Scuf makes the best PS5 and Xbox controllers, so when the company announced it was coming out with a mobile controller, I was excited. That enthusiasm was tempered a little when I saw that the controller isn't compatible with Android; the Nomad is designed primarily for iPhones, and while Scuf mentions that it wants to bring the controller to Android devices, that may take a while.
Nevertheless, I use an iPhone 15 Pro Max as my secondary phone, so I decided to try out the Nomad anyway, and see if it's usable with Android devices as well. I don't normally play games on mobile, but that has changed considerably over the course of the last year; with a one-year-old in the house, it just isn't possible to lock myself in the gaming room for hours on end, so these days, I carve out 30-minute gaming sessions on the couch, using either the Steam Deck (when I remember to charge it) or my phone.
