  • Good build, 40-hour battery life, Buttons have a nice click
  • Some connection problems, No charging cable provided, Lack of interesting features
  • Until Apple releases its own TV controller, SteelSeries has the one to beat with the Nimbus. Though, I'm sure that'll be particularly hard task...

  • Abstract:  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 labele...

  • Abstract:  Con la llegada de iOS 7 Apple introdujo soporte para controladores de juegos o gamepads. Una idea que nos gustó mucho en su momento pues pensamos que permitiría tener un mejor control de juego. El problema es que los primeros mandos no estuvieron a la alt...

  • Abstract:  Avec l'offre pléthorique de jeux toujours plus complets sur iPad, iPhone et Apple TV, il n'est plus aussi saugrenu de vouloir coupler son appareil avec une manette de jeu. Aujourd'hui, on se penche sur la question en s'intéressant de très près à la manett...

  • Ottima ergonomia, Levette analogiche comode e precise, Buona durata della batteria interna
  • Un po' troppo leggero, Tempi di ricarica biblici, Assenza del cavo Lightning in dotazione
  • Il Nimbus di SteelSeries fa egregiamente quello per cui è stato progettato: il joypad per Apple TV e per i dispositivi iOS. Come ho specificato nella recensione, non si può dar di certo colpa all'azienda produttrice se i giochi per tvOS non ne esaltano...

  • Design comodo, buone prestazioni in-game, configurazione semplice, prezzo ragionevole,
  • Sembra troppo leggero da tenere in mano, l'applicazione non aggiunge molto,
  • Il joypad Nimbus ha un bel design, è comodo e permette di giocare molto meglio rispetto al telecomando standard dell'Apple TV...

  • Knapp 60 Euro kostet der SteelSeries Nimbus, den ihr auch direkt über Apples Online-Shop beziehen könnt. Gut angelegtes Geld - denn ein besserer Joystick für Apple-Geräte ist uns bislang noch nicht untergekommen. SteelSeries Nimbus: Kompatible Geräte...
