SteelSeries announces the Nimbus Plus-- an update of the 2015 smartphone game controller designed for use primarily with Apple devices, thanks to MFi certification and charging via Lightning connector.
The Nimbus Plus promises a number of improvements over the previous version, including a 50-hour battery life and more responsive triggers. Like the first Nimbus it includes a mount allowing customers to set the iPhone on top of the controller, and SteelSeries says it is compatible with many games across iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.
An interesting feature is clickable joysticks, making the Nimbus Plus the second controller with such capability (with the first being the Rotor Riot controller). Clickable joysticks is a relatively recent addition to the MFi specification, which allows 3rd parties to take advantage of Apple hardware capabilities such as optimised button mapping.
The Nimbus Plus is available now.
