St eelSeries Nimbus

3 This controller comes with a Lightning port for charging, and is certified for use on all compatible iOS devices, and Apple TV. It feels really solid, without any telltale creaking. The thumbsticks are among the best we’ve used, as is the D-pad, though rotating your thumb around it gives less feedback than a normal press. The triggers have a little less travel than we’d like, but are perfectly good. The pad is easy to pair, worked reliably for us, and has a strong battery life. This brilliant device is the ultimate expression of Apple’s game controller vision. Matt Bolton

The best iOS and Apple TV game controller, bar none. It’s comfortable, sturdy, looks great and is more affordable than any of its rivals.
