PC GAMER tries the SCUF NOMAD 🎮

[@KitGuruTech]

Sorry for the spam - please report any that you see! While you're here, is the Nomad something you would use for gaming on the go?

[@boltsandbraces6261]

looks like a pretty good gadget, i cant say I game on my phone, I quite like the steam deck however but its PC g ames

[@DavidLeBon-qq9vr]

steamdeck is good, I dont know how many people play games on their phone, and my missus plays the worst garbage ive ever seen on her phone, she would never put a controller on her phone. wondering the target audience - I guess phones are popular and everyone has one....

[@KitGuruTech]

Me neither to be honest. The Nomad did make games more accessible on mobile though. I can see the appeal but it desperately needs Android support - Mat

[@Praireboy-hg8ip]

The price of this gets me. It’s very very expensive to play a mobile game on the bus or something

[@canarychrome7012]

Some good phone games out tbh if you spend some time looking.

[@CatherineMitchell-br8dx]

Strange that as a business they would exclude so many phone users, i'd like to try this out in the future 😊

[@NarayanaNagishetti]

Does it connect ok everytime? and is there any lag ? I used to have something similar and I found if email or whatsapp was running in the background it would lag the controller system at times

[@BlackLionV]

@NarayanaNagishetti controller is laggy of and on with iOS 18.2

[@FkeerChand-n4x]

Now my son wants this for christmas - cheers Kitguru.

[@KitGuruTech]

You're welcome, merry Christmas! 😂 - Mat

[@thetechdevil-jn1vo]

🤩

[@festerleech4952]

Its just never ending Christmas list with this channel!

[@pixelrefresh348]

It's a nice premium product that goes perfectly with an iPhone. And when you look at the GPUs they stick in modern iPhones it totally makes sense to use it as a casual gamer

[@KitGuruTech]

The experience on a newer model iPhone is not a million miles away from a Switch etc

[@SubhashSonawane-nh4st]

Looks good, but id love to get my hands on it to get a feel for the buttons and controller systems.

[@EvaMorris3718-g2z]

Does the controller support vibration feedback or haptic feedback?

[@hothardwareforthewin-he4fz]

my mate has this he uses it all the time. He says the trigger buttons need to be thicker.

[@KitGuruTech]

Yes it would help a bit I feel too

[@mukeemkhan8153]

How do the button feel, weird question but I had stuck buttons on my scuf Playstation controller after 3 months, and I dont even think I sweat a lot either

[@KitGuruTech]

The ABXY buttons feel tactile and well made - Mat

[@RainbowSunset-uq2hs]

only for iOS? Corsair really need a wake up call at times.

[@KitGuruTech]

It's the biggest downside to it in my opinion - Mat

[@pixelrefresh348]

Glad it's only for iOS. Android is just rubbish and always has been.

[@SandipKumar-dq7ts]

I am waiting for this for Android

[@KitGuruTech]

Same

[@EvaMorris3718-g2z]

Absolutely, it's as someone else said - it's strange that they would leave out so many phone users

[@freefirevidio3214]

Good review, always honest mat - bravo !

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Bellestronsse]

Hall effect thumb sticks are a must. In theory the last way longer.

[@festerleech4952]

Whats wrong with.a bit of stick drift?

[@VipulKoli-bm7oz]

I love it, can you customise the colours and finishing etc? Their website wont load for me today

[@dr9997]

The side buttons look good, you want them thicker? 03:50 ?

[@KitGuruTech]

I'd like the triggers to be a bit bigger - It's personal preference though, they don't feel bad by any means - Mat

[@user-uv8qn1br8q]

I suppose they don’t want this thing to be massive. It’s already quite chunky.

[@RainbowSunset-uq2hs]

Great review. Might get it for my son for Christmas

[@KitGuruTech]

He should be happy about that !

[@Eesaregood]

Really dont want to be dropping it on the floor at 0:20 brave man there Mat

[@KitGuruTech]

Yeah definitely not 😆

[@iamahappybunny7640]

Good review guys

[@KitGuruTech]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@arachnida-hr4sc]

Their quality control has been good for me, but ive read a lot of horror stories. - whats the bit at the bottom in your video, like with a logo on it is that a card slot?

[@KitGuruTech]

It's the spacer for raising the phone up - for countering the large camera bump on phones like the 15 Pro Max etc

[@amdforlife5591]

You can get cheap controllers for phones online but they likely don’t work properly with a lot of games or have that kind of software backing.

[@Abhishekkumar-j2d2b]

I like my SCUF playstation controller - expensive brand, not sure i would buy one again however, its not really any better than the playstation controller, just looks amazing

[@Iloveyoutube-oh4ug]

Excellent review Kitguru 🤘🏻 it looks well worth the money on todays market tbh

[@KitGuruTech]

Seems a lot of people think it’s very expensive. Interesting to get another perspective.

[@Linuxdistro15-ih8ox]

Nice job mat. Hard one to review.

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks!

[@Panama-nd5xy]

Thanks Mat, seemed you quite liked it, the software side seems decent.

[@KitGuruTech]

You're welcome! I did enjoy using it. It was a nice change of pace from sitting at my PC all the time :)

[@JulianTurner2019]

Would this work with other IOS devices like an iPad? Or could one exist in the future?

