There are issues that still need to be worked out with the Stratus. Switching games doesn't necessarily mean the controller will switch as well. I have to turn it off, turn it back on when switching games. Also, it seems to just disconnect at times as well.
Thanks for the heads up,i tried some games today with the stratus and was (REALLY) disappointed to see that GOF2 not worked.Also Strike Wing and jet car stunts 2 doesn't work.So i'll give it another try. But i already had an amazing time with Asphalt 8 (very well implemented and a great game i have to admit),Oceanhorn and Kotor. Real Racing is also ok but it's still...well...Real Racing with all it's freemium and waiting timers crap.Don't know if i can tolerate it for a longer time. Disapointment was Riptide,it's really no that funny to accelerate with the R2 button.I hope the dev will implement another (or enhanced) control scheme. But still,i'm quite satisfied although the pricetag is steep.
While the Stratus does have switching issues, I haven't found any major complaints about actual gameplay. It is what it is - a small, compact wireless controller. If that is what you're looking for, I'm not sure you could do better than the Stratus. Personally, I don't care much about size. I use wireless controllers with my iPad, which means I'm generally sitting down at home. A bigger controller would be ideal. Luckily, at least 3 are on the horizon. The Moga Rebel, Mad Catz C.T.R.L.i, and Signal RPOne should all fit the bill nicely for people who aren't concerned about pocketability.
Me too,I've a Moga ace power,but I can't wait to get my hands on Mad Catz controller,I think will be my definitive controller..
The nice thing is, they're very different designs - I don't see the Mad Catz completely replacing the older controllers for all gamers and all uses.
I'm seeing the SteelSeries Stratus being marked down on Amazon.com. Right now black controller is $72.41 and white is $67.25. Downside is they appear to be out of stock right now, though they do say "Usually ships in 3 to 5 weeks." I'm probably going to get a proper controller and not have to worry about jailbroken. I haven't had a JB ipad since iOS 7.1 came out.
Ugh... Barely a week ago I paid $79.99 for the white one. I might have to inquire about a price match refund lol.
Pretty sure Amazon has a 2 week return policy - might as well send it back and reorder, save your money...
I've been alerted by amazon they should be getting a new shipment of controllers in. To be clear, that last line in the email I quoted is the date I would get the controller. They still say 3 to 5 weeks when buying either color on their sales pages, and the prices are still discounted nicely as I brought up a few days ago.
While the discounted price is nice, those who'd rather get the controller right away can still order through Apple - I see them on store shelves at basically every Apple Store I visit these days
Anyone seeing any releases this week with ios 7 joystick support? Seems slow, unpossible is great though from last week.
Zombie Gunship Arcade launches tonight with controller support. That means... There are 300 apps & games with controller support!
