- The Acer Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller is now on offer at Very.co.uk for a limited time.

- Compatible with Android 9.0+ and the iPhone 15 series.
If you've ever tried playing a demanding mobile game—like a fast-paced shooter or a retro platformer—you've likely hit that familiar wall where touchscreen controls just don't cut it. Acer seems to understand this. Their newly launched Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller (NGR400) is now available at Very.co.uk, with a special launch offer running until April 20th.
Judging by its specs and design, this controller is a solid choice for anyone seeking a more tactile gaming experience without compatibility headaches. It features a standard console-style layout, dual analogue sticks, responsive face buttons, a D-pad, and shoulder buttons, all housed in a foldable, portable design. It's easy to take with you and use on the go.
Connection is via Bluetooth, and it includes built-in pass-through charging that supports 18W fast charging. This means you can keep your phone powered up while tackling lengthy quests or jumping into another PvP match.
It's compatible with Android 9.0 and above, as well as iPhone 15 models thanks to the USB-C port. The controller also includes adjustable grips and padding to accommodate most phone sizes—even if you prefer to keep your protective case on.

The design is sleek and aligns with Acer's Nitro branding, featuring a mostly matte black finish with subtle red accents. It's not overly flashy, but it fits the serious mobile gamer aesthetic. While mobile controllers aren't a new concept, they have evolved significantly, and the Nitro model strikes a balance between convenience and performance.
If you're looking to upgrade your mobile gaming setup without spending a fortune, the introductory offer at Very makes this a great time to consider it. You can get it for £49.99 until Easter, after which the price will increase to £69.99.
