TL;DR Gamesir is launching a vertical mobile game controller called the Pocket 1.
The controller features a design that clips onto your phone.
It will launch on December 25 at $34.99, but you can get an early bird discount, bringing the price down to $29.99.
Earlier this week, ANBERNIC revealed the full specs of its upcoming Game Boy-like vertical handheld, the RG 477V. Although we don’t know what the launch price will be yet, it’s safe to assume it will be over $200. If you need a dose of Game Boy nostalgia but want that experience at a more affordable price, you may be interested in Gamesir’s upcoming mobile controller.

Gaming hardware and accessory maker Gamesir is working on a new mobile controller called the Pocket 1 (or P1). The Android- and iOS-compatible device will be the company’s first vertical mobile controller. It features original Game Boy-style buttons that are also in a similar layout. However, it also includes four shoulder buttons, four face buttons, and two additional buttons above Start and Select. But the most notable design cue is that it features a hinge in the front that allows it to simply clip onto your phone.
The Gamesir Pocket 1 is a wireless controller, so it will use Bluetooth to connect with your phone. Since there’s no physical connection, it will run on a 600mAh battery. According to The Verge, it is scheduled to go on sale on Gamesir’s website starting on December 25 at $34.99. However, early birds will be able to bring that price down to $29.99.
