Obviously only works if you’re in range to run the cable. Use the K830 as a second keyboard/mouse for the PC.

Just set your TV up as a second display for your PC, no Steam Link required. I’ve now been playing games like Dicey Dungeons and Crusader Kings 3 three different ways.Ī long HDMI cable is by far the easiest way. They did their best but it sucked.īut what if you don’t use the Steam Controller and use a regular keyboard and trackpad instead? Turns out that’s pretty easy, particularly with the excellent Logitech K830 wireless keyboard/trackpad. They got it working reasonably well at 1080p on a wired home LAN, but it never succeeded in the market and you can’t buy the hardware anymore.įor me the real problem was the Steam Controller which was not only a bad game controller, but also a really bad fit for PCs keyboard-and-mouse user interfaces. The original product idea was you’d install PC games on your fancy gaming PC, then stream them to a cheap streaming video device on your TV so you could play on your couch. Steam Link is Valve’s half-abandoned technology for streaming PC games.
