My understanding is that sunshine/moonlight has better quality still.

The built-in steam game streaming has better steam UI integration though, and is available without installing any additional software.

I've used both to play Helldivers 2 recently and have found Sunshine/moonlight to be superior.

Just curious, when you do this in HD2, how do you use the mic?

So far, I don't. It doesn't have a hot key configured by default and I just haven't changed it. I tried to assign the rear paddles, but it didn't pick it up because I think the game was emulating an Xbox controller.

But I only really do level 5/6 missions on the deck. I find it a bit too unfamiliar for 7+ missions where I need to communicate well and pull off my shots with better accuracy.

Basically the same situation here fellow Helldiver, thank you for the confirmation. Now lets get back to the front lines!!

Oh no doubt, Steam Link is super easy to use. Once quality catches up it seriously might become the Stream Deck by default at home.
