Q: Will this controller will be compatible with iPhone 6?

A: This is for Android.. I think they make one for iphone

Q: Can you use for steam?

A: Yes, as long as the controller is initially connected to your computer through the program that the instructions indicate to download.

Q: Would it work with a samsung j7 ??

A: It should since it does has Bluetooth and Android 6.0 which it required 3.1 and above. I recommend that you try it at least. It worked for my Note 4 and my son S6. It's been one of the best gamepads i've tried.

Q: will the SreelSeries - Stratus XL Gaming Controller, work on an Acer Chromebook 15 chromebook ?

A: This did not work well with my pixelbook. It connected and mouse function was cool, but it would not control any PlayStore games I tried.

Q: What got my attention was the D pad, and how it looks like it might "roll" like the genesis controller D pad. Is it as big as the steam "D pad" or would the size of the xbox 360 D? Does it feel as stiff as the playstation D pad?

A: Not as big as the steam D pad, and it does roll nice. Size is more of xbox 1 controller. Not stiff at all, almost perfect feedback.

Q: Has anyone experienced a lag in response. Installed and updated firmware and let my son use it to play Dark Soles. He usually uses a wired PS4 controller to the computer. He noticed a lag right away???

A: it can be finicky, my desktop is on a shelf next to my desk, with my bluetooth dongle near the top of the case. if i use the controller with my hands on my lap just under the edge of my glass desk the controller is very laggy. with my hands 4 inches higher it works perfect. not sure if its the controller or my bluetooth dongle as this is my only bluetooth peripheral.

Q: Will it work with IPad mini?

A: There is a model by steel series made to work with apple(iOS)

Q: Will this work with steam?

A: There are a few different models of this controller. Make sure the one you are looking says it's compatible with your device i.e pc, iPad or android

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND GIVE IT TIME
Be understanding that everyone has different computer capabilities such as (fast, slow, old, new) hardware and software. It took my 2010 amd quad-core pc some time to process the drivers. I immediately opened the box with excitement without reading the instructions. It may require you to update the firmware...so....READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! After doing so, the controller was recognized by the computer. My computer is old and slow so it takes time for it to be recognized every time I turn on the controller, but I do not regret this purchase. I just need to update my computer! Handling the controller was initially awkward, but it grows on you, conforms well and becomes comfortable within several minutes. Some may not appreciate how the R/L toggle buttons because they are a bit flush with the R/L triggers buttons. Although the transition feel is a bit seamless, it is not difficult to become very familiar with the feeling. It's not not frustrating to use and will easily get used to operating.

Excellent VR and PC Controller
I bought this controller to go with my Samsung VR set and it works flawlessly out of the box. On PC, it had a weird issue with the trigger pulling that was fixed with a firmwire update that I didn't notice on Android. This controller does not have one of those phone clamps that other controllers had, but it isn't a huge deal for me. It feels heavy, the buttons are responsive and it plays anything I throw at it just fine. It handles something like a weird offspring between a Playstation 4 and XBox 360 controller. Battery life for me averages about 36 hours with Duracell batteries.

Premium Controller
This is an excellent game controller. It feels more premium than my XBOX One and PS4 controllers. It is as responsive as you would expect a great controller to be. I have experienced no lag or delay so far. The only downside is that it is not rechargeable. And it is a little expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for in this case.