[@KitGuruTech]

I'm not sure if this device does sorry. A device like this for the iPad/Tablets could exist in theory, but wouldn't be the most ergonomic or comfortable experience I wouldn't have thought. iPads use iPadOS, I'm not sure if the current Scuf companion app is available on the iPad app store - Mat

[@Darknightsandwetdays-lb9ko]

looks like its pretty well made, fairly hefty price isnt it?

[@KitGuruTech]

It's on par with some of the competition - Not to say it's cheap though, they all need to come down in price a bit, just like most things I guess - Mat

[@Francioslusi-kg6cx]

I saw the thumbnail and the word SCUF and actually guessed the price to be £150. Quite surprised it was as cheap as it is.

[@harleylover9446]

Cheap ? 😵‍💫 seriously ? 😂

[@NoahLife97]

This is so cool!

[@BrookesStevenson-vw4xf]

how much !!!!!

[@KitGuruTech]

🤣

[@monusaikia3145]

That is a lot of money for a small controller for your phone Would like it for GTA on my phone, I play it a lot on the move

[@rufusmctavish1164]

I quite like the software side of it. But i can’t see me ever wanting this

[@KitGuruTech]

Corsair always put a lot of time into their software

[@AsrafAlli-k4z]

The app looks good, Corsair know how to make software, at leasat

[@KitGuruTech]

Indeed they do - Elgato especially

[@PCPro2017]

Looks neat and will certainly reduce your chances of iPhone finger dents and carpal tunnel syndrome 😂

[@SarahBytesBack-s4e]

Oh god not the iPhone pinky!! 😂😂

[@KitGuruTech]

That’s one way of looking at it !

[@lakshitchauhan3697]

I like this, I have had one for a while, but I dont like how its just apple supported. there are a lot more gamers on android than apple. no doubt about that!

[@geofftatesmate7748]

Not sure why people are complaining so much about the price

[@festerleech4952]

And Scuf is a cool name.

[@stickyfingers9710]

scuf stuff is very expensive. Can’t get over the price of their game pass when I last looked at them

[@KitGuruTech]

They are quite expensive yes

[@nishantgoley1234]

Oh boy, that is very expensive, thats around the same price as the high end Microsoft elite controller for the xbox and I dont understand why this would be priced the same, its a few bits of plastic

[@FrankLeCross-fo5kr]

Shame its not for Android, I dont use any Apple gear. I saw this on sale recently too.

[@KitGuruTech]

Definitely - Android support is needed ASAP - Mat

[@bobsmithson8592]

weird they haven’t put any effort into android at all

[@sortingoutthebills-dy6td]

not sure how I’d answer my phone if I was using this 😂

[@KitGuruTech]

Wouldn’t be too hard to disconnect it quickly.

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

I’ll have two. 😂

[@dilkhushkumardilkhushkumar7707]

Its a pretty nice design, but I wonder if anyone would use this on public transport? you would look like a right lemon TBH

[@SarahBytesBack-s4e]

A cool gift for 'gamers on the move' though! Long train and plane journey boredom fixed!

[@darrk_matter]

I mean, they’re losing out by not supporting android

[@vikhelizhimo4858]

Not. for me, and no android support, so even if it was for me, i couldnt buy it. Reckon they did a deal with Apple? wouldnt surprise me

[@CaptConfusion71]

They lost me at iPhone only.......

[@thetechdevil-jn1vo]

Not bad. But I wouldn’t pay that kid of money for this.

[@KitGuruTech]

How much would you pay for it ? Interested to hear.

[@El_Hamzoh]

Got it for £50

[@KitGuruTech]

Very good !

[@philipjfry628]

Dont blame them for not supporting android. That whole ecosystem is just a mess.

[@shahidalam5203]

Crisp and response analogue sticks? thats a first for SCUF/Corsair, usually they drop off in a few days, utter garbage

[@hairsprungdutchtechnique9626]

well thats cheap ,as usual for corsair. bargin innit !

[@JonathanPilson-mu3rg]

good review for a meh product !

[@rohafin]

bought it and regret it.. input lagg is insane.. unplayable..

[@UnitedAlgorit-el4hy]

Great review but I will pass !

[@KitGuruTech]

Fair enough!

[@Cinema_Icons]

❤

[@CHANDANKUMAR-vk4gx]

Meh, as Shania Twain would say, that dont impress me much

[@dreschaffhausen5693]

Or could just pair a PS5 controller with your iPhone.

[@KitGuruTech]

A possibility but would only work if you had something to prop your phone up against etc

[@4thofjuly-fk4oq]

very overpriced like most things they make. Good review however.

[@KitGuruTech]

How much overpriced. In your opinion ?

[@Huevos_Rancheros]

the bluetooth on this controller is absolutely horrid. Can not play warzone mobile using this controller. INPUT DELAY is severe.

[@PCPro2017]

Didn't see that in the video, whereabouts was that?

[@sushma9253]

What a rip off !

[@Simplyswish-xx6wr]

Looks cool. My son would probably use it a lot he is never off his phone playing gta games 🥸

[@KitGuruTech]

Same here

[@HarshalMittal-n7e]

I love it, can you customise the colours and finishing etc? Their website wont load for me today

[@KitGuruTech]

There's a white version too 😎

[@SarahBytesBack-s4e]

Can always spruce up a controller with a thumb grip 😊
