SteelSeries Stratus+ Bluetooth Gaming controller for Android & Windows - Mobile - Hall Effect Sensors - Clickable L3/R3

I ordered this controller for multi-device usage. I knew that I'd need to use it wired on PC, so that was no surprise, but I found that I had trouble getting used to the Playstation style stick configuration and and immediately started making a lot of mistakes in games. I didn't really intend to use it for Android, for the phone at least, but it comes with an adaptor and works with the phone so I tried it. That was where it really shined for me. I didn't mind the stick layout because the whole experience was new to me, as I hadn't used a Playstation controller since the PS2 days. I found that the muscle memory wasn't so strong for the X-Box configuration, when I was using it as a phone converted into a handheld console type deal. I really got into using it with Gforce now on my phone, and now I'm so glad I bought this. The quality of components are no-frills, old school solid. The sticks don't use Hall Effect technology, but they have a very robust feel to them, like the old controllers that used to outlast the console generation. They are very accurate and as I get used to them, I love the feel. The triggers are hall effect sensor driven, and those are great for games that require throttling, like racing or flight. They feel really accurate. The housing around the controller is a no frills polymer, thick and strong. This is a really well made controller. Despite the fact that I probably won't use it for PC, since I already ordered another, more traditional wireless controller today, I'm glad I ordered this controller. It feels like high quality and I'm finding that playing games on my phone is a lot more fun that I expected. I would recommend this product at the heavily discounted price it's currently on offer for, I don't think you can find a better controller, for what it is, in this price range.

Picture shows a phone in the holder with a hand as a reference to sizeHow it feels:Comfortable in your hands, phone holder is snug both in the phone and the controller and at a good angle, buttons aren't too loud except for l3 and r3, lights aren't too bright, triggers feel nice, analog sticks have no cardinal locking whatsoever, dpad looks funky but feels and presses nice with a slight matte texture, start/select are a bit awkward to press bc they're indented, abxy buttons feel like an Xbox, analog buttons are also quite nice but/and are in a ps style layout, nice plastic, no visible smudging so far.Button mapping:Tested button mapping on Minecraft and ppsspp, maps fine, a mapped as a and x on ppsspp but easy fix.Latency:No noticable latency for me. Also connects fine and does not have a weird Bluetooth nameCable:Works fine, longHighly recommend his controller for every reason unless you want backpedals or an l4 and r4 as this does not have that

Works good with my Pixel 6 and feels good in-hand. My phone is large and heavy (back in my day we called them "phablets"), but the stand still holds it up well enough. I use it primarily for portable gaming around the house by using the SteamLink app to stream my PC games to my phone. I've been able to use this as a direct controller for my PC as well, but my wife who uses an iPhone needed the Nimbus+ controller for hers instead, and that one doesn't work on PC at all. So for anyone researching this product for their needs, just know that different firmware is required for iOS vs Android, and don't expect them to be too universal beyond that.

I did not buy this for Android but tested it on a Pixel Tablet anyway, and it was perfectly serviceable. Bought four of them for couch gaming on sale (about $25) and ignored the Android phone cradle--so I have no opinion of it--and found it to be an amazing deal.Only gap is any sort of rumble/vibrate missing, which you probably don't want if you're cradling your phone with it, but for the price I could not care less.Comfortable grip, excellent price for performance, and works with desktop Linux (just need to disable ERTM on your Bluetooth driver).

Figured I'd reach out and give this a review.On arrival left joystick clearance was severely off, holding any direction cause stick to remain in said position.Controller is unusable, not wasting time shipping back, very disappointed in quality for sure. Also, even when centered and in correct position stick drift would still occur, ill assume that the controller is just destroyed on arrival and will assume nobody will reach out about making it right.This turned me off of steelseries completely, huge quality issues, cheap parts, this controller should be 20$

The device works well with your phone. For the price I think it should work at least on PC/MAC/LINUX as well.

Excelent productVery responsiveEasy to setupI play gta and dls 2025 in my phone with no issues whatsoeverBattery last foreverTotally recommend it

Works great. I am happy with the purchase. Ok, that's it, good and compatible with Nvidia GeForce streaming app. Thumbs up.
