abunda_amazon_reviews I bought this disregarding all the bad reviews which was a good call. Amazing controller. You just have to have a little patience to set it up. Do not use Bluetooth in the windows 10 settings, if you've already done that, go to Bluetooth settings and remove it. Now you have to go to the control panel and click on hardware and sound > devices and printers > add device (top left corner) it will find the "steel series stratus xl" controller and set it up, but this is not the device you need. (by the way you might need to hold down the connection button on the top for 5-10 seconds to reset it) After that device is installed right click it and remove it, then power off the stratus xl and back on again. It should automatically install "HID compliant game controller" this what you need to use or else you will not have any input. If it connects successfully you should have the first led light up on the controller (sometimes the second one). If you want to test input go to start and type joy.cpl and hit enter (there should be "steel series xinput controller" here) click properties and you should be able to test input. This wasn't something I discovered I found it on a reddit thread after hours of research. I will add some pictures so you can understand what I mean. Don't give up, it might take some fiddling around with. This is working on windows 10 build 1803 as of yet. All functionality of Steelseries engine is pretty much lost but it never worked for me anyways. Android works perfectly. **update** Amazon took down my review for my reddit link and pictures? I don't know but I hope this still helps some people.

When you get the item, the item does not come with a micro usb cable, you will want to get one with the ability to transport data (this is very important, because some micro usb cable only provides power not able to transport data) First, try with the usual method, just follow the instructions come with the item (bluetooth connection and etc to see if the usual way works or not, if it works, great! Enjoy!) If not, clean the memory of the controller (hold down the pairing button for 5-10 s), then I believe my review here would help. 1. download the steelseries engine from steelseries official website, as of I'm writing this review, the version is 3.13.0, but I believe the fix came around version 3.11.0, this software is vital because it will update the drivers on the controller so that it would pair properly with your pc. Once installed, open the engine and do step 2. 2. See the attached image, on where the red arrow points, you will see a micro usb port which allows you to connect the controller to your pc via cable and without batteries. You want to make sure the cable you use is able to transport data otherwise you will end up with only four indicators blinking and no response. 3. After connection, the steelseries engine should instantly recognize the controller as "stratus xl" and will show that the controller needs update (in the steelseries engine interface), click update and wait for it to finish. 4. After update, the steelseries engine will show a msg telling you what you need to do after the update. Disconnect the cable after the update (you won't need it anymore), put in the batteries, turn on the controller, and pair the controller to your pc via bluetooth. At this time, in your "Bluetooth and other devices" interface should appear a device called "Steelseries Bluetooth HID device" 5. Once paired, turn off the power of the controller, then turn on again. Now the controller will automatically pair with pc, at this time, in your "Bluetooth and other devices" interface should appear both "Steelseries Bluetooth HID device" and "HID-compliant game controller", also in your steelseries engine, the controller would appear through your bluetooth. As of now, the controller is setup and ready. I hope this review would help anybody who had or is having connectivity issue, this controller feels firm and looks well-designed, I would hate to see people consider their money wasted just because of some software issue.;;Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Fix for Windows 10 connectivity problem;;Kent D.;;/gp/customer-reviews/R2TNRFWUMMLBF8/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B015WKY3IM;;;DORS NOT WORK WITH FORTNITE IOS!

What more do you need? Every button (except Menu) is pressure-sensitive: left and right shoulder and trigger buttons, A, B, X, Y, the D-pad, and of course the analog sticks. Developers have to make their games to use that, of course, but the controller can do it. The sticks are not clickable, it that matters to you—it's not a part of the MFI standard, so they don't do it. Get an HDMI connector for an iOS device, or use it with an Apple TV, and you get the console gaming experience. It's important to know an MFI controller is only supposed to work with iOS and Mac OS 10.9 or better, and it will only work with games and apps that have implemented the MFI standard—which includes hundreds of games, but not all games, even ones that seem like they obviously should work with a controller. You can always ask the game developer to add support (and they usually will), but the controller won't work with that game until they do. The companion app for iOS—not Apple TV—conveniently lists the compatible games, allows for firmware updates, and has a copy of the help/manual. Of course, you don't actually need the app.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Really great console experience on iOS;;Andrew;;/gp/customer-reviews/R2IQGB02WQ657G/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B015WKY3IM
