Guess who got their hands on a steam link and steam controller recently!

Sorry for the stuffty quality, phone cameras are arse

It's really nice to use, I'm going to be using it a lot in college when I want to play something on the big screen, like couchware games.

The controller takes a bit of getting used to, but it's actually a nifty piece of hardware.

Cool

is there a lot of noticeable lag with the steam link? i imagine it would depend a lot on the network setup but what's been your experience

It's not good for comp play, if that's what you mean. That brief ms of input lag can screw up someone who is used to quick reactions and such, otherwise it's a pretty solid streaming device. But then again, I haven't used its ethernet port yet, I'll get back to you when I do.

So how does the Steam Controller fare compared to an Xbox 360 controller? I've been thinking about getting one.

The fact that it can substitute getting a mouse and keyboard alone makes it better than getting an xbox controller.

To each his own, it just takes a little while to get used to, seeing as the right stick and d pad are actually touchpads.

[Pastrey Crust]

Did I get one of those?

You wish you had to budget to get one :^)

Much better than the 360 controller imo. What I like most about it is how much you can customize it.

If I were to get a console it would be a PS4.


Not a streaming device.

Streaming device so you don't have to move a PC that's probably more powerful than a PS4 ;)
