Overview
- The ASUS ROG Tessen transforms your smartphone into a capable gaming handheld with professional-grade controls. Its innovative foldable design secures your phone in landscape orientation while protecting the USB Type-C connector, making it ideal for travel and on-the-go gaming. The dual aluminium rear paddles are fully programmable, allowing you to execute complex commands with ease, while the 500 Hz polling rate ensures near-instantaneous input response for competitive advantage.
Console-grade controls set the Tessen apart. The 22° range of movement in the right stick, combined with mechanical switches on face buttons and D-pad, delivers tactile feedback and rapid response. Ergonomic grip handles with outward-extended design support long gaming sessions without fatigue. The 18W fast pass-through charging feature allows you to play continuously whilst topping up your phone battery—a practical advantage for extended play.
Full customisation is available through the Armoury Crate app, where you can remap buttons, adjust AURA RGB lighting effects, and configure the ROG Button to suit your gaming style. The controller works seamlessly with phones in protective cases (up to 7–14.5 mm thick), eliminating the need to remove them during gameplay. Built with dual aluminium bridges, the Tessen combines durability with premium construction, backed by a 12-month warranty.
