Xbox 360 controllers do not support Bluetooth, they use a proprietary RF interface which requires a special USB dongle. There are specific, newer Xbox ONE wireless controllers that do support Bluetooth to PC, but you need to make sure to get the one with Bluetooth support as all Xbox One controllers do not support it.
Xbox One Wireless Gamepads included with the Xbox One S and made after its release have Bluetooth, while the original Xbox One controllers don't. You can use both wirelessly with your PC, but the process is different; you need to get a separate wireless dongle for the non-Bluetooth gamepads.
When you update your controller with the latest software, you get important controller improvements like full use of your Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter capabilities. Update your controller wirelessly or with USB. If you need help with troubleshooting, see Troubleshoot update issues with your Xbox One Controller.
Launch the Settings app on your iOS device, then go to Bluetooth and tap on Nimbus from the list of available devices. Last, launch the Nimbus app. A firmware update for the Nimbus controller awaits. When a software update is available, the app will prompt you to install it right away.
The SteelSeries Stratus XL Wireless Gaming Controller for iOS is the full-sized, big brother, to the Stratus Wireless controller. The release of iOS 7 brought classic gaming controls to Apple's mobile platform. The Stratus XL takes advantage of this release allowing it to work with most devices, even Mac computers.
SteelSeries, the global gaming peripherals leader, today announced the Stratus XL, the first full-sized console-style gaming controller designed for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, is available now. Powered by AA batteries, the Stratus XL will deliver an estimated 40 hours of gameplay.
To return Stratus to its default factory settings, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds while the device is on. Once the factory reset is complete, all of the LED indicators will cycle from green to yellow to green. The factory reset will change the LED dimming and power mode settings back to default.
Turn on your controller. (On the SteelSeries Nimbus, you can do so by switching the Hold button to ON.) If the controller has been previously paired, you may also have to press and hold the Bluetooth button. Open Settings on your Apple TV.
Using SteelSeries Engine 3, the Arctis 3 Bluetooth supports virtual surround sound, but we aren't blown away by it, nor the steps necessary to get it working.
Arctis 3 Bluetooth is the perfect headset for everywhere you game. Connect to all of your game systems including Switch, PS4, Xbox, and PC via the 3.5mm cable while simultaneously mixing in VoIP chat, phone calls, and music wirelessly over Bluetooth.
Well, since the Arctis 7 headphones aren't Bluetooth or Wi-Fi based (but rather, use the same DECT wireless technology as cordless phones and intercom systems), you will need to use the transceiver that comes with the headphones. It's able to connect with the source via either 3.5mm headset jack or USB.
The SteelSeries Stratus XL is a functional, solid controller that can work both as your PC gamepad and your Android device controller. It feels good in the hand and performs as advertised with both platforms, and its build quality puts it in line with the Xbox One and DualShock 4 gamepads.
