HyperX is providing ways to control the game, with their new Clutch wireless controller
HyperX have announced that they are bringing a new controller to gamers, specifically for Android and PC gamers, giving them options on how they play their games. With the rise of game streaming to mobile phones, it does come at a great time.
The Clutch Wireless Gaming Controller features a familiar looking shape and layout, so it won’t require you to reshape your hands to play with it, but if you have an Android device, you can connect to it via either Bluetooth 4.2 or a 2.4GHz wireless receiver. This means that you can clip it to your phone and enjoy some Call of Duty Mobile or open up Xbox Game Pass and blaze around Mexico and with a battery life of around 19 hours, you can game longer than your phone is likely to stay charged.
Of course, a good controller can adapt and this one also works on PC, via the included cable, so it sounds pretty amazing right, there are two things to note, the first is that the controller will not work with consoles, so it won’t be one controller to place them all, even if you use the cable.
The other isn’t as much an issue, more of an FYI and that is there is no audio output via the controller, so you will need to use your phone or PC for the audio source, which is really standard, but bares being highlighted.
As for availability, the first half of 2022 and local pricing will be confirmed closer to the launch date. For those who want the tech specs, they can be found below:
