Yes, I have it together with the Steam Link. It feels odd, is not natively supported (it behaves like an xbox controller in games who support it).
Games like Anno 2205 are playable on TV now, which is cool. Shooters aren't playable imho, esp against people with mice.
You can set the touchpad up as a mouse device, but then everytime you touch it, eg in The Witcher III, the interface pops to keyboard style, you press a button and it's back to controller style. during a fight this happens 200+ times and there is a small stutter between every switch. Really annoying.
Unless game devs don't support it natively there is just the potential left imho. This controller needs deeper thinking and integration in the games, not just a button setting from the community. But the device itself is very good and could be my main device, if fully integrated.
Other than the Link; I use it for streaming my games from my PC to the TV in the living room, or I try to use it.
Pros:
+ No more gaming machine noise
+ Good image quality
+ Supports Xbox 360/One controllers, also with the wireless dongle
+ lets you play non-steam games
+ almost no input lag
+ keyboard/mouse, if you wantCons:
- Crashes often
- Only stereo sound
- Lots of running back to your computer, checking stuff and closing crashed games
- Only makes sense with controller, very few games are better or equally good with controller than with mouse/kb
- no netflix, spotify or music player etc, would be an easy addStill haven't figured out how to teamspeak or third party voicechat with others, or how to connect a mic, I don't think its possible
