[TheLostSwede]

Best-selling gaming headset and leading gaming accessory maker Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: HEAR) today announced the launch of the Turtle Beach Atom Controller, the brand's new hyper-portable mobile gaming controller. The Atom Controller is an easily packable and portable mobile gaming controller with a unique design. The Atom's two ergonomic grip modules fit nearly every size Android 8.0+ smartphone, and adjustable spring-loaded clamps ensure there is no need to remove phone cases. The two Atom modules stay connected wirelessly to perform as a single unit when gaming using Turtle Beach's proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless link, while low-latency Bluetooth guarantees a lag-free connection with Android smartphones when cloud gaming on Xbox Game Pass, GeForce Now, Steam Link, and more. When it's time to stow-and-go, the two Atom modules magnetically connect to easily fit in a pocket or in its included carrying case.

An exclusive Designed for Xbox Atom Controller is available in Black and Yellow and features the Xbox Guide button plus a complimentary 1-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The Atom Controller also comes in Black and Teal and Red versions, and all three colorways are available today at www.turtlebeach.com and participating retailers worldwide for $99.99 MSRP.




"Mobile gaming is an increasingly larger share of overall gaming, and our Atom Controller lets mobile gamers enjoy their favorite games with grips that feel great in their hands, and it's easy to pack and go," said Juergen Stark, Chairman and CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. "We're driven by the continued great reception to our growing controller portfolio, which pushes us to create additional products that stand out and deliver an advantage. Beyond its unique packable design, the Atom's ergonomic grips are thicker and more robust than what's currently on the market, providing extended comfort while gaming and an overall great feeling in-hand so you can focus on winning."

The Atom Controller brings the familiar console-style controller feel to mobile gamers, and the ergonomic handles keep hands relaxed and comfortable for hours. A reliable 20-hour battery charges up in just over two hours, and the upcoming Atom Controller companion app will let gamers configure additional features and search for new games.

The complete list of Atom Controller features includes:

• Complimentary Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: Includes a 1-month free subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, giving players access to an expansive library of games that work perfectly with the Atom Controller.
  Complimentary subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is only available with the Designed for Xbox Atom Controller in Black and Yellow.

I'd rather use my Razer Kishi that I bought for $26 that actually has a type C connection and has the ability to work while your phone charge--making a Note20 with a Spigen Tough Armor fit in it is a bit of a challenge tough.

I wish they would create one like this for iPhone. That's the reason I refuse to buy a Razer, etc. is because they require you to basically remove the phone case if you want to use their controller and I refuse to go through that hassle.

That's a bit disingenuous as the Kishi is NOT $26. You got a crazy deal or bought one well used.
