- | I decided to take a gamble and buy a Steam Link and controller just after the initial first batch. It was a gamble as a lot of the games in my Steam library are mouse and/or keyboard games. I knew that some just wouldn’t be suitable (X-Plane 10), but I hoped that some others (Euro Truck Simulator 2, Perfect Golf, etc) would be usable since the controller did seem to have pretty good key-mapping capabilities. | + | **I decided to take a gamble and buy a Steam Link and controller just after the initial first batch.

The Link is a small device, about the size of a pack of playing cards, which connects to your gaming device using either Wi-Fi or ethernet, and connects to your TV using an HDMI cable. | The Link is a small device, about the size of a pack of playing cards, which connects to your gaming device using either Wi-Fi or ethernet, and connects to your TV using an HDMI cable. | ||

- | Steam Controller | + | Certaines configurations sont fournies par le développeur du jeu, mais si aucune n'est disponible, la communauté en propose généralement au moins une. |

It has more than enough buttons (four on the front, four shoulder buttons, and two grip buttons on the back) with the inevitable Steam button slap bang in the middle which will turn the controller, and your Link, on/off. | + | Avoir le choix de la configuration est intéressant.

Perfect Golf - Surely one of the perfect games for the Link and controller!

- | Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Another one that would be excellent on the big screen, and in the comfort of your sofa. Well, this one does work! But at a price. Thus far, the only way I’ve managed to get it playable is by setting the control interface (in game) to keyboard then binding the relevant keys to the controller (or using an existing set of bindings and modifying them as necessary). Fine for most things, but terrible for driving. Which is what the game is about! Imagine driving in ETS2 using the keyboard. Not pleasant. | + | Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Another one that would be excellent on the big screen, and in the comfort of your sofa. Well, this one does work! But at a price.

So, you see, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Maybe all your games will work great, and you’ll love the Link, but, as it stands, I can’t see how the Link is going to bring PC gaming to the living room TV. | So, you see, it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

- | Yes, it’s great to be able to get in there and configure the layout to exactly how you like it with in depth controls, but, ideally, you want some preconfigured settings.
