The SteelSeries Nimbus+ is barking up the wrong tree. SteelSeries’ latest Apple-only gamepad does a lot of things right: It has a good shape, well-made inputs, and very good battery life. Increasingly, mobile-focused peripherals aren’t just buttons and analog sticks but a means of transforming your phone into a portable console.īut it has a critical flaw, too: It comes with a phone mount that doesn’t hold an iPhone in place very well. #Steelseries nimbus and supercars racing portable And while it works with Macs, it is no better than other, more popular gamepads. Thus, while the Nimbus+ is a pretty great controller, it is hard to recommend. The Nimbus+ looks about as generic as they come. The design seems hellbent on splitting the difference between the PlayStation and Xbox controller styles: It has Xbox face button lettering – “A,” “B,” “X,” and “Y” – but the bumpers and triggers are labeled “L1”, “R1,” “L2,” and “R2.” Its wide body and large handles scream “Xbox,” but the symmetrical thumbsticks read as “PlayStation.” There are three buttons in the middle – “Menu,” “View,” and a “Home” button marked with a picture of a house. There’s nothing wrong with trying to blend the two styles, in theory, but Nimbus+ makes only a few logistical changes to distinguish itself from its influences, giving it a strong knock-off vibe. In fact, the Nimbus+ is a well-made controller with a comfortable shape and strong design.
