I'm more interested in the steam link. My PC and TV are in two seperate rooms and even while i drilled a hole through the wall between them for ethernet, HDMI cables won't work when they are longer than 10 meters or so i've been told.
Anyone have one? How is it?

Are you fucking retarded? HDMI will work over 300 foot cables.

>>332507613

I have a PC across the house from my living room. I ran the wires through walls on the perimeter of the house (easier to work than the inner walls) which totaled ~80 feet. I run a 100 foot HDMI and use this device to run my USB devices over 100 foot ethernet.

https://www.amazon.ca/IOGEAR-164-Feet-Extender-Ethernet-GUCE64/dp/B013VP3372

Don't try to use a regular USB extension cable over 18 feet, it will constantly drop connection.

It works flawlessly, no different than sitting at my PC itself.

I run a 75 foot HDMI in my home at 1080p and it has never had an issue, contrary to that articles claims.

You can actually just rebind it so you don't need retarded hand positions like that to begin with.

I've thought about getting but my Xbox 360 PC controler works fine. I'm not going to fix something that isn't broke.
>>
>>332507365
It's getting there.

It's the first controller that older fps games are actually viable on.

I could totally see somebody putting up A good fight in an arena shooter of they get the gyro and acceleration tweaked properly.

It's funny, you end up strafe jumping in quake by doing a fish motion with the controller.

>inb4 not accurate as mouse
Probably, but I could see somebody getting really good muscle memory doing twitch rails with both wrists + gyro

Try jumping, turning, and shooting at the same time on console.
It's pathetic I know but controllers are garbage at multitasking which is why they always get rocked in cross platform play

watched a review and one dude said it's basically ONLY good for slow PC simulation/strategy games and browsing lol

it fails in all other aspects

not suprised because it just has shitty trackpads, those were never designed for real gaming or anything at all, it's just so you can use your laptop on the fly when you travel and don't have space for your mouse

>>332508058
Buying anything to ethernet converters running at $100+ defeats the purpose when the steam link is like $50

I like it. It takes some getting used to. What really makes it a worthwhile peripheral is having it in combination with the steamlink.

Steam link has worked terribly for me and from my experience I would not recommend it. There are tons of latency issues and a lot of games frame rate drops.

Mostly competitive gamers. It's actually a clever technique and you're retarded not to do it if it's advantageous.

What exactly stops you from playing fightans without a numpad, retardo?

What exactly forces you to play it on a keyboard, retardo?

Who the fuck needs a numpad for action games or platformers?

Fucking casul shitter
>>
kek I wouldn't take one of those pieces of shit off their hands for free
>>
>>332517367
Funny thing is there's a good number of people who play fighting games better on keyboard. Also keyboard is fine with it comes to 2d platformers but I'll give you it for 3d ones.

Low game support. You know about that obscure game that you wanna play with that controller? It wont work.
You are better of with the x-box controller, at least for now.
>>
>>332517285
Im not even complaining because i simply do not care about that thing, the ps3 controller has the same problem with windows and that can be bypassed with drivers so i guess the same thing will happen with this one.
Im just surprised.
>>
>>332517901
doesn't it emulate keyboard+mouse/touchpad?
>>
>>332517993
Yep, it can simulate either an Xbox gamepad, or a keyboard and mouse. It requires you to think about the configuration though and there are some things that make a lot of sense with the Steam gamepad that wouldn't with a normal controller. For instance, with the Steam gamepad it makes sense to bind common actions to the touchpad click and the grip and put the less used actions on the buttons which is kind of the reverse of an xbox pad where the stick click is awkward.

teleport grab is not exclusive to console ;)

>>332508187
the only games that are better with a mouse/keyboard are FPS, RTS, and MMORPGs.

everything else is either equal or better with a gamepad.
