![]() Battery life is claimed to be about 80 hours, depending on the usage and such, and I can certainly believe it. I've yet to actually test any of the motion controlled features, as I don't necessarily own games that can use motion controls. The controller uses 2 AA batteries for wireless connectivity, which is accomplished by the included wireless adapter when you buy the controller, or you can connect the controller to your PC with a micro USB controller. The Steam Controller also features motion controls, with both a gyroscope and accelerometer sensors built into the controller that "enables tilt-to-steering racing wheel functionality and other motion-controller input" according to the Steam Store page. The rest of the controller is fairly standard, featuring the standard ABXY buttons, a regular left analog stick as well as 元/R3, start and select buttons as well as a center Steam button that acts as a power button and opens Big Picture Mode when pressed, left/right buttons, left/right triggers, and a unique addition of another set of triggers on the back of the controller that fits into the handles, where your fingers rest. Both trackpads feature powerful haptic feedback, meant to give you feedback on what you’re doing and how close to the edge your fingers reach. Valve’s little experiment to help push along PC gaming into the living rooms of yesterday! Promising a worthy replacement for keyboard and the accuracy of using a mouse, Valve’s newest Steam Controller uses two trackpads, the right being a replacement for the right stick and the left being a terrible, disgusting d-pad replacement. Steam added options to change default controls outside of Steam, which was a big problem for me. Just shocking how good it was.UPDATED: 10/24. I was playing it wireless and it had even better input lag than my hardwired Steam Link device. Almost felt like I was playing on my PC and the OLED screen was even better than my desktop monitor so the visuals really popped. I also tried the Steam Link app on an iPad Pro and that was the smoothest experience I had among all the devices I tried in terms of visuals and input lag. I think that game is one of the more demanding ones when it comes to input lag since it's so unforgiving and I was able to get through it just fine. ![]() I finished Cuphead via the Steam Link app on my phone (and sometimes the Steam Link device on my TV). We have a lot of devices in the house connected at the same time so I think a router that can better handle multiple connections and network priority does the trick. Months later I upgraded to an Asus Gaming router and decided to try it again and I can pretty much play anything now. I tried it once with the router provided by my ISP, some extremely basic AC router, and I had really bad input lag. I should mention though that if you're going wireless, the better your router is, the better your experience will be. I've seen people find success with a raspberry pi running Steam Link, maybe that's an option for you? ![]() This is probably the case with your TV as well, they usually have some weak mediatek or whatever processor built in, which is fine for YouTube or Netflix.īut I also tried using my Android phone with a Snapdragon 888 processor connected to the TV and it was butter smooth. I have a cheap Android tv box (not even sure what processor it has, it just says "powerful performance processor" on the box and their website) It works fine for Plex or Netflix but struggles with the Steam Link app because the processor is probably super slow. It still needs decent hardware for decoding the stream. It depends on the device running the Steam Link android app.
