The Stratus+ is a console-grade controller that features the same button count as an '[Xbox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-beach-1)' or '[PlayStation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backbone-one)' controller. The Stratus+ boasts a 90-hour battery life and a 'Slim-Profile Phone Mount' that holds the phone in place conveniently above the controller. The Stratus+ can be connected to any Bluetooth-supported mobile device and can be used in any game played on mobile that supports controller inputs, such as 'Fortnite' or 'Call of Duty.' The Stratus+ can also connect to 'Google Chromebook' devices to elevate the quality of gaming on these hybrid computers.
