SteelSeries Stratus XL Wireless Gaming Controller
The SteelSeries Stratus XL Wireless Gaming Controller for iOS is the full-sized, big brother, to the Stratus Wireless controller. SteelSeries engineers took the great features from that controller and built them in to a large, console-like controller – just like you would use on your favourite gaming systems.
The Stratus XL was engineered to work with many Apple devices and hundreds of compatible games. It’s an authentic gaming experience no matter where and what you play. The release of iOS 7 brought classic gaming controls to Apple’s mobile platform. The Stratus XL takes advantage of this release allowing it to work with most devices, even Mac computers. SteelSeries has your gaming needs covered, in the comfort of your own home or on the go.

I had an older Bluetooth game controller I use with one of my Android boxes for MAME classic game emulation, but it turned out not to be IOS compatible, so I had to search for another option. The reviews of the SteelSeries controllers were very position, and the Stratus XL was the best, according to the review.
I wasn't disappointed.
This is a fine controller - as sensitive as the ones that came with my Xbox One and Xbox 360, and everything works just as you'd expect. So, I'm licking my chops waiting for the next best IOS games that are optimized for the new AppleTV....controller in hand.
Pros:
• Classic design - no surprises, buttons are all in the correct places
• Joysticks work as expected, with virtually the same travel as the Xbox equivalents
• Two rechargeable AA batteries will power this controller long enough - three days of constant gaming hasn't really made a dent in the charge yet
• Weight is just about right - most third part controllers are too light
• Plastics are smooth - no rough edges
• Works great with my 4th Gen AppleTV
Cons:
• A bit pricey
• No joystick press down buttons - not a big deal but will miss them eventually
• No option for recharging dock - must use AA batteries
• Some games require that you use the remote to enter text since the controller can't do that, but that is likely more the developer's fault in their controller support
Unlike every other gamepad I've tried on my Mac, this one actually supports the MacOS platform properly. The gamepad connected over bluetooth with zero issue, and worked seamlessly in all tests I ran both locally and over my cloud gaming desktop. No 3rd-Party tools were required, the Mac actually recognized where all the buttons were and what they were supposed to do. Some games will require re-mapping of buttons, of course, but at least all the buttons are recognized on connection.
One drawback - the analog sticks do NOT have buttons on them - they cannot be depressed/clicked. That will cause problems in games that cannot re-map critical functions off the analog stick buttons. Otherwise, so far it has been working exactly as expected.
Aside from that, this is a great controller. It feels very solid in your hands. I actually like that the batteries are not rechargeable, it is one less thing for me to plug in. You can, of course, use your own NiMhs. I have not had issues with pairing, it works fine on both my iPhone 6+ and iPad Air 2. I've played a good amount of Terraria on the iPad and this is absolutely perfect for that!! As long as you don't need to use this on a computer, I highly recommend it for its very specific target hardware.
Compared to the smaller SteelSeries Stratus (included in pictures for comparison), I have had less issues and a more enjoyable gaming experience.

'While the Nimbus controller is designed to work on Mac OS X, very few game developers build in MFi controller support for Mac. The Nimbus controller will not function with most Mac games because of this. The most likely place to find an MFi controller compatible game is on the Mac App Store, but the only way to be sure is to contact the game developers directly.'
Can't comment on the battery life as I've only had it about ten days more or less
However it would be better if the battery's could be directly charged within the controller via USB.
But apart from that it's really brilliant and totally changes the gaming experience for iPad uses.
