Does the SteelSeries Nimbus+ work on Xbox Cloud Gaming?

Ben F_412 · Nov 30, 2023

I have been trying to play Fortnite on my computer with Xbox Cloud Gaming with a SteelSeries Nimbus+ controller but it hasn't been responding. Is the controller not compatible or is there on my end? The Nimbus+ connects to my laptop fine but it doesn't work when I get in-game.

I have seen posts like these that say it works fine with no problems.

We have the same problem. We bought the Nimbus SteelSeries controller with Minecraft specifically to set up multiplayer LAN for our kids. They do not use Minecraft on AppleTV, since they cannot join with their siblings using an iOS device.

Godless what worked for me is I had to use the Xbox adapter that came with the Steelseries headset with the adapter. The turtle beach chat cable does not work with the steelseries. It works fine with my px5 connected to the adapted but for some reason
the turtle beach chat cable doesnt work with steelseries h wireless.

Steelseries Siberia V2 is a headset that belongs to the old console generation and while it worked well with xbox 360, the Steelseries went through an update and delivered The Steelseries Siberia Elite for the current console generation.

Its the Steelseries H Wireless which works completely wireless on ps4 but because xbox one does not support usb headsers it will not work you still have to connect to controller for chat
