Acer Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller launches at Very with a limited-time discount for Easter

• The Acer Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller is available at Very.co.uk with a limited-time discount
• It features console-style controls, Bluetooth connectivity, and pass-through fast charging.
• Compatible with Android 9.0+ and iPhone 15 series

If you’ve ever tried to play a more demanding mobile title, say a fast-paced shooter or a retro platformer, you’ve probably hit that familiar wall where touchscreen controls just don’t feel right. Acer seems to get that. Their newly launched Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller (NGR400) is now available at Very.co.uk, and there’s a limited-time launch offer running until April 20th.

Based on the specs and design, this looks like a solid pick for anyone who wants a more tactile experience without jumping through compatibility hoops. The controller features a standard console-style layout, dual analogue sticks, responsive face buttons, a D-pad, and shoulder buttons all packed into a foldable body designed for portability. You can easily use it on the go.

It connects via Bluetooth, and there’s pass-through charging built in, supporting 18W fast charging. That means you can keep your phone juiced while grinding quests or queueing up for another PvP match. 

It works with Android 9.0 and up, and iPhone 15 models thanks to the USB-C connection, and includes adjustable grips and padding to fit most phone sizes, even if you’re the kind of person who refuses to take the case off.

The look is clean and matches Acer’s Nitro branding, mostly matte black with some subtle red accents. It’s not flashy, but it fits well with the serious mobile gamer vibe. Controllers for mobile aren’t new, but they’ve come a long way, and the Nitro is clearly aiming to land somewhere in the middle of convenience and performance. 

If you’ve been looking to upgrade your mobile gaming setup without breaking the bank, the intro offer at Very makes this a decent time to check it out. Grab it for £49.99 before Easter, after which the price will be bumped up to £69.99.
