Blackberry innovation -
What gamepads are supported right now?The SteelSeries Free, Gametel, MOGA and the Wii Remote
New controllers become available in system updates and your game will start receiving gamepad inputs from the new hardware. Because the Gamepad API is an abstraction above HID, and because we map each gamepad’s unique HID report format to the Gamepad API, you don’t need to write any code that’s specific to a single controller.
The Gamepad API is integrated into the Screen library, the same library you are already using to handle touch, keyboard, and other input events. All users have to do is pair their device through the Bluetooth settings screen for it to start sending inputs to your game.
BlackBerry 10 Now Offers More Than 120,000 Applications (May 13)

BlackBerry was by far the easiest port
Games running after a couple of days, First runs in the simulator After the simulator runs, the games worked perfectly on the device after we got one It looks like the games will run without changes on BlackBerry 10 devices 10tons has always used native C/C++ and standard technologies, thus the BlackBerry SDK was a
perfect match for our existing tech. One of the most hassle free platforms ever (we've done iOS, Symbian, Android, webOS, bada,
Windows, Mac OS X) Number of unique code lines in the BlackBerry implementation is only around 400
(Android implementation has around 2000 lines). Great support from RIM (technical, marketing etc.) Check out our PlayBook games at: http://www.10tons.com/Games/playbook.html
PlayBook and BB10
• Lower initial sale peak at launch (than iOS)• BUT, slower decline and reoccurring peaks• 50/50 sales between Playbook and BB10 so far• Great development tools, it took us about one week to
get full QNX platform support in our in-house engine.
• Well worth the investment!
Alpha Zero on BB10 and Playbook
"one f***ing day”! "My CTO likes the platform and tools.
My CFO likes the app store and security, and I like the devices," – CEO Michael Schade
