Thank you so much Capt Moore! Great name btw. I just tried to sync that smaller Stratus and my iPad recognized the device. Thanks again. I love forum because people out there are just so freaking cool.

Hey everyone. I'm running 10.2.1 iOS and still cannot get my SteelSeries Stratus Wireless Gaming Controller for iPad to connect with my iPad or to any MFi compatible games. What's bizarre is my SteelSeries Stratus XL connects to iPad and all MFi compatible games. Is Apple aware that certain controllers are not recognized on iPads? Mine is BIG too...iPad Air2/128G. This device will pick up my dry cleaning...if you get my drift. And according to most forums, both of my controllers should connect now. The Stratus does not even pretend to connect to iPad but the Stratus works just fine. Both controllers are SteelSeries, so why does one work and not the other if they are both made by same developer using same tcehnology/software in both controllers?
Seriously confused...

Hello everyone who is having compatibility issues with SteelSeries Controllers after updating to iOS10. I spoke with Apple and it is technically that software update that is causing these problems. I can share the steps Apple walked me through that made my controller compatible again.

1) forget your device in Bluetooth settings. 
2) turn controller off
3) hard iPad Reset - hold power button and home button down UNTIL white Apple Logo appears
4) try finding your device again in Bluetooth settings
5) connect to a MFi compatible game

If this does not work. Do all steps listed above, only delete those MFi compatible games and then upload game again after completing steps above. I know you will lose progress but you might be able to back up game progress in iCloud. 
I hope this helps. Jamie
