Here’s how ELO Gaming described Vagabond’s features:
- Full-sized hall sensor joysticks and triggers. Experience precision with full-sized hall sensor joysticks that ensure accurate movement and eliminate stick drift. The analog hall sensor triggers offer enhanced control, giving gamers the responsiveness they need to excel.
- 1ms silent mechanical switch buttons. Built with 1 ms silent mechanical switch buttons, Vagabond provides instant response times for fast-paced gaming. This technology ensures that every button press registers with precision, giving gamers a competitive edge.
- Universal fit for all phones and iPad mini. Designed to accommodate all phone sizes, including those with cases, the Vagabond’s telescopic design ensures a perfect fit. Its compatibility with the iPad Mini and mini-tablets further expands its versatility.
- Comfort-driven design. Vagabond’s ergonomic shape mirrors that of a traditional console controller, providing a comfortable grip that prevents hand fatigue during extended gaming sessions. Its foldable design makes it portable and easy to carry.
- Direct connection for instant response. Unlike Bluetooth controllers, Vagabond connects directly to devices through the port. That eliminates lag and ensures smooth, uninterrupted gaming.
Elo said Vagabond’s design and functionality reflect the company’s dedication to the gaming community, which it consulted during the controller’s development.
Vagabond is also compatible with Elo’s companion remote play and cloud gaming app, Unleashed. The company said that further enhances the mobile gaming experience by enabling gameplay on titles that may not natively support controllers.
