Nacon MG-X Pro Review Score
generalize
The Nacon MG-X Pro has a more ergonomic design than the MG-X, but at a small price premium. It lacks a companion app to create profiles for specific Android games, but for Xbox Games Pass it works flawlessly.
as i have Reviewed Nacon MG-X, This Nacon MG-X Pro Review will be relatively short as they are almost the same product.
The new Nacon MG-X Pro costs £89.99, just £10 more than the original Nacon MG-X, the only difference being the shape of the controller.

- Connectivity: Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy

Nacon MG-X Pro and Nacon MG-X Design
The new Nacon MG-X Pro has a larger footprint than the MG-X, being wider, deeper and taller. As such, it’s not very bag friendly, but the overall ergonomics are far superior to the MG-X.
Settings – Phone Size Compatibility
Unfortunately I don’t have a large phone to test this with, but I’m using a 6.67″ Red Magic 6R, and it can be installed easily and has enough space. While the specs say a whopping 6.7 inches, I think you can easily get something bigger in there.
Other than that, setup is easy, and it’s a Bluetooth device, so you can turn it on and pair it.
is using
This is primarily for Xbox Game Pass, but you can use it for any game that supports a Bluetooth controller.
When paired with a controller, it works perfectly with Xbox Game Pass. When the app knows you are using the controller, the control icon on the screen will be removed. All buttons are laid out like an Xbox; everything works.
Unlike some other controllers, there’s no companion app, so you can’t map the controller to games that don’t fully support the controller.
Price and Alternatives
The Nacon MG-X Pro is priced at £89.99 / €99.90, the same launch price as the original MG-X. The MG-X is now €89.90, though you can get it from Amazon for £55.
The GameSir X2 has a similar form factor to the MG-X, plugs into your phone’s USB-C port, and comes with a companion app for greater compatibility. It’s £69.99 and a great option for general Android games and emulators. However, for the Xbox, the buttons are not in the correct order.
The Razer Kishi is £59.99, or their Xbox cloud version is £79.99. Both are shaped more like the original MG-X.
comprehensive
I thought the original Nacon MG-X was excellent, and I prefer the design of the new Pro model, which has a more ergonomic shape. So I also think it’s good, I don’t think the £10 price difference is too bad.
If you play at home a lot, I’d say the Pro is a better choice, but the MG-X is a bit more compact, so it’s great for travel.
