Battery lifeĮver since I got this controller, I haven’t been able to exhaust the battery. Nimbus Steelseries is an MFi-certified controller that plays in the same league as DualShock 4 and Xbox One controller. It doesn’t feel like a cheap, ordinary controller made for just mobiles devices. Anyway, this shouldn’t be a problem as there are clamps like this being sold on Amazon for about $10. If all you have on a flight is your iPhone and this controller, you might be better off using the touch inputs on the iPhone for games.

You have a D-pad to the left, ABXY buttons to the right, and the two analog sticks in between.

The button placements are exactly as it is on the PS4 controller. While the DualShock weighs 210g, the Nimbus clocks 242g on the scale. Although the grips on Steelseries Nimbus is a bit thicker, it feels good nonetheless. When I was about to make the purchase, I was actually looking for a controller with ergonomic grips similar to what I’m already used to, the one on the DualShock 4.
