Controllers for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac: which one to buy

With the arrival of Apple Arcade, games on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and Apple TV are reliving a second youth. However, some of the titles present in the aforementioned service require the use of an MFi certified Bluetooth controller (Made For iOS). Precisely for this reason today we are going to list the best currently available and obviously perfectly usable also with all other compatible games on the App Store.


SteelSeries Nimbus +

Let's start immediately with the most expensive controller on the list, but also the most suitable for use with all Apple devices. The Cupertino company has in fact worked closely with SteelSeries for the design of the exclusive controller designed primarily for Apple Arcade. Compared to the previous model, there will be two more option buttons here and L3 and R3 can be clicked. Its design is very similar to that of the xBox controller, while the position of the joysticks is more PlayStation-style.


The battery lasts for about 50 hours and supports charging via Lightning cable. In the package, in addition to the controller, there is also a handy tool to fix the iPhone on the same accessory and play on the go.


xBox Wireless Controller

It definitely doesn't need much introduction, as the Controller Wireless di xBox it is the most imitated and purchased by companies and users. Starting from iOS 14 it is in fact possible to configure the controller for xBox One, while as regards that of xBox Series X | S, You will need to update the device to iOS 14.5 first. Obviously all subsequent versions will not have compatibility problems.

DualShock 4/DualSense

Even with regards to the PlayStation controllers, the speech remains almost identical. Compatibility with the DualShock 4 starts from iOS 14, while as regards the PS5 DualSense will need to be updated to iOS 14.5. The biggest advantage of using these two devices is obviously the fact of not having to buy more if you already own a console, the support of all the keys within the Apple Arcade titles and also the huge ecosystem of accessories available. for the purchase.


GameSir T4 Pro

Now let's move on to something slightly cheaper but just as functional. THEl GameSir T4 Pro universal controller supports, in addition to all Apple devices, even Android ones, PCs and even the Switch. Consequently, if you have multiple compatible devices, it could be the best choice. Also in this case we find a design very similar to that of xBox, but with a transparent and opaque finish that reveals all the internal components, including the R3 LEDs and ABXY keys. Also noteworthy is the presence of four additional triggers on the back, that is M1, M2, M3 ed M4.


Alternatives

Before closing with the guide, let's see three other controllers perfectly compatible with all Apple devices. We mainly recommend the ones listed above, but if you find an interesting offer, it wouldn't hurt to consider one of the following either.


RotorRiot Gaming Controller

The RotorRiot Gaming Controller can be considered, in terms of ergonomics and functionality, on a par with all those seen previously, but unfortunately it has a fairly important limit: the cable connection. This cannot be used wirelessly and this does not allow pairing with Apple TV.

DarkWalker Controller Mobile

The DarkWalker controller instead features a huge central LED that you can like or dislike and for this reason we have decided to include it only among the alternatives. The design remains similar to that of the xBox and the packaging also offers the support for use with iPhone. Furthermore, it also supports PS4, Android, Stadia and xCloud.

PXN 6603

Finally, we close with the PXN 6603 controller. Its design is very reminiscent of that of the xBox 360 controller, thanks above all to the shape and glossy color, but the support is exclusive to Apple devices. Also here in the package there will be a stand for use with iPhone.
