For some games, the recommended controller setup does not work. Switching back and forth and reconfigure the controller works, but in some cases the game does not respond to the controller input at all and you need to get up and restart it from the Mac directly. It happens that games to not respond to controller input. But the mouse curser is always in the middle of the screen, so at least you can use it to aim :-) Often the mouse courser is present on the TV even it's hidden on the monitor and the game does not require a mouse. Well, some games work great, but many have issues. I'm using steam link + steam controller on a mac pro. Do I feel entirely confident it will be ready for primetime in a few months? Absolutely.ĭo with that what you will. Now, I can play games on it with some frustrations and workarounds. When it arrived on my doorstep on 10/15/15, it was a paperweight. Ultimately, it's come a long way in 2 months. Aparently this has been patched, but I've yet to test.

The Steam Controller works, but has acted up recently. I'm also running into weird issues with any game that requires mouse input forcing the cursor to be always present on screen. Xbox 360 controllers currently don't work as advertised when plugged directly into the Link. Things start getting hairy with controllers. I can't speak to audio because I have an admittedly bad system, but audio from the game comes out of my TV with little to no latency. On a wired connection, graphics performance is as advertised. It's certainly better now than it was on day one, but if you want a flawless experience after opening the box then you should probably keep waiting.
