There are some games that lend themselves to such an input device (such as Canabalt or Alto’s Adventure) but most games just don’t work well with the remote.īut other games are really awkward. Almost Impossible, for instance, is actually impossible to play with the remote. I purchased the SteelSeries Nimbus Wireless Gaming Controller for playing games on my Apple TV. It also works with iPad and iPhone, so I figured it would get some use. Immediately upon taking device out of the nicely sturdy foam packaging, I noticed how good the controller feels.

It definitely has a feel near the quality of Xbox / PS4 controllers. The buttons are firm, not mushy, they have a satisfying touch. The triggers are well balanced and the shoulder buttons act & feel like they should. The device charges with a lightning connector, which is a nice touch, as any iOS enthusiast is bound to have those all over the house. The controller is Bluetooth, so you have to pair it with a device.
This becomes sort of a nuissance if you want to use it with multiple devices, as it will latch on to the last device it was paired with. To switch, you have to go into Bluetooth settings on your iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV to connect again. The latter being the most frustrating, because it's harder to nativate settings with a remote than on your iPhone. Once connected it prompts you to download the companion app. I did so, and also on that page listed a handful of games that work well with it. There were a bunch of Pac-Man style games, Real Racing, and Lego Star Wars. It should be noted that not all games have support for a controller, and there's not really a good definitive list.
