The Turtle Beach Atom Mobile Game Controller is built for immersive cloud gaming on all iPhone 15, 14, 13, 12 & 11 models. The Atom magnetically fuses together to conveniently fit in your pocket or in the included carrying pouch, and splits apart into two separate modules that connect via 2.4GHz wireless connection when it’s time to play. A low latency Bluetooth connection to your iPhone ensures reliable, lag-free connection when cloud gaming on Xbox Game Pass, GeForce Now, Steam Link, and more. Keep your phone right in its case thanks to the Atom’s versatile, two-piece design, and adjustable, spring-loaded smartphone clamps that accommodate every size of iPhone 11 and newer on the market. Console style controls bring the familiar, console feel into your mobile games, and the ergonomic handle shape keeps your hands relaxed and comfortable for hours of gameplay. Stay in the cloud longer with a reliable 20-hour battery life, and when it’s time to charge, keep your downtime to a minimum with just a 2.5-hour quick charge to get back to 100%. Configure additional features, discover new games to play, and update firmware by downloading the Atom companion app from the App Store.
I’ve been looking for a controller option for remote play for PS and XBOX, and had specific parameters.1) comfortable, 2) responsive, 3) portable, 4) NO BATTERY REQUIRED.Turtle Beach has hit the mark.Usually any TB branded product is pretty groovy, but I was skeptical as (let’s face it) most controllers for phone options are pretty bad.The adhesives and clamp work easily and are intuitive to operate.Synching and starting is a cinch (hold down the two obvious buttons).The collapse and charge setup is genius.If you are like me and play for hours and want an option to relocate while you do so (start playing on TV, move to another room just because, come back and resume) seamlessly, this is a killer game companion to have.
Edited to update original review—<br />I returned the previous controller, waited a day and decided I’d give it another shot and ordered another. This time around the controller works as advertised. I’ve had no disconnections in over a few hours whereas before I couldn’t get 30 mins in before it would randomly shut off on me. Must have been a defect in the first purchase. I’d give it 5 stars if Turtle Beach would come on and release the iOS app for the controller already.Original review-Overall this controller feels great and when it works, it works like a charm. The control sticks and buttons are functional. Unfortunately I have to agree with the other reviews on this controller. The damn thing keeps shutting off while I’m using it. First the right one shuts off and a few seconds later the left shuts off. I really wanted to like it for playing games on the go, but I guess I’ll have to look elsewhere and return this one.
This thing sucks. It constantly disconnects from phone even when it had full charge, triggers also click on their own a couple time after tapping once, one side will often disconnect and leave you stuck while the other side barely works. (All this happened in just using it on the first day.)
