Turtle Beach's new hyper-portable Atom Controller has mobile gaming on lock
Low-key? Crushed this is not the Backbone killer I was hoping for with my iPhone 14 Pro Max having to succumb to its standard - this could easily be the ‘one’ time I am envious of Android gamers around the world with a new Turtle Beach two-piece mobile controller invading the market with its Atom series.
Turtle Beach’s newest game-changer is a game-changer - literally. The design is nice and Xbox gamers get some extra love courtesy of an Xbox Guide button. Peep the full details and start mapping out your holiday season gifts recipients.
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 2.4GHz 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 Atommodules 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.”
