SteelSeriesStratus Duo Wireless Gaming Controller – Compatible with Android, Windows, VR, and Chromebooks – Dual-Wireless Connectivity – High-Performance Materials – Supports Fortnite Mobile

Works amazing with my NVIDIA SHIELD operating system I use for gaming to perfection! Very affordable compared to other controllers and was set up with ease. Just all around very simple to use! I truly appreciate the aesthetics of this product and love the black color and how it resembles both a PS2 and a Xbox controller combined! It’s not too noisy and it’s doesn’t overly vibrate either; the level of noise is perfect. Also, it’s in between the same size as a PS2 and Xbox controller. Made of very durable material and sounds as well as looks more expensive than other more expensive brands!

Purchased this controller as an additional xBox controller. It works as advertised. I also connected to Amazon for use with their Luna games, and it has worked well. The controllers have onboard rechargeable batteries, so there is no need to hunt for AA batteries. The remotes charge fully in about 2 hours, and so far last longer than they are used each day so overnight charging keeps them active each day. The buttons map to expected functions, and there is not apparent lag while in use. The controllers can be direct connected via wifi or bluetooth, and come with bluetooth dongles if required for your set up. Overall a great purchase for the price.

Good quality with a fair amount of weight. But if your used to an Xbox controller I don't recommend this one. It's styled more for a Playstation user. But seems to be excellent in quality and function. Now steelseries needs to design one with xbox design as far as joysticks and button configuration.

Bought it over a month ago for my daughter to play Fortnite with her sisters and it works perfectly and is still holding a charge. My kids are rough with their controllers but it’s proven to be durable. Instructions were clear and set up was easy. Really happy with my purchase.

I really wanted to like this gamepad. The option to switch between 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connections meant it could serve double duty with my PC and upcoming RetroPie, and I had recently purchased a SteelSeries Arctis 7 headset which I've been very happy with. Right off the bat I had an issue with the gamepad getting assigned to player 2 even though it was the only gamepad present; I resolved it by rebooting with the gamepad connected, and it was then assigned to player 1. Not a big deal at all...until...Every few minutes the gamepad spontaneously disconnected and then reconnected to Windows 10. Whenever this happened the gamepad would revert to player 2, requiring a reboot to get back to player 1 status. (FYI, having the gamepad assigned to player 2 fouls up the control mappings in a lot of games, and in some games it won't work at all.) I did what troubleshooting I could, and found out that the issue was with the wireless adapter itself, as it disconnected/reconnected even with the gamepad powered off. I contacted SteelSeries customer support and asked about the disconnection issue. I received a prompt response stating that it was a common issue with Windows 10, and therefore they didn't have a solution.Let me repeat that: it's a common issue with Windows 10, and because it's a common issue they don't have a fix.The logic of that statement throttles the intellect, as common issues tend to get fixed. I was basically told that it has a huge flaw when used with Windows 10, so suck it up and enjoy! Considering I had 1) a hugely flawed product, 2) a borderline insulting customer service response, and 3) a liberal return policy from Amazon I decided not to suck it up and enjoy. I returned the Stratus Duo, and on top of the refund i plunked down another $30+ for a Microsoft wireless Xbox controller for PC.Obviously, given my experience I can't recommend this product to anyone. I did get some gaming in with it though, and here are my thoughts, connectivity flaw and garbage customer service notwithstanding:PROS:Feels great in the hand--good balance, weight, textureExcellent D-pad and analog sticks--very responsive and comfortableFeels very solid and well made, not cheap at allGood looking: matte black with glossy black accents, classy and understatedCONS:Button area is slightly recessed, causing my thumb to get lost occasionallySelect and start buttons are sharply recessed and an obnoxious PIA to pressTriggers have a much shorter travel path than on most gamepadsNo place to store wireless adapter on gamepad (come on--it's tiny!)No rumble feedbackDespite the cons listed above, were it not for the disconnection issue I would've kept this gamepad. In fact, I'd like to be holding it right now. It made a generally good impression when I used it, and in time I probably would've gotten used to the slightly recessed buttons (though I'd probably curse those select and start buttons forever). To paraphrase A Fish Called Wanda, "You have a lovely gamepad...when it works." I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to pay for a "when it works" gamepad. The product drove me to SteelSeries' customer service department, and their customer service response drove me directly to their higher priced competitor. Amazon's return policy means not having to tolerate bad customer service. Someone might want to mention that to the good folks at SteelSeries.

Not great for fighting games where you use the d-pad. Mine wore out and gives false inputs after only a few months. Great for casual gaming though.

I can not recommend this controller enough. I got an android tv and needed one for Android that would work with retroarch. Not only does the Duo far exceed expectations for that, being able to use it on my pc as well to play games wirelessly without jumping through hoops is so above what I had hoped. I had been using a PS3 controller on my pc with the cord often getting bumped, disconnecting and turning on my PS3. This eliminates that issue. I knew it could do both, I didn’t realize how amazingly well it could.*UPDATE*In 2020 when I was finally able to use it more I came across the L3/R3 issue that many have mentioned. Steel series support was great and replaced it but due to pandemic had me destroy it and send pics. This allowed me to see what is causing the issue. There is simply not enough reinforcement on the daughter board for the sticks and too much pressure causes the soldered connections to break, it’s a small break but enough to stop it from working. Since then I’ve been cautious and only pressed hard enough for a click, no issues with the l3/r3 button however now my stick has lost its tightness causing drift, for $40 and it lasted as long as it’s gone through even after replacement, it’s still worth it. Just don’t press too hard on the sticks.Steelseries, I said this when I went through the replacement process. Please reinforce the daughter boards. The controller would be better for it.
