SteelSeries Stratus+ Bluetooth Gaming controller for Android & Windows - Mobile - Hall Effect Sensors - Clickable L3/R3

Picture shows a phone in the holder with a hand as a reference to size How it feels: Comfortable in your hands, phone holder is snug both in the phone and the controller and at a good angle, buttons aren't too loud except for l3 and r3, lights aren't too bright, triggers feel nice, analog sticks have no cardinal locking whatsoever, dpad looks funky but feels and presses nice with a slight matte texture, start/select are a bit awkward to press bc they're indented, abxy buttons feel like an Xbox, analog buttons are also quite nice but/and are in a ps style layout, nice plastic, no visible smudging so far. Button mapping: Tested button mapping on Minecraft and ppsspp, maps fine, a mapped as a and x on ppsspp but easy fix. Latency: No noticable latency for me. Also connects fine and does not have a weird Bluetooth name Cable: Works fine, long Highly recommend his controller for every reason unless you want backpedals or an l4 and r4 as this does not have that

The SteelSeries Stratus+ is a wireless controller that impressed me with its straightforward design and dependable performance. It feels sturdy in hand, with well-placed buttons and triggers that respond quickly and accurately. The controller connects easily via Bluetooth and maintains a stable connection throughout my gaming sessions. Battery life is decent, giving me around 10 hours of uninterrupted playtime, which is good enough for most casual gamers. The Stratus+ works great on Windows and Android devices, making it versatile enough for gaming on the go. While it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some higher-end models, it hits the right balance of comfort, responsiveness, and wireless freedom. If you’re looking for a no-fuss controller that gets the job done reliably, the Stratus+ is definitely worth considering.

Very good controller works like a controller is supposed to, no Bluetooth connection issues. The only issue i have is that because the phone mount mounts onto the top of the controller as opposed to in the middle it makes the controller top heavy and wany to lean in your hands making it a bit clunky to hold, especially during long gaming sessions.

I ordered this controller for multi-device usage. I knew that I'd need to use it wired on PC, so that was no surprise, but I found that I had trouble getting used to the Playstation style stick configuration and and immediately started making a lot of mistakes in games. I didn't really intend to use it for Android, for the phone at least, but it comes with an adaptor and works with the phone so I tried it. That was where it really shined for me. I didn't mind the stick layout because the whole experience was new to me, as I hadn't used a Playstation controller since the PS2 days. I found that the muscle memory wasn't so strong for the X-Box configuration, when I was using it as a phone converted into a handheld console type deal. I really got into using it with Gforce now on my phone, and now I'm so glad I bought this. The quality of components are no-frills, old school solid. The sticks don't use Hall Effect technology, but they have a very robust feel to them, like the old controllers that used to outlast the console generation. They are very accurate and as I get used to them, I love the feel. The triggers are hall effect sensor driven, and those are great for games that require throttling, like racing or flight. They feel really accurate. The housing around the controller is a no frills polymer, thick and strong. This is a really well made controller. Despite the fact that I probably won't use it for PC, since I already ordered another, more traditional wireless controller today, I'm glad I ordered this controller. It feels like high quality and I'm finding that playing games on my phone is a lot more fun that I expected. I would recommend this product at the heavily discounted price it's currently on offer for, I don't think you can find a better controller, for what it is, in this price range.

I bought it on April 2025 so here’s my experience: PROS: Stylish, looks premium, comfortable, phone attachment included. CONS: Analogs will drift and will become useless, 1 year warranty either is a scam or seller just wanna make you have a hard time (try claim with Amazon), good enough for a couple months or so then is trash. I don’t really recommend buying this unless you are an occasional player

I did not buy this for Android but tested it on a Pixel Tablet anyway, and it was perfectly serviceable. Bought four of them for couch gaming on sale (about $25) and ignored the Android phone cradle--so I have no opinion of it--and found it to be an amazing deal. Only gap is any sort of rumble/vibrate missing, which you probably don't want if you're cradling your phone with it, but for the price I could not care less. Comfortable grip, excellent price for performance, and works with desktop Linux (just need to disable ERTM on your Bluetooth driver).

When it works, it is great but at least 2-3x per day it will disconnect, really bad during game play. Minor issue is I constantly experience drift. This is bad when I need to be still to performance an action. So this is good for the casual gamer but if you are competitive then you will get frustrated when it fails in critical moments. The battery does not last 30 hrs for me. Maybe 6 hrs at most (playing Diablo Immortals). However, you can use it while plugged in charging. Got the price I expected better performance.

The steelseries Stratus+ has been awesome. I use it primarily for my PS1 and PSP emulators on a Samsung Android device. It's been mostly plug-and-play (or, rather, Bluetooth-and-play), although I did need to map bumper, joystick, and trigger controls on the PS1 emulator. This thing has awesome battery life. My longest session between charges so far has been about 20 hours of gametime and it was only about 25% down. The controller itself has been adequate for any games I play, and it feels on par with any OEM Xbox or Playstation controller. The notable exceptions are the joysticks, whose springs feel a little less sturdy, but I still wouldn't call them cheaply made.

Excellent quality and feel

Although it says connection to PC is wired, I connected to my Dell XPS 13 9310 easily. I had to map out the controls in Steam but once I did, its been flawless. I prefer the Playstation layout so it's worth it to spend $80 for something that acts more like a proper Bluetooth device than the PS4 controller. Build quality is there, comfortable and precise. The joysticks are a little stiff so small actions are sudden but I'm sure with some time it will soften up. Will check if I can adjust the joystick sensitivity for now. Other than that, worth it! Would absolutely buy again.

Prijs kwaliteit is prima van deze gamepad, echter is hij niet draadloos te gebruiken op een windows PC en werkt enkel met een kabel. Daar wilde ik hem voor gebruiken dus dat werkt helaas niet. Dus alleen draadloos geschikt voor android en bekabeld voor een windows PC. Dit stond voor mij niet duidelijk vermeld.

After some research I zeroed in on this controller to use with my Apple Arcade (mostly on my AppleTV). Pairs easily, very ergonomic and has perfect connections. Not the cheapest in price but well worth the money.

Denna kontroller fungerar bra när jag spelar på exempelvis telefonen, men jag har inte lyckats att koppla den till mitt ps4a så på grund utav det blir det inte 5 stjärnor..
