    This is honestly one way to game when you don’t have a controller. It dies randomly but is easy to turn back on I think it’s cause when you don’t touch it while a story plays during a game it seems to go to sleep mode or it’s out of charge !

    This is a great bluetooth connected controller for your iphone. We got this for our son as he likes to play video games more than we do. It connected to his iphone with no issues, he then downloaded the app that Turtle Beach offers, which allows you to upgrade the controller’s firmware, check each half’s battery status, check and adjust the various dead zones, find compatible games, etc. He did have to remove his iphone case as this controller won't attach to the iphone with his case attached. Once configured, he was able to download several games that take advantage of having a controller attached. He really liked the feel of the joysticks and the button placement. We went on a long road trip and he would play games for a couple of hours at a time and not get any fatigue from the controller. It's nice how the two halves nest together for charging and also for storage in the included bag. It is charged with a USB C cable which most of us have nowadays. This is his first game controller and he really likes it and he says that he is playing more games on his iphone than before. A great buy!

    On the go console gaming on you phone

    I never realized how much having controls off screen for my phone would improve the gaming experience. When Apple announced a focus on gaming with the iPhone 15 line, I wanted to see how it might feel to make my phone a proper portable gaming console. The Turtle Beach Atom is a real cool concept. It essentially makes your phone/device a platform similar to another popular gaming console out there. It connects via Bluetooth. Initially I thought it might be clunky connecting, because it’s two pieces that slide on the ends of your phone. Both pieces have to be powered up, and once you have both on, there is a BT button that you hold to begin pairing it with your phone. You go into the settings to do the pairing, similar to any other BT device, and it’s connected. At that point, it’s a seamless connecting experience. It includes all typical controls, a D-pad, two sticks, A/B/X/Y, two left and two right triggers, a home button, and two contextual buttons. My model is for the iPhone, and it seems the Turtle Beach website has various colors and units that accommodate other types of phones and devices. I tried this with Arcade games as well as cloud gaming with Xbox. Both worked well, buttons will work if the game supports it. So on the Arcade game it was pretty simple, but when I was cloud gaming it was a full console experience. Very enjoyable. When you aren’t using it, the Atom tucks into itself and magnetically closes so you can travel with it compactly. It’s the size of a small controller. That’s also how you charge the pieces, there is a USB-C to USB-A cable with it and a single port on one of the pieces. A light tells you the charging status and also when it’s connecting via BT. The only thing I didn’t like about this experience was that it won’t accommodate most cases. A very thin case will probably fit, but I have a pretty thin case on my phone and I feel like I need to remove it to have a secure attachment. So if you use a bulky case, this will probably require you to remove it. Otherwise, this is a really fun accessory for your phone.
