If you've ever tried to play a more demanding mobile game like a fast-paced shooter or a retro platformer, you've likely encountered the frustration of touchscreen controls. Acer understands this challenge, and their newly launched Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller (NGR400) is now available at Very.co.uk with a limited-time launch offer until April 20th.
This controller is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a more tactile gaming experience without compatibility issues. It boasts a standard console-style layout, complete with dual analog sticks, responsive face buttons, a D-pad, and shoulder buttons, all housed in a foldable, portable design perfect for gaming on the go.
The Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller connects via Bluetooth and features pass-through charging with 18W fast charging support. This means you can keep your device powered up while you're immersed in quests or competing in PvP matches.
It's compatible with Android devices running version 9.0 and above, as well as the iPhone 15 series, thanks to its USB-C connection. The controller 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 complements the serious mobile gamer aesthetic. While mobile controllers are not a new concept, they have evolved significantly, and the Nitro aims to strike a balance between convenience and performance.
If you're considering upgrading your mobile gaming setup without breaking the bank, the introductory offer at Very makes this an ideal time to purchase. You can grab it for £49.99 before Easter, after which the price will increase to £69.99.
