WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading gaming accessory maker Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: HEAR) today revealed the Turtle Beach® Atom™ Controller as its latest mobile gaming controller and newest addition to the brand’s expanding and critically-acclaimed controller portfolio, which includes the Recon Cloud Hybrid Controller, Recon Controller, and REACT-R Controller. The Atom Controller is an easily packable and portable mobile gaming controller with a unique design that magnetically connects to fit in a pocket, and splits apart into two separate modules when it’s time to play. The Atom’s versatile two-piece design and adjustable, spring-loaded smartphone clamps accommodate nearly every size Android 8.0+ smartphone on the market, with no need to remove phone cases. The two Atom modules use Turtle Beach’s proprietary 2.4GHz wireless link to stay connected to each other when gaming, while low-latency Bluetooth® ensures a reliable, lag-free connection with Android smartphones when cloud gaming on Xbox Game Pass, GeForce Now, Steam Link, and more.
An exclusive Designed for Xbox Atom Controller comes in Black and Yellow and features the Xbox Guide button plus a complimentary 1-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass. The Atom Controller also comes in Black and Teal and in Red. All three versions launch November 14, 2022 and are available for pre-order today at www.turtlebeach.com and participating retailers worldwide for $99.99 MSRP.
“More and more, mobile gaming is becoming part of everyday life and our Atom Controller makes it easy for gamers to pick up and go without sacrificing quality controls,” said Juergen Stark, Chairman and CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “The continued positive reception to our console, PC, and now mobile controller products has been great. Expanding our portfolio to reach mobile gamers is another testament to Turtle Beach’s commitment to growing our share of the overall controller market. Atom is the latest in our expanded lineup of controllers launching this year, with more to come.”
The Atom Controller features console-style controls that bring the familiar feel to mobile gamers, and the ergonomic handle shape keeps hands relaxed and comfortable for hours. A reliable 20-hour battery takes just 2.5 hours to charge back to 100%, and the Atom Controller companion app will let gamers configure additional features and search for new games.
