding a 45-minute long session on Tuesday, where they showed developers app frameworks and hardware mock-ups for third-party iOS controllers, according to Apple Insider.
The event was entitled "Integrating with Game Controllers", and Apple revealed that both Logitech and Moga were already collaborating on some prototypes. Apple also showed two mock-ups of a "form-fitting" design, and a standalone device for both the iPhone and iPad. Both controllers featured the standard D-pad and dual analog sticks seen in most home console controllers these days. The form-fitting model turns the iPhone into a gamepad that and frees up space on its smaller display, and the standalone mock-up is a wireless device that does not need to connect to the iPhone or iPad to work. Both controller mock-ups featured a dedicated pause button, pressure-sensitive buttons and non-drifting D-pads.
