#1 MFi Controllers » SteelSeries Nimbus R1 button failing » Jan 24 10:47 AM

Hi Guys,
A couple of weeks back the R1 button on my Nimbus stopped responding. I finally got it replaced today and after about 35 minutes of playing, the R1 button has failed on the replacement! 😞 Has anyone else had this button stop working?
The button feels normal so I don't think it's a mechanical failure. Either an electronic part has failed or the firmware has perhaps become partly corrupted. I'm pretty sure I was playing on RetroArch both times the button stopped working. I can't believe the emulator would do something to break the controller but it seems such a specific failure that I do wonder if there's a link.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

Got a Nimbus in the post earlier today, it's really good compared to the Stratus XL, in particular there's virtually no lag which I'm really pleased about. I just finished Contra Hard Corps and Super Mario World using Provenance and I didn't once have to start jumping or dodging early to compensate for any lag.
The d-pad is a big improvement too, it's much more accurate and I only had one instance where it read a diagonal when I was intending to just push left or right.
I'll connect it up to the AppleTV later to give it a try...
