Pros and cons

According to our controller expert

• 4 LED lights indicate the player status during multiplayer gameplay.
• Standard console operation: all buttons are in the familiar locations.
• Handy separate on/off slide switch for extra long battery life.
• As far as we know, the SteelSeries Nimbus unfortunately has no force feedback.

Nice addition to the Apple TV

• Beautiful design
• Easy to connect
• Within the games there is always a clear menu for how you can use the controller, so sometimes you have to find which button does what.

Good for the non-everyday gamer

• Fits well in the hand
• Distance of the buttons is perfect
• Beautifully finished
• Does not vibrate like an Xbox controller

For a non-everyday gamer like me, it's a great product. I can imagine that as a seasoned gamer you do not immediately find this something. I bought it for an Apple TV 4K and I think it's perfect for that. A racing game or sniper game is perfectly playable.
