SteelSeries Stratus XL Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Controller for iOS Devices - 69026 (Renewed)

VERY solid feel and movement for a 3rd party controller. Works great with my AppleTV and my Mac. I highly recommend this controller. It is better than my Xbox and PS3 controllers. Just remember you will need rechargeable AA batteries, which aren't hard to find here on Amazon.

I'm not crazy about this product, but mainly because iOS isn't the easiest platform to work with imho. Once I was able to figure out how to get this connected (about five minutes time) I was able to use this to play a few games with my iPad Pro. The controller buttons and sticks were not as "tight" as I like and felt a bit loose, but overall the quality of the controller is there. It doesn't really stand out as being the best controller, or the worst controller I have used. It's somewhere in the dreaded middle and since getting the controller I haven't even touched it since initially setting up. To be far, I don't use my iPad as much as I should, but really, I just opt for touchscreen controls most of the time as it is easier than pairing this controller and I'm not playing anything competitive.I gave the controller four stars because it's not it's fault that I don't use it very much.

This controller has great construction, buttons feel great. However for an iOS controller be careful. All Stratus models are not compatible with iOS 10 or higher. that includes all iPhones, iPads, iPod touch that is running iOS 10 or higher. Get the Nimbus model instead. The Nimbus model has Bluetooth 4.0 witch seems to be needed to work for iOS 10, along with the MFI certification. This is a great controller for anyone on iOS 9.3.4 or lower

This controller is great. My boyfriend loves to play racing games on the Apple TV and this controller allows him to have more control steering. He loves it. No issues with it being refurbished at all. Instructions were extremely easy. Setup in 30 seconds. Planning on purchasing another one soon.

This is a good looking "wall hanger" but as it does not even have a hanging loop, I opted to return it. Seriously , It just does not work on the tablets it claims to be designed for with any game that it claims to be compatible with-at all. I have tha IPad- Air and the new iPad Air -pro .tried on bothe wth zero success. I actually bought another battery powered version by this same manufacturer, which I returned because it also failed to work. IMO- we are still years away from a hand gaming controller for iPad whatever, perhaps some day in the far future?

This thing is awesome! It connects to my iPhone 6 Plus very fast and my iPhone even asks if I want to pair! Playing Minecraft PE, Afterpulse, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and even Terraria and its super smooth. No lag time!The only complaint that I have is that it didn't come in the original box. But it is a referbished device so it's understandable.

Maybe there's a quality control issue, but i've definitely not experienced the issues stated in the comment section. Connected perfectly and has a long battery life. Dont notice any major input, but if you focus your soul on it, then yeah there's maybe a couple milliseconds. All in all this has made playing Final Fantasy 6 a dream come true. Recommended to everybody

Controller works with Macbook Pro Mid 2012 but the bluetooth is awful. You have to be so close to the computer with your controller that it's just barely worth it for what I use it for (studying). I'm returning it. Maybe it's because it's refurb or who knows what but only use this if you plan on pointing the controller very directly and in very close proximity to your device.
