The gamepad from the Danish brand SteelSeries is very similar to the joystick for the Xbox One. With the only caveat that it connects to mobile gadgets exclusively via Bluetooth wireless network.

Imitation

Taking a closer look at the case of the gamepad, a few more differences from the brainchild of Microsoft become visible — the SteelSeries Stratus XL sticks are located symmetrically, and 4 LED indicators are built into the front panel of its case, used to display the remaining battery charge and the number of active connections (up to 4 devices are supported simultaneously). The model uses two “finger-type” batteries as batteries, the charge of which is enough for about 40 hours of battery life.

tenacious grip

In the hands of large and medium sizes, the gamepad fits like a glove, while the fingers reach all the controls. Both sticks are also covered with rubberized caps, which ensures their excellent grip on the fingers. The ergonomics of the device may seem imperfect to owners of small palms, but it does not cause significant complaints from users.

Compatibility

The model is compatible with both Android-based gadgets, including TVs and media centers, and with appliances running Windows. For iOs devices, there is a separate modification of the gamepad with the mention of the Apple operating system directly in the model name.

Expanding Features

Together with the game accessory, it becomes easier to make dashing turns in Asphalt 8 or complete missions in GTA San Andreas. But in some games there is not enough response, because the vibration motor is not included in the design of the gamepad. But when you connect the gamepad to a TV or computer, you can use it as a mouse — in this case, the stick is responsible for cursor movement, and the triggers work as a left and right button.
