      @Supreme_Overlord since the will probably be used for Steam games, check out the Steam controller. I got one (2nd one is a regular xbox wireless) and it has been pretty good. And it can go wired or wireless.

      yeah these go on sale quite often so you might want to wait until you see it

      It was discontinued in November of 2019.

      What do we do now? The Steam controller is what made SO many games actually usable! Dammit. That was a literal game changer.

      Yep they had a blow out sale in November. Then they announced they were clearing stock and cancelling un-shipped orders. There was rumor about a V2 coming out but nothing has materialized yet.

      That's SO sad. REALLY sucks. We use those for absolutely everything.

        I totally forgot that happened. This was when they were selling steamlink for $1 right. I think all of it was on sale

            I have four. They make so much gaming accessible.

                Really like the Link I have. When you play over a wired connection it works flawlessly.

                    Whatever you pick, it’ll work a lot better than this setup 🤣

                      That's a constantly moving target. Pick something within your budget from https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html
