While the new Apple TV is not
Still out, Steelseries, a peripheral manufacturer for the game has already
Announced a game controller compatible with the Apple TV. She was born from a
Very close collaboration with Apple. The interview below reveals to us
behind the scenes of this creation.
It has a 40 -hour autonomy, a Lightning connector, of
two analog sticks in addition to a directional cross, of 4 buttons
checks, 4 pressure sensitive triggers and a menu button for
Apple TV navigation. This controller is called Nimbus, and connects wirelessly
In Apple TV Bluetooth, but also iPhone, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. A
Application Companion SteelSeries will allow you to see a top game ranking
compatible with nimbus, in addition to checking the software updates
controller.
None of launch date is announced while at the price level it is
Rather a good surprise because Steelseries is not known for good products
walk. Now the Nimbus according tosite of
manufacturer$ 49.95 is sold.
As thisinteresting interviewWith the president of Steelseries, the
controller is different from other controllers already existing in the sense that
She wasDesigned jointly with Apple. Apple having
especially influenced its design.
We also learn several interesting facts on design and
the use of Nimbus.
It was designed for prolonged and pleasant use over time
(like the controller of the Xbox One console) with the idea that the Apple TV is
A living room console.
Knowing the passive of Steelseries, it is not surprising thatthe
controller was also thought of with an "e-sport" spirit. I cease
Steelseries also thinks that the Apple TV will become a platform for the
Sports game on the big screen.
Always in this concern to also please a demanding audience and in order to
minimize latency(time between the moment when a
key is supported and the moment when the character performs the action
corresponding in the game), very important factor for big players,
The controller uses the latest generation of Bluetooth 4.0. Of
plus,It has its own processorto interpret
immediately the signal when a player presses a key, instead of
Send it to the Apple TV processor and wait for the answer.
In short, a controllerthought for the Apple TV, inexpensive, Who
could also become one of the best MFI controllers to use with
The iPhone, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and iPad Mini.
We will have to wait for the first tests to make a final opinion on this
product developed jointly with Apple.
