Playing AAA games on my x250 thanks to Steam Link! With decent internet it works really well.

@sam if you want a more general purpose tool, I've been using moonlight and sunshine - it's an open source implementation which has been giving me much better image quality when streaming from my desktop
Moonlight is great, not heard of Sunshine, will have to check it out! Since I had my kids, the only time I get to game is either in bed or when I’m pooping. Got an AliExpress controller that essentially turns my phone into a Switch, worked out the box with both Steam Link and Moonlight! Best shits ever.

Link to the controller?
I'm not sure, but it looks like the Stadia controller...
Edit: sorry, no it's not the Stadia controller. My bad
If you're referring to OP's picture, that would be the gulikit kingkong 2 pro controller
I was replying to a comment mentioning an AliExpress controller
Sorry, had notifications off!
Search AliExpress or Amazon for Bluetooth phone controller and the one I have is this one:
I also picked up an Ipega 9083S for my Android tablet the other day and that’s actually great. 11” 2K switch for £28 haha.
We have a physical Steam Link (and a Steam controller) that we bought way back when Steam Link was fairly new. Now an Android TV that has the Steam Link app which is also pretty nifty. But since discovering Moonlight and Sunshine, we've been using that exclusively because it runs so much smoother.
I've heard of moonlight, the only reason I went with Steam Link is that it was dead simple. Better image quality is definitely tempting, I'll give moonlight a try soon!
@sam (steam link is very cool still)
