How do I set up my Nimbus Wireless controller
with my iPad or iPhone?
1) Turn on your controller and press the bluetooth button on the top. This will put the
controller into pairing mode.
2) On your bluetooth supported device, make sure bluetooth is turned on and you should be
able to find the controller in your supported device's bluetooth menu. If the Nimbus does not
show up, try to disable and re-enable bluetooth
3) The Nimbus will only work with games and applications and provide MFi controller
support. There is a list of compatible games included in the SteelSeries Nimbus Companion App
which is linked below. There are also lists of games with MFi support available on the web, but
we cannot guarantee their accuracy.

Will the Nimbus Wireless controller work with
a Macbook?
The Nimbus is classified as an MFi controller, as opposed to a typical "gamepad" that one might
consider an Xbox or PlayStation controller to be. Because of this, developers need to include
support for this controller type by including a framework during the development process that
allows an app to read user input from the controller. Games that are cross-platform typically do
not include support for these types of custom controls, and you will be able to get much better
details about support for MFi controllers by reaching out to the developers of the game or app
you are trying to use and asking them.
