When Apple launched its MFi program for controllers for video games, the manufacturers only bet on it timidly. Few decided to make accessories of this type for iPhone and iPad, and the few that did appear also had somewhat cold reviews, far from offering an experience similar to conventional game console controls. But the arrival of Apple TV has changed things and the fever of games for this new Apple device has been unleashed. To the now classic SteelSeries Nimbus that is receiving such good reviews we can now add the Horipad Ultimate, a new control knob that comes to convince gamers that Apple TV is a video game platform that should be taken into account.
With two analog controls, the classic D-Pad, four action buttons on the front and another four on the front, it doesn't lack anything you need to handle the most demanding games. It has a rechargeable battery for up to 80 hours and a lightning connector to be able to use the charging cable of any of your iOS devices or the one that comes with Apple TV for the Siri Remote. Its design and materials are, according to the first reviews, of the first level and it adapts perfectly to your hands to achieve good control of your video games.
It is the first real alternative to the SteelSeries Nimbus for both performance and good reviews, and although at the moment it is only available in the American Apple Store, it is foreseeable that it will not take long to reach the rest of online stores around the world and Apple Physical stores for this Christmas campaign. Its price is the same at which the SteelSeries Nimbus is sold, $ 49,95, so It is to be expected that in Spain and other countries it will also maintain the same price, € 59,95.
