The SteelSeries company announced at CES 2014 the launch of a new joystick compatible with iOS 7, It is the SteelSeries Stratus model and it intends to compete directly with the Logitech PowerShell or the Moga Ace Power, two products that are already on sale and that, due to their high price, few are those who have decided to buy one.
El SteelSeries Stratus It does not seem that it will be cheaper either, and according to what we can read on the product's website, this joystick will cost 99 dollars or $99 if we reside in the European Union. In return we will receive a remote equipped with a crosshead, two analog sticks, multiple buttons for the most demanding games in the App Store and Bluetooth 2.1 wireless connectivity so that we can play with the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
As is common with these types of products, the SteelSeries Stratus has an internal battery that provides a autonomy of 10 hours with a single charge cycle. When it runs out, we just have to connect the joystick to a USB port to start the recharging process to have it ready again after a few hours.
Sure, the SteelSeries Stratus is a good product but its price does not help for users to decide to buy an accessory of this type for their iOS device.
