I have a Steelseries Nimbus but compared to the DualShock 4 it feels very clunky. Hopefully tvOS support also means iOS/PadOS support.

Supporting the XB1 controller and the PS4 controller is a big f'n deal. This means that Apple is ready for a higher form of war.:p:D

What about the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller? They might as well support controllers from all 3 console makers.
