SCUF Nomad Mobile Gaming Controller Review

A Closer Look

The SCUF Nomad controller itself has a sleek, matte black finish with subtle SCUF branding on the left side. The textured grips and ergonomic design looks great for long gaming sessions, and it certainly looks more ergonomic than some of the cheaper controllers on the market that can often be quite blocky. The layout of the buttons, triggers, and thumb sticks appears standard, with the exception of the face buttons, which do look a little smaller than standard.

There’s a firm grip design on the back, so it won’t slip and send your phone tumbling to the floor. There’s also a pair of paddle controllers, which are fully programmable.

There are programmable triggers on the back, and you can set the curve and actuation point for both the analogue triggers to suit your taste.

There’s a little wedge here that can be used to adapt smaller iPhones for a snug fit.

It just clips on to ensure the camera bump is in the right place, simple enough.

Finally there are some indicator lights on the bottom right, showing power, pairing, mode, etc.
