Leadjoy M1

Mobile gaming is huge but, trying to play games on a mobile phone is tricky at best and can often result in over-heated phones due to the nature of surrounding your phone and not giving enough ventilation, not to mention the fiddliness of using a small touchscreen to game. The Leadjoy M1 is the latest mobile gaming controller to be designed specifically for iPhones and, more specifically, designed to help combat the over-heating problem.

It comes with a plate on the back brace that can host a magnetic cooler (note – this is bought separately) which is placed to have maximum effect when keeping the phone cool. Besides the obvious advantage of keeping it cooler to hold and use, this also helps to keep the internal components in better health, extending the life of your mobile.

The controller includes my favourite ‘new’ thing (getting much more common now!), ‘Hall Effect’ sticks for more accurate control and reaction time as well as analogue bumper buttons that you can also switch to hair trigger with the flick of a button to suit whatever you are using them for. The handles are nicely textured to help with grip so less chance of sweaty hands affecting your game play! The phone connects to the controller via a lightning port as well as the controller being able to be plugged in itself at the same time so you can charge your phone and controller while playing your favourite game.

Perhaps unsurprisingly these days, it’s set up for remote play and is compatible with nearly all the most popular streaming services such as Steam Link, Xbox Remote Play and Amazon Luna allowing you to indulge in PC or games console gaming anywhere with a connection. The buttons are also re-programmable so you can modify it to suit certain games or set it up to reflect your favourite gaming system that you’re familiar with. RRP £79.99
