Small, portable, easy to hold and use, Works with iPads and iPhones alike, Firmware upgradable, More affordable than it was initially
Still pricey at $80, Too small for some hands, Flat dpad and awkwardly placed top row of shoulder buttons
Apple's implementation of game controller support and the rollout of MFi controllers has been half-assed at best, but that's a separate editorial and certainly not a criticism of SteelSeries. The Stratus is a good controller that, at $80, is still more of...

Compact design makes it a great portable controller, Completely wireless, letting it play nicely with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, Manages to fit in a full array of buttons that gamers expect

As only the third Made for iOS device gaming controller to hit the market, the SteelSeries Stratus doesn't have a very high bar to exceed. While we saw merits in both earlier options, we felt like the Moga Ace Power was a better choice for gamers, though...

Abstract: MFi controllers really have the ability to be a game changer for iOS devices. But they're in their infancy, and not only are a select amount of games supported, but they also have some limitations. So far, I've reviewed the Logitech Powershell and MOGA Ac...

Although the just-announced SteelSeries Stratus ($100) is being pitched as the first Apple-authorized wireless game controller, that's not really true: with Apple's permission, Duo Games debuted the boxy Bluetooth controller Duo Gamer back in 2012, regret...
