While PlayStation’s DualShock design has gained its share of devotees over the years, the Xbox GamePad remains the stereotypical image of a gamepad in many people’s minds (as well as the Discord logo). So it makes sense that there are plenty more mobile gaming options with that size, and the best come from SteelSeries: the Nimbus+ for Apple-made devices and stratus+ For Google-based devices (Android and Chromebook).
Both controllers are, for the most part, identical. They have shoulder buttons and triggers, the D-pad is the same, and they both include sturdy phone mounts for attaching your device on top – the kind that automatically snaps into place. Unlike a more common company’s clamp, the SteelSeries provided with both controllers won’t fight you during the process of mounting your phone.
