My fav for Apple TV and iPad Pro gaming
||Posted .I've recently gotten interested in playing a few games on my Apple TV and iPad Pro, but I'm coming from a PS4 and PC and I prefer a mouse/keyboard or at the very least a proper game pad. I had been aware of these MFi controllers since Apple announced the support for them. I purchased a Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i controllers and like the products from my Playstation 1 days, it was really Really REALLY bad. The thumbstick/analogs were super stiff, but one you engaged them deeper, they became super loose, no in between. It was annoying attempting to play FPS games with it. Also, it needed AAA batts. The Nimbus has a rechargeable battery. I had been aware of the Nimbus, and decided to try it after playing around with it in the store. This controller is perfect for gaming on iOS. Feels and responds like a proper gamepad and I just love it. The one thing I like a lot was that it charges through a lightning cable, which is super awesome to me. Although, some would rather prefer the non-proprietary route. However, this controller was made for iOS, so I wouldn't worry about NOT having a cable as you like should have one of these anyway. I deducted a star from an otherwise magnificent product for 2 very specific reasons. What if a person DOESN'T have a lightning cable? Why would the controller cost so much and not provide one to you? Thats the flaw here, theres no charging cable. What if you were using all of yours or lost one? You'd have to buy a $20 cable for charging. Second issue is that there are NO "R3" or "L3" functions. For those who don't know what this is, I'll explain. R3 and L3 are buttons on pretty much any controller with thumbtacks. Pressing the Right or Left thumbtack reveals an actual button beneath the sticks. These buttons are actually quite important for FPS games, but also play a role in pretty much any game I've ever played that required thumbtacks. This limits the controller. As you're now down 2 of your very precious command buttons. Too few buttons spells trouble, as likely the reason why you'd want a controller is because of the too few controls you get with onscreen setups. It is understandable that its for iOS and theoretically have no need... but I see this as a case that either devs do not code R3 and L3 into games because of the platform, or simply because NON of the MFi controllers actually have R3 and L3 built into them, so there would be no reason to do so. Considering the Nimbus is the #1 controller for iOS, I'd think further future proofing was in order. In that including the R3/L3 buttons, incase devs start to change this or Apple makes a change. Also, this would cause all other manufacturers to follow suit. Bottomline, we want a FULL functioning controller for an immersive experience. But, as controllers for iOS goes, this one you'll be hard pressed to beat. Hope my endless typing helped.

Must have for a gamer
||Posted .The SteelSeries Nimbus gaming controller is a game changer for my iPhone X. I was reluctant to order this as there’s no mention about it being compatible with the iPhone X it it’s description. I took the chance, and it works flawlessly. It also completely changes the gaming experience on the iPhone, puts it on a whole new level. I love racing games and the biggest hurdle in having a quality simulation racer on a smartphone has been the controls. Not anymore. I couldn’t recommend this controller/game-pad any higher. Grid Autosport is now truly a console racing game competitor on my iPhone (and highly recommended). This will be great for traveling, I can’t wait to try other games with it. Also, get the Dainslef Foldable Mobile Phone mount, it says its for the Xbox 1 controller but it works great on the SteelSeries Nimbus.

Best controller for iOS (iPhone/ iPad / Apple TV 4
||Posted .I have tried a few MFI controllers. I had the moga rebel ($80) controller as well. This is HANDS DOWN my favorite. The button layout, weight, and responsiveness are the best. (The moga would disconnect often but the nimbus never does.) The response is great. The only thing I liked more about the moga rebel was that the r2/L2 had more resistance, which I like for racing games. (I mostly use this with Real Racing 3). I use this on the go with my iPhone 6 Plus and iPad mini 4. I bought a "Nyko Xbox one smart clip" it attaches to the nimbus and can hold the iPad mini 4 in the apple silicone case! That is insane! I love this controller. (I haven't had the battery die yet!) Buy this controller and a Nyko smart clip, you'll thank me (in between games of course!)

Awesome
||Posted .I really enjoy having this controller. My remote that came with my 4k apple tv stopped working after a couple of months and having this wireless controller was such a life saver. Although, I should probably take my apple remote to get looked at to see what's wrong. I also like the fact that the controller makes me feel like I'm playing a game all the time. It's weird because I'm not an avid gamer or anything, but now with this controller I don't feel so left out of the gaming world. Another great thing about this controller is that it comes with it's own charging cord that can also be used to charge any apple devices. The battery on this thing is really awesome too. When it's fully charged my controller lasts for a couple of weeks, but mind you I only spend a couple of hours a day on it and turn off my controller when I'm not using it while watching a movie or show.

Q: QuestionDoes the controller work with fortnite now that fortnite allows wireless controllers? Also will the controller work with newer phones like the iPhone X?
Asked by Adem.
- A:Answer Yes, it works with fortnite quite well. I have iPhone XR and a 2017 iPad. The Nimbus controller works with both. The only issue is on the game side. Once you start a match, you can’t switch from the controller back to touch controls.
