ELO Gaming has announced the official Kickstarter launch of the ELO Vagabond, an upcoming mobile controller boasting professional performance that "transforms any phone into a full-fledged gaming console."

The ELO Vagabond offers players a console-level experience with precision performance via its full-sized hall sensor joysticks. It also claims to provide the utmost comfort during long gaming sessions with a comfortable grip that won't disrupt hardcore campaigns. The telescopic element offers portability for on-the-go gamers as well - plus, its adjustable design can fit a wide variety of phone sizes. This includes phone cases, which eliminates the hassle of having to remove them before lodging the phone onto the dock.

As for connectivity, the ELO Vagabond puts convenience front and centre with the direct port to reduce latency. The 3.5mm auxiliary headphone cable jack adds to its functionality as well. Additionally, players can tinker around with customisation options with the ELO Unleashed app.
