Great for iOS

Works great on iOS but does sometimes disconnect. Maybe 15 seconds out of every ten hours gaming. Works well for Apple TV and I assume mac but really depends on game developer support. For example, Call of Duty Mobile works well but the Stranger Things game by Netflix has mapped the incorrect buttons so it refers to Y, X, A, and B buttons as RT, LT, B, A. Now that I think of it, Call of Duty also supports 99% but loading screens and popups do not have any way to clear with the controller. You still end up having to keep the screen close by. This is only ever a problem when I stream over wifi to my tv for full console like gaming. The only real gripe I have is the iPhone accessory is very hard to put in place, hard to remove, doesnt like to stay in place and can get the wobbles. Enough so that I had to disable the "Back Tap" feature of my phone because smashing the trigger would activate the flashlight or screen zoom with the wobbleness. All in all, worth the price and with the right game can make your mobile device, smart tv, and computer feel much closer to a console.Ver más

Great Controller With Apple Arcade

I’m really excited about this product and so currently REVISING MY REVIEW. The controller has a nice heft and design, pairs well with Biuetooth, especially with iPhone. I initially had trouble using it with my MacBook 12 in but after reading Steel Series company FAQs and finding their email address their prompt tech support guided me through resetting the controller by powering up and pressing the home button for 5 secs. From there I remedied a previously failed update download by uninstalling and reinstalling the update and all good! Works wirelessly over Bluetooth with both iPhone and MacBook (especially important with a single USBC Mac). Keep in mind your MacBook requires updating to the latest Big Sur OS to use Apple Arcade, but Steel Series 4 month trial offer makes trying new games out easy and convenient, even with an old iPhone 6S. Be aware that you need to be set up and be logged into your Steel Series Engine account for the MacBook to pair smoothly. I also used a previously offered Amazon discount coupon for purchase. The device also might work with many controller enabled non Apple Arcade games. Very nice device for fun casual gaming!Ver más

It's a brick after 10 months. (DO NOT PURCHASE STEESERIES PRODUCTS)

It worked fine until suddenly it stopped working altogether during light use. After searching online, reddit and the company's website, this appears to be a common flaw. They have software you can download and plug in to fix this. But it doesn't do anything. They say that if it's bricked and a light is still on, wait up to 50 hrs to have battery drain. Here I am 72 hours later with no change and the software doesn't recognize the item at all. Maybe if I spend the next 12 hours on the phone with their support thing, they'll send me a coupon for a replacement. I regret this purchase. There has to be something more reliable.Update (Jan 2023):-The device first bricked in October 2022-I spent a week following the online instructions to try to recover it (they tell you to let the device draw down it's full charge so that lights go off before starting recovery.)-I tried their recovery process which involves downloading their software and it's supposed to automatically recognize the device and begin recovery. That never worked after numerous attempts.-I then contact support to let them know that the instructions online are not working. 3 weeks after I submit that request I receive an email from the "Customer Experience" system which simply has copied and pasted the instructions from their website. These are the same instructions that were the topic of my email. I had laid out very carefully what I did, following those instructions and that they don't work. So their response is to copy paste the instructions. Infuriating.-I respond without delay (Dec 3rd) that those instructions don't work and detail (again) what I did and what I see.-Another 3 weeks pass, now 3 days before Christmas, I get a new email from the Customer Experience saying "Apologies on the delay, the uptick in holiday tickets have casued [sic] longer waitimes [sic]." Of course, it's absurd to blame the holidays for a six week delay that started in November or the second three week delay that started in early Dec. The especially infuriating part is that the delay led to nothing other than "if the instructions don't work we have to replace the device." This could have been said after my first email a month and a half earlier. There is no new information exchanged in the interim, nothing specific about my device. Nothing new suggested or tried to effect repair. This is clearly just standard protocol but delayed by a month and a half for no good reason.-So now I've spent two weeks on the elaborate "RMA" process where I take lots of pictures of the device and serial number then wait for more instructions on how to destroy the device and take more pictures.-A nice bonus is that while they wait weeks and months between communications, all of the requests for info from me have one week threatening deadlines that invalidate the whole process if I miss. They are clearly trying to make this hard so that you just give up.-Two more weeks of that nonsense and I finally have a code to use on their webstore to order a new device. And of course the device is not in stock, and no info available on when it will be back in stock. AND my code expires in 60 days. So I've asked them what to do if the device doesn't come back in stock before the 60 days are up. No response yet.So I've been dealing with their delays and incoherent nonsense instructions and elaborate dances/photos and still haven't been made whole from the sudden bricking of a warranty covered device 3 MONTHS AGO. If I'm lucky I'll get a replacement after 5 months but I will update this review assuming I still don't have a replacement in 2 more months.PLEASE DON'T SUPPORT THIS TERRIBLE COMPANY. MAY THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS AND THEIR INVESTORS GO BROKE. THEIR DEVICES BRICK ALL THE TIME AND THEY DO NOT REPLACE THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER IF AT ALL. THEY DO NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY AND USE DELAYS AND OBFUSCATION TO TRICK YOU OUT OF THE REPLACEMENT SYSTEM. THEY ARE DISHONEST AND RUDE. THERE ARE MANY GREAT COMPETITORS ON AMAZON AND ELSEWHERE. BUY ANYTHING ELSE. I WISH I HAD SPENT A LITTLE MORE TO GET SOMETHING FROM A COMPANY THAT MAKES DECENT RELIABLE PRODUCTS AND STANDS BEHIND THEM.

Loved it but it didn’t work

I ordered this after reading positive reviews. Unfortunately I purchased this for use on my Apple TV 4K and it didn’t work.I returned mine, wishing it would have worked as the build quality of this device was top notch. Having had no luck getting anything else to work, I settled on a ‘Carbon Black Xbox controller’ from local Walmart.Not sure suspect there was a software or firmware problem, I didn’t spend much time trying to troubleshooting the issue. Just got an RMA and got an easy refund.Ver más

Works with M4 Mac Mini

Worked right away when connected to my M4 mac mini for Apple Arcade. Games seem to still support this controller even on Mac OS Sequoia 15.4. You cannot though update the firmware on the GG Engine from Steel Series on a Apple Silicon computer. They don't support Apple Silicon yet. So it's gonna be hit or miss in the future if this Nimbus+ still works once the controller gets older in age and it's impossible for a firmware update. It's already kind of ancient since it uses the old-style lightning charge connector. Look at the playstation dual sense if you want something newer.Ver más
