Steelseries Nimbus: Battery Replacement for Steelseries Nimbus

Sun, 26 Jun 2022 23:26:50 -0700

There seems to be no source for a new battery for this controller. Seems ridiculous. Mine sat plugged in for a couple months and is dead. I’m not going to buy a new controller when all I need is a new battery.

Steelseries Nimbus: Stick drift on both sticks

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 15:18:59 -0700

I like to play Minecraft on my iPad and recently bought the Nimbus+ and this controller is great for that, except after owning it only a few months, after playing for a bit, inevitably I start getting progressively worse drift on my right stick and then even sometimes eventually the left joins in. Is there a way to repair or replace these sticks, or perhaps even swap them with a hall effect sensor joystick?

Steelseries Nimbus: My left analog stick does not respond but still presses down?

Sun, 27 Nov 2022 12:04:38 -0700

Literally like two seconds ago I was playing fortnite and I was able to run by pressing down my left analog stick, and it suddenly stopped working but still makes that clicking noise when I press down. What’s weird is that when I press down and move backwards it runs forward, so it still technically works just not how it’s supposed to. What should I do?

Mon, 26 Jul 2021 13:35:29 -0700

I have had the Nimbus Steelseries for over a year now without problems. A few months ago, I got a small crack in the joystick that eventually grew until my joystick broke in half. I have tried superglueing it, but to no avail. Instead of buying a new controller, can I replace the old joystick?
