With smartphone and tablet gaming becoming something of a rage in recent years, people of all ages are easily getting into the gaming groove. Even though using touchscreen controls for games like Angry Birds is more convenient than using physical ones, some games as well as some people are more compatible with physical controls and third-party add-ons such as Fructel’s Gametel Bluetooth controller, which is the perfect solution for these sorts.
What is it?
The Fructel Gametel controller is a Bluetooth controller whose solid build quality and cross platform support makes it a must-buy for all mobile gamers.
Design and Features
- This lightweight controller weighs a mere 81 g and measures 116 x 65 x 15 mm making it easily portable.
- A few glossy black flourishes around the buttons complement the plastic matt black body perfectly.
- Two shoulder buttons located on the rear along with a four way control pad on the left, four way action buttons on the right and start buttons placed right in the middle.
- The micro USB port located at the bottom of the device is used for charging the 250mAh Lithium-ion polymer battery promising 9 hrs of gameplay on full charge.
- Just alongside the USB port is a red charge indicator LED and also a green one that lights on when the Bluetooth controller is in use.
- Solid spring-loaded clamps which can extend up to 72 mm with rubber flaps are placed on either end. These hold your smartphone firmly in place and protect it from scratches. The rubber flap at the top can even be used for volume level changes. However, the addition of Bluetooth functions makes the clamps optional.
- Supports over 200 games including many ‘classic’ titles.
Priced at £49.99, this is one physical gaming controller that is worth buying for your tablet or smartphone if you’re an emulator junkie.
