The SCUF Nomad Enhances Comfort and Performance for Mobile Gamers

— May 30, 2024 — Tech
SCUF Gaming revealed the SCUF Nomad controller for mobile gaming to support gamers on the go. This mobile-first controller provides a comfortable, premium experience with every detail, such as strategically placed thumbsticks and rear paddles, which enhance speed and control while reducing hand strain.

“Nomad’s contoured grips and full-size triggers are inspired by SCUF’s innovative paddle controllers, reimagined for mobile," says Jake Tenorio, Director of Product Marketing at SCUF Gaming, “Many mobile controllers don’t prioritize comfort, which directly affects your gaming performance and how long you can play. SCUF’s design philosophy is an ergonomics-first approach, which is something customers will notice immediately when they pick up the Nomad for the first time.”

SCUF Nomad is accompanied by a free iOS app that works without a paid subscription.
