Acer Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller (NGR400)

Foldable Mobile Controller from Acer Nitro gaming line, designed for smartphones and compact tablets with screen sizes up to 8.3 inches. The device belongs to the category of grip gamepads: the phone is inserted between two halves and connects directly via USB-C, eliminating delays typical of Bluetooth connections. Compatible with Android starting from version 9.0 and iPhones from the 15th series — essentially with any modern smartphone equipped with a USB-C port.

The foldable design distinguishes the controller from monolithic counterparts in transportability — when folded, it takes up significantly less space in a backpack or bag. Additional rubber inserts allow for adjusting the grip to devices of different thicknesses, including those in protective cases. The USB-C port supports passthrough charging up to 18W — the smartphone can be powered directly during gameplay without interrupting the session.

The Acer Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller is equipped with 12 buttons: two asymmetrically placed sticks, a four-position D-pad, a pair of bumpers, two triggers, and four face buttons. The control set is standard, without rear programmable buttons or Hall sensors, but this set is generally sufficient for mobile gaming. The controller draws power from the smartphone's USB port, does not have its own battery, and thus does not require separate charging.
