Every day there are more people who want to play their mobile games with a traditional console controller, whether on Apple or Android platforms. That is why the people at Krom have just launched their Kairos , a multi- platform wireless controller for lovers of video games on portable devices and PCs alike. What are its features and specifications?
One of the most hated things for those of us who have played video games since before the launch of current mobile phones is the use of capacitive screens to play. Fortunately, for some time now, the use of traditional gamepads has become possible. However, many of the solutions that exist for PC are not compatible for mobile phones and it is necessary to have several controls. Perhaps Krom’s latest controller, dubbed Kairos, is the solution to that problem.
Krom Kairos
The Krom Kairos is a controller with a Nintendo-style button organization , this means with the analog sticks asymmetrically and the position and name of the buttons, just like the Controller Pro of the Nintendo Switch . Console with which it is also compatible and, therefore, not only with iOS and Android devices . And speaking of mobile phones, the people of Krom have had the detail of including a support to be able to play with our mobile, which is totally retractable and consequently we can save it for when we play on other platforms.
Regarding the compatibility with PC games , we can use it without problems in any game or emulator that supports the Xinput standard , so you should also be able to use it in all kinds of platforms that support this standard, including different machines facing the emulation.
The control is completely wireless , so we can enjoy it without cables through its wireless interface, which is Bluetooth 5.0 . As for its battery, we can enjoy 10 to 12 hours without interruption . Its scope? A total of 10 meters , so you can play your PC games quietly. Although, of course, the Krom Kairos is a controller to take you anywhere and enjoy your favorite games for mobile phones and handheld consoles.
And the thing does not end here, since this gamepad supports vibration, with the ability to program up to 4 different intensities: null, weak, medium or strong. In addition, we can program the turbo on the buttons, being possible to configure 5, 12 or 20 successive repetitions per second. Ideal for reliving those retro games where you mashed buttons to win without losing your thumbs.
