Games Compatible With Mac Steelseries Stratus Xl
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.
Today, SteelSeries announced full Fortnite compatibility across all its mobile controllers. This includes the new Stratus Duo, Stratus XL, and Nimbus. The maker said this comprehensive family of critically-acclaimed controllers is ready for Fortnite on mobile or PC. SteelSeries Chief Technical Officer Tino Soelberg said, 'With the massive success of Fortnite, we want to ensure gamers have the best possible gaming experience regardless of what platform they're playing on.'
The Stratus Duo is SteelSeries' newest full-size multi-platform controller. Gamers can easily swap between the Bluetooth connection for mobile gaming on Android, Oculus Go, and Samsung VR and the low latency 2.4 GHz wireless connection for gaming on Windows. Gamers no longer need to struggle with awkward touchscreen controls while playing mobile games on their Android devices. The controller is powered by a lithium ion battery for more than 20 hours of play and comes with a 1.8 meter cable.
The Stratus Duo is now available for $59.99.
Nimbus
The Nimbus — the world's best-selling game controller for Apple TV, iOS, and Mac — is a full-sized wireless controller perfect for playing Fortnite on iPhone or iPad. The ergonomic shape and familiar button placement of the Nimbus makes it simple for users to jump right into Fortnite or hundreds of other games like Minecraft.
The Nimbus is available for $49.95.
Stratus XL
The Stratus XL is a Bluetooth gaming controller for Android and Windows. It includes 40 hours of gameplay with AA batteries, LED notification, clickable joysticks, and complete customization of the sensitivity and trigger actuation.
The Stratus XL is available for $59.99.
If you want to mount your phone to your controller, you can use the SmartGrip. The entire SteelSeries controller line is compatible with the new SmartGrip accessory. The SmartGrip is an adjustable phone mount that easily clips on to the controllers and holds your phones in place while you play. Luckily, it only costs $9.99.
If you want to play Fortnite on the go, you should definitely check out these controllers. We absolutely love the Stratus Duo because it works on a variety of devices.

Accessibility for AzerothWorld of Warcraft to gain Xbox Adaptive Controller and gamepad support soon
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is the next big WoW expansion, and it's coming with some accessibility boosts too.
Let’s face it, sometimes that touch screen just isn’t going to cut it. Or dig it. Or mine it. If you’re looking to improve your experience with Minecraft’s mobile version on an Android phone or tablet, we’re here to help. While not as convenient for gaming-on-the-go, adding a mobile-friendly controller to your arsenal can certainly provide a more enjoyable (and less frustrating) experience.
There are relatively convoluted methods of getting controllers from game consoles, such as Xbox One and PS4, working with Android, they don’t always place nice. Instead we’ll focus on controllers that are specifically made for and support an optimal mobile gaming experience. Here are our top picks for the best controllers for playing Minecraft on Android!
Best Android game controllers for Minecraft
SteelSeries Stratus XL
The SteelSeries Stratus XL is a well-made controller that feels great to use, with responsive buttons and clickable analog sticks. It’s a bit on the heavy side, weighing in at over 10 oz., which is slightly heftier than an Xbox One controller. Our biggest gripe is that the Stratus XL is not rechargeable, instead relying on two AA batteries like it’s 2002. It still promises 40+ hours of wireless gameplay, but that lack of a lithium ion battery is worth noting. The Stratus XL is compatible not only with Android devices, but also with PC, Steam, and select VR devices (including Samsung Gear VR, HTC Vive, and Oculus), making it a great choice for gaming across multiple devices.

GameSir T1
The GameSir T1 features a smaller form factor than many mobile controllers, sized closest to a PS4 controller. The controller is surprisingly well made for its price point, and includes a fold-out bracket for holding your mobile phone. Another stand-out feature is the controller’s Turbo button, which offers the possibility to automate actions in games, including Minecraft. There’s even an app that allows you to remap keys for your favorite apps if needed. The T1 features a rechargeable lithium ion battery promising 18 hours of continuous gameplay. As with most Bluetooth controllers, the T1 can also be used on PC, Steam, and other devices (you can even use it to pilot a drone). With all that being said, the GameSir T1 is a great pick at an excellent price point.

GameSir G4
Our second choice from GameSir is their G4 controller, which is a larger, slightly pricier option. This controller is closer to an Xbox One controller in size, though is a bit lighter weighing in at only 8.6 oz (compared to the Xbox One’s 9.9 oz controller). The G4 includes all of the standard features of a game controller, including ergonomic grips, rumble feature, and the aforementioned Turbo button, as well as the adjustable bracket for holding your phone. The G4 also features a rechargeable lithium ion battery, and can still be played while charging. If you’re looking for something with slightly different ergonomics but all of the same features, the G4 is another excellent option from GameSir.
