You don't have to move your PC to the TV if it's in another room or not close to it. It really is quite a nifty little device!

Can none steam games work with this ?

I had issues with anything origin. Add as non steam games but once in game they wouldnt recognse the controller through the link, they thought i was using kb/mouse and automatically tried to make the controller work in a weird way!

Was ages ago may have been sorted

nothing i cant do with a HDMI lead then, my pc is fairly close to my tv anyway
but i can see how it might be useful for others, if pc is upstairs and you want to play games in the living room etc..

If your PC connects to the TV then a steam link would be a huge step down.

Exactly my situation, I much prefer sitting on a comfy settee in the living room to play third person or driving games to sitting at a desk in the man cave upstairs.

Nope, if it's close by and you have an HDMI lead, and you're sorted for a keyboard and mouse or controller then that's all good. But even if you are, at £16 it's well worth it for what you get.

You need a 360 wireless adapter for the PC. You can plug this straight into the Steam Link and it'll work from that.

Nice to have an ethernet cable AND a HDMI cable to go with the device, handy as I need an extra HDMI to go with the PS3

Nice, then you're all set to play your Steam games from the sofa!

Just bought one of these. Exactly what I need and it seems to be much improved since it first came out.

Just to confirm, if I plug my wired 360 controller directly into the Steam Link, it will work yeah?

Yep, the wired controller will work if plugged in, and if you have a wireless 360 controller then the wired adapter for Windows will work as well.

Ok, £7.40 P&P has killed the mood .

That looks cheaper then it was (Can't remember how much postage they charged me)

I payed £60.48 total for the steam controller and the link in the summer sale..

If I remember right they charged me shipping for both items and would not combine the postage cost
