I am now on my second Nimbus from Apple, I changed my first one on Saturday 12 December 2015 because the left joystick was not returning to the neutral position, now the replacement has gone the same way...

Ok I went back to the Apple shop with my Nimbus and I was shown by a young member of staff that the left joystick could be pushed in a bit and that you can hear it. It now works a treat, shame the basic instructions that come with the Nimbus controller don't tell you much... I am now a happy bunny again... Thank you Apple Staff in Liverpool Shop.
Controllers are hard to get right. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo spend millions and millions in R&D on these things any time they go to revise them, and they can go through thousands of prototypes. Even then, they can end up releasing a second revision to the existing controller mid-generation (Xbox, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One) that just adds to the development cost.
So I'm glad to see they've managed to produce what looks to be a mostly competent controller at a reasonable price. Though, ergonomically, this doesn't look to be too great. I'd have to get a hands-on with it before buying one.
It is quite ergonomic. I play GTA on my iPad with it for 2-4 hours straight.

I have no idea how much the cost would be.
