        Only if you play lots of mouse/keyboard games. I would be more picky about a controller.

            @Supreme_Overlord since the will probably be used for Steam games, check out the Steam controller. I got one (2nd one is a regular xbox wireless) and it has been pretty good. And it can go wired or wireless.

                yeah these go on sale quite often so you might want to wait until you see it

                  Exactly. That's the beauty of the Steam store wish list - they email you when your stuff is on sale.

                    I use a Steam Controller for nearly everything. All depends on your gaming desires and style.

                            What do we do now? The Steam controller is what made SO many games actually usable! Dammit. That was a literal game changer.

                                  That's SO sad. REALLY sucks. We use those for absolutely everything.

                                        I have four. They make so much gaming accessible.

                                            I totally forgot that happened. This was when they were selling steamlink for $1 right. I think all of it was on sale

                                            The Link was all but useless.

                                            Really like the Link I have. When you play over a wired connection it works flawlessly.
