Great for iOS and tvOS
Hands down the best iOS controller if you don’t have an Xbox or PS one handy. The phone mount is a bit odd how the wire bits hold it in, feels a bit of an afterthought but otherwise a solid piece of kit. Couldn’t get the iOS app for it to recognise the controller, but haven’t needed to tweak anything.

Stopped Working Within Two Weeks *Update* *Second Update*
Like so many of the existing purchasers/reviewers my controller also stopped working. I was at first impressed, it connected to my Apple TV 4K without any problems and worked well for the few games I had opportunity to play. Unfortunately two days ago we noticed the controller light up of its own accord. It would not connect to any device and none of the buttons would work. Today the light has finally gone off. I have tried charging and connecting to my Mac with the Steelseries Engine application installed, still nothing. This controller is plagued with problems and not what you would expect for the price. Will have to return for a refund.UPDATE!After leaving for a further 24 hours I tried connecting the controller to various different leads and finally got it charging once more. The previous issues with bricking appear to have resolved themselves and the controller is working well again. For now I have revised my review to 3/5 and will continue monitor and update.Update: 21/12/21Has again stopped working. After weeks of disconnections today it would not turn on at all. Have tried connecting to various chargers but nothing is happening, no lights, no charge. Really, really poor for the price. It's comfortable and has great battery life when working properly but the quality is not what I expect.If it does not miraculously start working again after being dead for a further 24 hours then I will have to return it for a refund or replacement.

For the Casual Gamer
Iv'e had this controller for well over a year now and this is my take of the Nimbus +A good controller but not the most durable. I say this as I've had 3 of these controllers in the past year.All because after about 4 or 5 months of using it regularly, it always began to fail in some way.Most often, I had problems with the joysticks as the would stick and therefore hindering movement and camera angles.Charging was not always consistent and it would lose connection for no reason a fair bit.To be fair to Steelseries, every time I contacted them with the issues, they were quick to repsond and issue replacements after the troubleshooting methods failed.If you only want a controller for casual use with your iPhone or iPad games then its worth it otherwise for the more series gamers out there I don't think this is going to cut it and you'd be better off looking at more heavy usage controllers like ones on Console.

Not a huge gamer but this is a really well made game controller
I use the product on my ipad with the Nvidia GeForce now service and was quite pleased to see that it works (tried it with Beam NG Drive and Half Life II). Unfortunately it won’t work with GeForce Now on my MacBook (but it works on the MacBook with native games). Not the fault of the controller though. But it’s well made, easy to set up and sturdy.

First class and ultra strong construction.
This is a first class games’ controller for use with Apple Arcade on TV and similar.

The very best for all Apple devices
The very best controller for iOS or OS (Mac Arcade). 40 hrs play time after only 45 mins-1hr charge. Good wear-it’s outlasted a Sony PlayStat. & a X-Box type which both either controls or battery started to fail. Compare prices, you’ll not be sorry for the little difference.
