It is considerably cheaper, more practical with its expanding mount, and feels more secure and responsive.The Steelseries Nimbus, the first gamepad with official Apple TV support, charges via Lightning and has a solid feel. Hands down, the Nimbus+ outclasses the Kishi in every category. In fact, I can actually envision sitting down and playing through these mobile ports now, where touch controls had once sapped my will to keep going. There are plenty of non-arcade titles that seamlessly integrate with the Nimbus+, especially if you enjoy older games- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Final Fantasy III performed perfectly. It is worth double-checking your library and the App Store for controller-enabled games before you buy. “Hands down, the Nimbus+ outclasses the Kishi in every category.” Until September 30, 2022, those who buy the Nimbus+ can activate a promotion for four months of Apple Arcade for free, which helps. I immediately became hooked on Clap Hanz Golf, which feels like it was designed for SteelSeries’ gamepad. That being said, if you have an Apple Arcade subscription, you’re likely to find something to enjoy with the Nimbus+. If your favourite game on your phone uses a UI with huge touch buttons, chances are it is not going to need a controller like this. Many mobile games are simply not made for controllers, whether by their design or by a lack of peripheral support. However, a systemic problem presents itself here, as it did when I reviewed the Razer Kishi-application. But other than that, the battery is strong, mounting and removing your phone is a breeze, and the controller is comparable to official console pads. I had to find something to prop it against, or balance it precariously on the triggers and mount, with the grip in the air. My only practical gripe is that it can be a little difficult to set down while your phone is mounted. “The battery is strong, mounting and removing your phone is a breeze, and the controller is comparable to official console pads.” They may not serve as well on a console controller, especially with the advent of haptic feedback, but I’m curious to see how this technology would work elsewhere. L2/R2 can be pressed with the same crisp precision as the face buttons, suited to the arcade-like nature of many mobile games. Most impressive, in my opinion, are the “Hall Effect” triggers. Otherwise, the face buttons are pleasantly light, and the clickable thumbsticks respond well when playing the likes of Clap Hanz Golf, where accuracy is crucial. Its tactile D-Pad is responsive and satisfying, though its clicking can be a little loud. Three navigation buttons for Options, Home, and Menu occupy the middle, with wireless pairing and battery level indicator buttons around the back, almost concealed by the mount. Its four face buttons match the letter designation of the Xbox controller, with alternate colour designations printed within.

“Its construction is solid yet light, sturdier than the Switch Pro Controller but not any heavier.”Īs for the controller itself, its construction is solid yet light, sturdier than the Switch Pro Controller but not any heavier. This is one of my favourite aspects of the Nimbus+ design-unlike the Razer Kishi, you don’t need to remove your device’s case to use it with a controller. The top half can extend to make room for your particular model, and then close on it, gently securing your phone like a vise, regardless of its size. Two notches unfold from the mount to hold your iPhone. Jostling the controller didn’t loosen it at all. However, after coming back to it a little while later, I found the mount was quite secure. At first this process felt a little awkward, and I was unsure I’d done it correctly. The mount affixes to the back using two prongs, which slide into the back of the Nimbus controller.
