It works with my case, Pixel 9 with Otterbox Commuter. I had to cut off the USB-C dust cover flap though. So far, all the games I care about just work with this controller. I'm pleasantly surprised how well it works. I downloaded the unleashed app and let it update, no issues there. The app is somewhat weird. It shows a bunch of games on there but I don't own it. I don't really use the app. I weighed the controller on a postal scale just all by itself, mine weighs right at 0.5 lbs. This is good for me, it feels nice and lightweight. I plan to bring this controller along with me backpacking and weight was important to me. The buttons, triggers, sticks all feel premium to me. I had no issue calibrating the sticks with the app. All I can say is, I hope this controller lasts. I really like it! I suppose if it starts to fail, I'll come back and update this review some day but for right now, I'm am very happy with it! Thank you ELO! Review: 10000x better than Backbone!!!! - I’ve used the Backbone and thought it was decent...until I got the Vagabond. This controller is on another level. The first thing I noticed was how much more comfortable it is. The joystick placement feels natural, not cramped like the Backbone, and the overall larger size actually makes it easier to hold for extended gaming sessions without hand fatigue. As for the features, everything advertised is spot on. It works seamlessly with iPhone without a single issue. The telescopic design feels sturdy and expands smoothly without any wobble. Gameplay is tight and responsive, with no noticeable input delay or lag whatsoever. One of the best parts is the ability to charge your phone while playing, (pass-through charging feature) and the port is at the bottom where you'd want it. My hands don't interfere with the charging at all, plus there's a 3.5 audio jack down there. Despite being lightweight, the build quality is solid. The buttons, triggers, and joysticks all feel premium and responsive. In terms of comfort and layout, it genuinely feels more like a console controller than anything else I’ve used for mobile gaming. It connects USB-C so you never have to worry about fiddling with bluetooth settings or drop outs. If you’re looking for a mobile controller that actually lives up to the hype, the Vagabond is it. It’s well-designed, comfortable, responsive, and just plain better than the competition. Oh and if you have dry hands like me...invest in a decent cleaning solution for the joysticks. They have GRIP. ## Features - 🏆 MOBILE GAMING: Transform your mobile device into a gaming console with the ELO Vagabond Hall Senso Mobile Gaming Controller.

Thank you ELO! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10000x better than Backbone!!!! *by R***E on April 8, 2025* I’ve used the Backbone and thought it was decent...until I got the Vagabond. This controller is on another level.

It gives you the full size / regular gaming controller feel and vibe, plus it's built to take your phone, with the case on! I have a OnePlus 12 phone with a camera bump and an aftermarket kickstand on my Spigen case and after I removed the swappable adaptive rubber/silicone pads that hold the phone in place, it held my phone perfectly fine. I've played the following games without any issues ..... Call of duty mobile Farlight84 Star Wars Hunters Blood Strike Rally Horizon Metal Storm Asphalt 8 Shadow Gun Legends PPSS22 Emulator (PS2 emulator) Star Wars Jedi Star Fighter and other PS2 games. Today I'm going to try it out on Battle Prime, Genshin Impact, Modern Strike Online, Nova Space Armada & MWT Tank Battles. *Edit- Battle Prime didn't work, Nova Space Armada didn't work, MWT tanks Battles didn't work, Modern Strike didn't work. Now I know people might feel some type of way about the usb-C connector and maybe a slight fear that it will come off or break off into the phone. I had that same fear but after repeatedly connecting my phone on and off several times I can comfortably say it's well built. The passthrough charging is not as fast as I would have hoped, and I'm using the correct quick charger and wire. I've tried several different chargers and wires and no change. If you game on high settings, the pass through charging will take forever to charge your phone back up. It kept my phones battery life from losing more power and in 40 minutes of Call Of Duty Mobile, I gained maybe 4 percent power. This is where I was slightly disappointed but it's not a big deal and they can fix it with the next controller. Actually, they can fix all my critiques with the next controller and they will instantly be #1 ! The controller does look premium but doesn't feel very premium. I say that because I also tested the Gamesir G8 Plus and in my opinion the Elo Vagabond and GameSir G8 Plus both have distinguishable traits that put them at the top of the list for amazing controllers. To be honest I think they are both the best! I ended up returning my GameSir G8 Plus and I've decided to keep my Elo Vagabond controller. Also, please reconsider the android apps design. Please focus on end-user visual aesthetics and please stop forcing landscape mode with the app. That's it, that's all, and I look forward to my mobile gaming a lot more than normal now with the Elo Vagabond Controller. ## Frequently Bought Together - ELO Vagabond Mobile Gaming Controller - iPhone 15/16, iPad Mini & Android Phone Controller (USBC) - Call of Duty Mobile, PS Remote Play, Xbox Cloud Gaming & More - MFI Certified Phone Game Controller - Aenllosi Hard Carrying Case Compatible with GameSir G8 Plus Mobile Game Controller, GameSir Phone Controller Organizer (Case Only) - abxylute S9 Full-Size Gaming Phone Controller for iPhone 15/16, iPad Mini 6/7 and Android Phone Tablet, Bluetooth and Type-C Mobile Gamepad with App, for Roblox, Genshin Impact, Call of Duty, Hall Joystick &Trigger, Handheld-Quality Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/664882755-elo-vagabond-mobile-gaming-controller-iphone-15-16-17-ipad](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/664882755-elo-vagabond-mobile-gaming-controller-iphone-15-16-17-ipad) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
