Overview
Turtle Beach splits the Atom into two handles that clamp onto either side of an iPhone and link to it over Bluetooth. When play ends the halves snap together magnetically into a pocket sized block, and a carrying pouch is included.
Console style sticks and buttons make cloud streamed games playable on a phone without touch controls. Compatibility is limited to iPhone models listed in the bullets, and the phone can stay in its case thanks to spring loaded clamps.
Who it's for
Commuters and travelers who play cloud games on an iPhone and want real controls that fold into a pocket. Players on Android phones are not covered by the listing.
Pros and cons
- Folds into a pocket sized block
- Phone can stay in its case
- Long battery with quick charge
- Low latency Bluetooth
- IPhone only, no Android listed
- Charging port type not listed
- Halves rely on separate wireless link
- Only ten buttons for complex games
Performance notes
Responsiveness depends on the low latency Bluetooth link to the phone and, in cloud gaming, on the home or mobile network feeding the stream. The two halves talk to each other over their own wireless link, so both need charge. Spring loaded clamps hold the phone firmly while the ergonomic handles hold the hands in a relaxed grip.
