If you've ever struggled with the limitations of touchscreen controls while playing demanding mobile games like fast-paced shooters or retro platformers, Acer has a solution that might catch your eye. The newly launched Acer Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller (NGR400) is now available at Very.co.uk, and you can take advantage of a limited-time launch offer until April 20th.
This controller is designed to deliver a more tactile gaming experience without the hassle of compatibility issues. It boasts a standard console-style layout, complete with dual analog sticks, responsive face buttons, a D-pad, and shoulder buttons, all neatly packed into a foldable body that's perfect for on-the-go gaming.
Connecting via Bluetooth, the Nitro also features pass-through charging with support for 18W fast charging, allowing you to keep your phone powered up while you dive into quests or battle it out in PvP matches.
The controller is compatible with devices running Android 9.0 and above, as well as the iPhone 15 series, thanks to its USB-C connection. It also includes adjustable grips and padding to accommodate most phone sizes, even if you prefer to keep your case on.
The design is sleek and aligns with Acer's Nitro branding, featuring a mostly matte black finish with subtle red accents. It's not overly flashy but perfectly suits the aesthetic of a serious mobile gamer. While mobile gaming controllers aren't a new concept, they've evolved significantly, and the Nitro strikes a balance between convenience and performance.
If you're considering upgrading your mobile gaming setup without breaking the bank, now's a great time to take a look. The introductory offer at Very.co.uk prices the Acer Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller at £49.99 until Easter, after which it will increase to £69.99.
