Is there any decent cheap controller for the ipad pro? I read couple years ago that they added support has anyone tried one?

I have a hard time using a onscreen joystick as my thumb gets hurt
 
I have the Steelseries Nimbus and really like it. If you can wait a bit the CEO of Steelseries said they will have an update to the Nimbus with L3/R3 support. Which gives it more flexibility similar to Xbox and PS4 controllers.

I would probably wait until Apple officially announces Apple Arcade. Who knows, maybe Apple will also create their own controller at that time as well.
 
I wish they would release an updated game vice controller. Considering iPads are on like a 2 year life cycle. I think it is a great concept.
 
Based on the reviews on your linked site, some customers have experienced mediocre build quality.

The Nimbus on the other hand feels like a nice product in my experience. No rumbling feature on any of them, so on that regard it won’t match the experience you get with a console.
Many people have reported that the joysticks on the Nimbus breaks after a few months or so. :confused:

Edit: Actually, it breaks on both controllers. :eek:
