Fantastic product

Steam Link Stream Steam Games from Your Computer to your Video Game TV 1080p Valve V000694-XX
Steam Link Stream Steam Games from Your Computer to your Video Game TV 1080p Valve V000694-XX

Pros: I actually use this more to stream videos between rooms that actual games. Just shrink or turn off big screen mode and you have full desktop access. Works fine with keyboard and mouse, though without the Steam controller there is no power button, but since it's just streaming you can unplug it without messing anything up. Game streaming does come though in very decent quality. It does not often drop a frame even on Wifi.

Cons: You may run into issues if you have two Steam Links streaming from the same PC at the same time. Mostly with sound, as it doesn't seem to keep sound playing to both. Multiple controllers can be a bit messy. Sometimes one doesn't work, and what controller gets used for single player is inconsistent. It did recognize my Xbone and Razer controllers with no issue. I even got a Switch Pro controller to connect but wasn't able to actually use it.

Most Critical Review

No idea how to make them work.

Pros: None yet. If I get them to work I will update.

Cons: There are instructions included for mounting the cameras but not actually using them. I purchased two and have them both plugged into my switch. No lights come on either on the switch or the cameras. There is a tiny reset button hole on them. I tried that, but it didn't do anything. I can't see any other buttons at all on these.

Overall Review: The only thing I can think is that my switch is not able to power them, but it says 802.3af power on the description and my switch has that with substantially more power available than these cameras say they need.

Came with Chinese Powercord

Cons: Can't use.

Overall Review: Came with wrong power cord. No idea if it's safe to plug in with a standard PC cord from the US. I have destroyed things by accident doing that before. No markings on this indicate if it can run on US 110v.

Camera Doesn't work - Refused to allow return

Pros: None

Cons: It did not come with a power adapter. Only vaguely indicates what kind of power adapter might work with it. Does not work.

Overall Review: By the time I found the correct adapter to power it the window to return the item has lapsed. Camera does not appear to work.
