Overview
An iPhone gamer who wants paddles and Hall effect sticks on a phone gets the SCUF Nomad, a wireless controller that connects over Bluetooth and has a USB-C port. An ergonomic shape and a subscription-free app round out the setup.
Customizable paddles and stick tuning in a free app give it a performance-controller feel, and compatibility with many cases means the phone need not be stripped down. Cloud and remote play services are named in the title. The listing leaves out a phone size range, so fit across models is unconfirmed.
Who it's for
Competitive mobile players who stream from PlayStation, Xbox Game Pass or Steam Link and want to keep a case on. Those who need an Android controller should choose a different model.
Pros and cons
- Two rear paddles
- Anti-drift Hall effect thumbsticks
- Subscription-free tuning app
- One-button capture for clips
- IOS only per the specs
- Phone size range not listed
- Charge time unstated
Performance notes
Hall effect sticks use sensing that avoids contact wear, which is the basis for the anti-drift claim. Paddles map rear buttons so fingers can stay on the sticks, and the app changes stick shape and sensitivity. Bluetooth link quality and the cloud network set the delay in streamed games.
