Mobile gaming trigger
While playing challenging games like PUBG on the smartphone, youngsters often suffer from discomfort and cramps as they have to hold the device for long and press buttons frequently. To address this issue, tech companies have come up with handy mobile gaming triggers, popularly called universal phone grips. This gaming accessory comes with two handles on both sides, allowing the players to rest their palms comfortably. There are fire-trigger buttons on the surface that acts like a standard gaming controller.
Controller attachment
As opposed to gaming trigger, a controller attachment is customised to provide better screen comfort and comes with a familiar console layout. Its features include, tactile buttons, thumb-sticks and bumpers, and it gets its power from the phone’s charging port. The two kinds of controller attachments available in the gaming market are USB Type-C and Lightning. Both can stretch and clamp easily into any modern smartphone. The extra screen space further acts as a great tool for story-driven games.
Cooling pad
Overheating is a major challenge in mobile phone gaming, especially while playing competitive games for extensive hours. This is where a cooling pad comes in handy that not only regulates the temperature of the phone (by dragging fresh and cold air from the surrounding into the phone’s backside) but also prevents slow performance, life shortage of battery and automatic shutdowns. A good quality cooling pad usually has more than 1000 mAh battery and a spinning fan that works magically even while playing with optimum game settings. Often, it comes with two handles on either side that ensures better gripping.
