SteelSeries Launches Exclusive Nimbus+ Wireless Gamepad Controller

It's an Apple exclusive, but interesting enough to make a news item on it. SteelSeries announces the Nimbus+ Wireless Gamepad Controller for Apple devices. The Nimbus+ builds on the wildly popular original Nimbus controller, adding a bevy of new features, including clickable joysticks, new Hall effect triggers, and a 50-hour battery.

Purchase of Nimbus+ also includes the new Nimbus+ iPhone Mount which allows users to attach their iPhone directly onto the controller, allowing them to play games more comfortably.Designed specifically for gaming on Apple devices, the Nimbus+ brings console-quality game controls to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple TV. With an ergonomic design, ultra-responsive triggers and buttons, and a range of Apple connectivity options, Nimbus+ is the best solution to help bring gaming on Apple devices to the next level.

"With its iPhone Mount and an amazing 50 hours of battery life, Nimbus+ is the ideal companion to games on the App Store and Apple Arcade that feature controller support such as Sneaky Sasquatch, Butter Royale and Crossy Road Castle," said Craig Olson, President of Worldwide Mobile at SteelSeries. "We've added many other new features, making Nimbus+ the new global standard in mobile gaming performance."

The Nimbus+ meets Apple MFi standards for wireless connectivity and pairing. Nimbus+ also takes full advantage of features available to MFi game controllers including controller-supported game discovery, optimized button mapping for superior gaming experiences and control, and fast re-connections.

Nimbus+ follows in the footsteps of Nimbus, the world's best-selling mobile gaming controller that set the global standard for quality and performance. "The overall research and development, design, and engineering efforts undertaken by our teams represent our never-ending quest at SteelSeries to create first-party quality controllers worthy of supporting gaming on Apple devices," said Olson.

The Nimbus+ is available now at apple.com, and will be available at Steelseries.com on May 26.
