GameSir has expanded its Pocket Taco mobile controller lineup with a new Voltage Purple color variant, offering buyers a fresh aesthetic option for their handheld gaming setups. This release gives players a choice between the original Retro Gray shell and the new translucent purple design, allowing them to match their personal style while maintaining the same functional hardware. The addition of a second colorway provides more variety for consumers looking to customize their mobile gaming peripherals without upgrading to a different model.
New translucent purple shell joins Retro Gray in compact Bluetooth controller lineup
The Pocket Taco is a compact Bluetooth controller designed specifically for smartphones, featuring a clamshell form factor that protects the device while providing ergonomic controls. It supports vertical smartphone orientation, making it suitable for portrait-mode games and general mobile use. The controller connects wirelessly via Bluetooth, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Android and iOS devices without the need for additional dongles or wired connections.
- Connectivity: Bluetooth
- Battery: 600mAh
- Price (Voltage Purple): $34.99
- Price (Retro Gray): $29.99
Under the hood, the device houses a 600mAh battery that powers the Bluetooth connectivity and internal electronics. The Voltage Purple edition features a translucent purple shell with black Start and Select buttons, which visually distinguishes it from the previous Atomic Purple edition. This design choice allows users to identify the specific variant at a glance while retaining the familiar button layout and tactile feedback of the standard Pocket Taco.
The controller includes software features accessible through the GameSir app, such as button remapping and a keyboard mode for typing or gaming. It also supports auto power-on and power-off functions triggered by opening and closing the clamshell case, which helps conserve battery life during storage. These features aim to enhance usability and convenience for mobile gamers who frequently switch between their phone and the controller.
The Voltage Purple variant is available now for $34.99 on Amazon and GameSir's official website. The original Retro Gray color remains in stock and is priced at $29.99 on GameSir's website, offering a slightly lower entry point for budget-conscious buyers. Both color options are currently available for immediate purchase, allowing consumers to select their preferred aesthetic without waiting for restocks.
