ELO Vagabond Mobile Gaming Controller - iPhone 15/16, iPad Mini & Android Phone Controller (USBC) - Call of Duty Mobile, PS Remote Play, Xbox Cloud Gaming & More - MFI Certified Phone Game Controller

I love gaming and this product is one of the best. First, I did consider The Backbone, but chose this device because of its versatility. I have a Galaxy Fold 5 and it’s been a challenge to find a gaming companion to accommodate the size. This will fit large and small phones, and with the included size adapters makes this a serious no brainer, and I can keep my phone case on…It looks cool, and a real world gaming feel. Download the accompanying app for the best experience. BTW, their tech support was fast and fantastic. No fault of the device, I didn’t understand one of the features. I received a quick response on a holiday mind you, with a detailed explanation about the feature.I’m loving this product and the packaging itself for the device is very stylish and good looking enough to display. I just ordered the hard case to compliment my purchase.Gamers, purchase this product and it will not disappoint.

I’ve used the Backbone and thought it was decent...until I got the Vagabond. This controller is on another level. The first thing I noticed was how much more comfortable it is. The joystick placement feels natural, not cramped like the Backbone, and the overall larger size actually makes it easier to hold for extended gaming sessions without hand fatigue.As for the features, everything advertised is spot on. It works seamlessly with iPhone without a single issue. The telescopic design feels sturdy and expands smoothly without any wobble. Gameplay is tight and responsive, with no noticeable input delay or lag whatsoever.One of the best parts is the ability to charge your phone while playing, (pass-through charging feature) and the port is at the bottom where you'd want it. My hands don't interfere with the charging at all, plus there's a 3.5 audio jack down there.Despite being lightweight, the build quality is solid. The buttons, triggers, and joysticks all feel premium and responsive.In terms of comfort and layout, it genuinely feels more like a console controller than anything else I’ve used for mobile gaming. It connects USB-C so you never have to worry about fiddling with bluetooth settings or drop outs.If you’re looking for a mobile controller that actually lives up to the hype, the Vagabond is it. It’s well-designed, comfortable, responsive, and just plain better than the competition.Oh and if you have dry hands like me...invest in a decent cleaning solution for the joysticks. They have GRIP.

Product broke after 3 months due to a minor defect . Company boasts a 1 year warranty that they completely stand behind 100% . The controller is awesome …. They people over at ELO are top notch . Buy this controller now and rest assured they put a lot of thought into this design . I will be using this company for years to come. A+

Plug 'n' play worked right away. The construction of this controller does not feel as solid as the GameSir G8+, which is unfortunate when it's double the price. The controller body feels like cheap plastic, and the left side creaks when squeezing. It does not come with magnetic plates or include extra analogs like the G8+ either. It does come with a bunch of rubber adapters to help fit different phones. Even with these, it doesn't seem to fit the Pixel phones quite as well as I'd like, but I might just have to try different adapters.The LEDs are nice and just so happen to be my favorite color. The analog sticks feel good, however the grip material is too rough to the point that it begins to hurt to use after a while. The triggers feel slightly more responsive than the G8+ which is good. The back paddles have locking switches in case you don't want to accidentally press them. The d-pad is nicer than the G8+ as well, though still not perfect. It's a little too small and feels like it might be a bit too easy to accidentally press diagonals (actually you can see this yourself if you test the calibration: pressing very firmly on the down input will also press left, though you have to press pretty hard).I really wish the construction was better, but I'll probably stick with it since it works fine all things considered.

Absolutely love this controller. Zero latency & connectivity issues. I prefer this over the Backbone. Customer Support is attentive if there's an issue & it's backed by a one year warranty. This controller paid for itself within the first week.
