SteelSeries releases Stratus Duo controller for PC and Android for 70 euros

SteelSeries has released a new controller that is suitable for both PC and Android games. The controller works wirelessly with Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connections and has a battery life of twenty hours.

SteelSeries positions the Stratus Duo as a controller that is easy to use with multiple devices. The gamepad has a layout similar to that of an Xbox controller and no software is required. According to SteelSeries, the Stratus Duo is also suitable for VR headsets such as the Oculus Go and Samsung Gear VR.

SteelSeries supplies a USB adapter for wireless use in combination with a PC. The controller can be connected to Android devices via Bluetooth. There is no support for iOS. SteelSeries has been making the Nimbus controller for Apple devices for a long time, but it cannot be used with a PC.

It is possible to attach a smartphone to the controller with a holder, but this is not included. The built-in lithium-ion battery should be good for more than twenty hours of playtime and charging is via a micro-USB connection. The Stratus Duo controller weighs 245 grams and is for sale for a suggested retail price of 70 euros.
