Works as advertised
Always wanted to give this a try, but my gaming rig wasn't up to par. I have upgraded now and the Steam Link does a great job of streaming to my TV. I've played some older titles (we're talking vintage 1990s type of PC games) as well as some of today's AAA titles and all have worked smoothly. I've used keyboard and mouse as well as a modern gaming controller (XBox One controller) and both work fine.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Unstable
Unable to use this after hours of troubleshooting. It frequently locks up and has to have the power cord pulled to reboot. No other device has issues connecting other then this.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Amazing
This thing is the bomb. It streams whatever you have on your desktop very well and isn't just great for games. It works like a super chromecast. The only catch is that I recommend that at least your PC has a wired Internet connection, if not both your pc and the steam link, also have at a few MB/S from you carrier.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Cool Product but definitely not perfect
A few quirks that still need to be worked out on this thing as far as exiting menus etc, then having to physically go to the host PC to close down, restart steam etc.. Sometimes have issues with lag over my home network. Since games often require such precise control and reaction times, it can be a bit frustrating to play with. When it is working well though, it doesn't seem to be much of an issue. I noticed that reducing resolution settings to 720p made the steam link go from unplayable to playable at least over my home network. Also, connecting my pc that is actually running games and steam on my home network directly to the router over ethernet helped improve the stream quality even though I was still using wifi from my living room tv for the SteamLink. EVen with it's shortcomings I'll still give the SteamLink a four star review, simple because it basically gets the job done for a really reasonable price point.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Small in size but HUGE in use!
The product arrived as was designated; on time and quick. The set up was simple, and streaming is a breeze. I highly recommend using your modem or ethernet extender for optimal performance, but once you do so, your games should run smoothly. I was surprised by the size, which is small, but the design is sleek and very cool. I don't have a Steam controller, but you can use pretty much any controller, like a Switch Pro. However, you will need a wired controller of some sort to first-time setup the system.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Awesome little box!
Fast setup, didn't even need to read the instructions. It'll walk you through setting up your controllers, link it to your pc via the code it gives you and bam like 5 minutes from it being in the box to playing games with your dad on the tv. Awesome little box, barely warms up a little after playing it for a few hours, it is smaller then it looks! I was expecting it top be around the size of a router, it's like half that size little bigger then my wallet is all, Tiny. Oh and all you do is go to the power option and turn off the big picture mode and you can steam your entire pc and before you know it you're streaming hulu, netflix, the cw, you name it. Basically it's like having your beefy pc on any tv in your house without having to move the monster around. Thanks steam!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Easy to use, easy to improve
The steam link is great out of the box, but once you buy it, do yourself a favor and look up some Youtube videos on easy methods to improve the streaming experience, such as using a flash drive to change the bandwidth limit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Awesome device to stream games to TV!
If your powerful PC is too far away from your TV and you wish to play there, without using a super long HDMI cable, this is your solution! It's worked great so far streaming at the same fps as mi PC. Super recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It's an RBI not a home run.
It is what I expected and easy to set up! Not a perfect solution for me since I have little control over my home network infrastructure. This means I can run into bandwidth problems.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
