This is the beginning…
of a wireless gaming revolution. With the Stratus Wireless Controller, SteelSeries is placing an entirely new world of console-style mobile gaming in your hands. Thanks to iOS® 7, developers can now code incredible games for iOS® devices with the classic console control schemes we have used for decades. Stratus Wireless takes advantage of this breakthrough like no other controller on the market, joining Apple in bringing the revolution to light.
Intuitive Controls
Right out of the box Stratus feels oh-so-familiar. This helps make the transition to mobile gaming a seamless one. The face buttons (4), shoulder buttons (4), analog sticks (2), and D-pad were all designed to provide that console-like vibe. In the iOS® world, only Stratus gives you so many inputs – if you game with analog sticks and shoulder buttons , you simply won’t find them on the other controllers in the market.
Design and Shape
Stratus Wireless features a contemporary style to fit right in with the rest of your Apple devices. It’s small enough to be portable, but big enough to easily hold and maneuver. Every Stratus Wireless controller includes a cover which can be attached to the rear of the device which also functions as an added grip. White or black; the choice is yours.
Precision
Stratus doesn’t feature just any run-of-the-mill buttons. To truly emulate that console feel we engineered the controller with pressure sensitive buttons for the ultimate in analog control. The shoulder buttons, face buttons and the D-pad all feature pressure sensitivity making them as precise as possible depending how much force is applied.
A Real Gaming Experience
Great hardware will only take you so far without quality games to use it with. Thankfully there are plenty of titles in the App Store that already support the Stratus Wireless and hundreds (maybe even thousands) more on the way. From big-name blockbuster franchises like Grand Theft Auto, down to the newest indie games, the development world is all over this expanding market.

Multiplayer
With the Stratus Wireless controller gaming on your iPhone®, iPad® or iPod touch® doesn't have to be a solo experience. In supported titles, up to four players can game on one screen. LED lighting on the top of the controller indicates player number to easily keep tabs on whose turn it is. Play solo or get connected with others, Stratus Wireless makes it effortless to do both.
Portability and Playability
As the only free-standing Bluetooth iOS® controller on the market, if you want to play on the iPad® or iPad mini®, Stratus is the only game in town (and of course it works with all versions of the iPhone 5® as well).
Bluetooth 2.1 makes connecting the Stratus Wireless controller a snap and also provides extended battery life. Play for 10 hours and recharge with the included USB charger in only 2 – go ahead and play while you charge if you just can’t get enough!
