PuK Gaming aims to change the way you play on mobile with modular hardware to game on the go
  • PuK Gaming has built modular hardware specifically for mobile
  • The PuK Thumbstick, Grips, and Triggers transform your phone into a controller
  • The PuK Umbilical Link is a reinforced USB-C cable

It seems like the days of wrestling with touchscreen controls are numbered. PuK Gaming, the new kid on the controller block (with some very seasoned hands behind the scenes), is rolling out a full lineup of modular hardware made just for mobile. And it’s not just another controller clone - this is apparently a whole ecosystem built for serious gaming on the go.

I suppose you can forget lugging around full-size controllers that barely fit in your backpack. PuK’s approach is sleek and lightweight, so you mix and match what works for your playstyle. 

Leading the charge is the PuK Thumbstick, a clever bit of kit that magnetically anchors to the back of your phone while placing a precision stick exactly where your on-screen joystick usually lives. No latency, no screen damage, no slipping.

Now, if you need a better hold, the PuK Grips wrap your device with ergonomic comfort, giving you that familiar console feel without adding bulk. They're case-friendly, cool under pressure, and built to stay out of your way.

Then there’s the PuK Triggers - real, tactile feedback with pro-grade response times? I'd say that’s a win, whether you’re dropping into battle royales or sprinting through fast-paced shooters.

Rounding things out is the PuK Umbilical Link, a reinforced USB-C cable with a sharp 90-degree design. Power, video, audio - it’s all covered, without turning your setup into a spaghetti junction.

Looking to use these tools somewhere? Here’s a list of the best games with controller support on iOS!

It’s a fresh take on control, and it comes from folks who know their way around a controller. Co-founder Simon Burgess helped bring SCUF to life, and now he and his team are giving mobile gaming the upgrade it deserves.
