Comment on If iFixit starts selling steam motherboards, can you buy just a motherboard and make a console-only steamdeck?

  If you are using Steam Link you still require a PC

  That's cheaper, but it's also a whole hell of a lot worse.

  Streaming is OK, if you have a great network, but it's significantly worse than playing on device. An XBOX controller is OK (but worse), but attaching a tablet to it is awful balance.

  The Steak Link app doesn’t recognise controllers reliably on Android. I’ve got a few controllers that work in other games, are recognised as being connected in Steam Link, but just don’t work. Connecting them with a cable lets them work straight away.

    I’ve had more luck streaming games with Moonlight (+ Sunlight server on game pc) than using Steam Link, both for controller support in certain games and just better latency. Even on Steam Deck, when I’m at home I barely notice a difference, it saves a lot of battery and I can AAA games without compromising in graphics settings.

      I’ll give it a try, thanks :)
