Steam Link is seriously cool!
Playing AAA games on my x250 thanks to Steam Link! With decent internet it works really well.
@sam if you want a more general purpose tool, I've been using moonlight and sunshine - it's an open source implementation which has been giving me much better image quality when streaming from my desktop
Moonlight is great, not heard of Sunshine, will have to check it out! Since I had my kids, the only time I get to game is either in bed or when I’m pooping. Got an AliExpress controller that essentially turns my phone into a Switch, worked out the box with both Steam Link and Moonlight! Best shits ever.
We have a physical Steam Link (and a Steam controller) that we bought way back when Steam Link was fairly new. Now an Android TV that has the Steam Link app which is also pretty nifty. But since discovering Moonlight and Sunshine, we've been using that exclusively because it runs so much smoother.
I've heard of moonlight, the only reason I went with Steam Link is that it was dead simple. Better image quality is definitely tempting, I'll give moonlight a try soon!
@sam (steam link is very cool still)

Nice! I am liking your GuliKit controller - I use the KingKong 2 Pro often and it's great.
I'm thinking of getting one but I don't like the Xbox One form factor think it looks kinda ugly and probably doesn't feel good
How's it feel to hold compared to a steam controller/deck/ps5 controller?
I think the Xbox form factor is fine. I've used DualShock 3 and 4 a lot, also Joycons and Steam Deck, but I don't mind the different layout. The ergonomics are good. Better than Joycons and maybe even the DualShock. I haven't used DualSense though. The Steam Deck is superior for me, because I always use the right track pad, since it's much better for controlling the view than a joystick is. Maybe I'll try to get a Steam Controller sometime, but till then I am completely satisfied with KingKong 2 Pro.
Do you use it wirelessly? If so how's the latency/range? Also how loud are the buttons/sticks? Are they dampened?
Steam Link is great to steam your Gaming PC to where you want to play you games. I use it with my Nvidia Shield to play games in my bedroom.
I absolutely love the Steam Link. I don't use it quite as much as I did before I picked up my Steam Deck, but it's the perfect way to play games on the TV with my wife when we aren't a console household. They also still ship updates for it despite not actually manufacturing it anymore. Really incredible little box.
What controller is that?
it's the GuliKit king kong pro 2
great controller, has hall effect joysticks (so no stick drift), a gyroscope, and swap-able face buttons (xbox or switch layout)The triggers are hall effect as well. The best controller I've ever used for racing games
