However, maybe sometimes we want to sit on the couch, or retire to our gaming rooms to couch-it-up. This is an awesome tool to stream Steam via "Big Picture" and utilizing what tool you use to control your inputs/audio. CONS: Initial setup can be a bit tedious (I received a unit, and the default language was German. Though this was a quick fix. Despite what you may read, this doesn't work well on a wireless connection (unless you're maybe right next to your router, which why wouldn't you hard-wire anyway?). It lags significantly. PROS: When wired, it has worked FLAWLESSLY. It was tedious to wire and drill through to the basement, but it was well worth it. Bluetooth capabilities allows you to connect wireless headphones, which, trust me, is a nice thing. I already own a couple XBOX 360 controllers (Wired and wireless). With the purchase of a wireless receiver, I was able to connect my controller and it works perfectly. This is another scenario where the wireless headphones are a nice plus (because who wants to buy an xbox 360 controller headphone jack adapter?). Depending on your Tv's refresh rate (usual 1080p TVs have 60HZ) you should get the same FPS as you would on your pc monitor. It is possible to connect a keyboard and mouse. Now, I'm never going to utilize this feature, as I feel it defeats the purpose of using the Steam Link in the first place, but it is there and available. It has a small form factor. It does not take up a lot of room, therefore, you can fit it next to other devices/consoles/etc. I personally have mine sitting next to my Wii U console on the same platform in my TV stand. Conclusion: IF you can have a wired connection (via ethernet cable) to your router, Steam Link is a great Steam streaming device. Also, when coupled with a Steam sale, it can be cheaper than $50 ($35 was last price on Steam Sale, which desertcart also honors), which is a great value considering all that you get with your purchase. Review: Great product for $50, works great even when one side is wireless. - I couldn't count the number of times my wife would be laying on the couch fiddling with the tablet and complain that I spent my time in the other room where my gaming computer was. She wanted to "spend time together" even if we weren't actually doing the same thing. Since there wasn't really a comfortable chair in the computer room, she wasn't going to come over to where I was. The Steam Link has made this an obsolete issue. I can stream my computer screen right to the TV with pretty much zero issues. For 50 dollars, this is an amazing deal since a long enough HDMI cable alone would be ~$20 and then I'd still have to route USB cables through my walls to use controllers or mouse and keyboard. With the Steam Link, I can just plug a wireless USB adaptor in and I'm ready to go. I also got a Steam Controller to go along with it, and it performs well (separate review on that page). I'm giving it 5 stars, but it's still not perfect. One issue is that there are only 3 USB ports for adaptors. Now, I've heard that the USB dongle for xbox controllers actually supports 3 controllers, so this may be a non-issue, but frankly just throwing in one more to get to 4 (the magic number for couch video games, IMO) should have been done. The other thing, as many people have mentioned, is that the wireless is kind of suboptimal. Valve themselves suggest using it wired, and if you're able to do so, I highly recommend it. THAT SAID, I have the Steam Link wired to my router, and then the connection between my computer and router is wireless (Wireless N) over about 30 linear feet and through a wall. I've noticed a little bit of stuttering here and there, but overall it's just like playing on the computer. However, there was one time my wife started streaming HD video on the tablet while I was playing and it froze my game on the link while it was still running on my computer. It only happened that one time and I couldn't repeat it, but I wouldn't play a championship where money was on the line using this unless it was wired on both sides. A lot of people suggest using the network-over-powerlines, so that is probably your best bet for most houses where the router is a few rooms away from the computer and you may not want to run new networking cables if you don't have smurf tubes in your house (tubes built into the wals for easy wire routing). EDIT1: I still use this constantly and haven't had any issues. Lots of updates from Valve. The only thing I'll add is that I have since set up a "powerline" wired network and the "pretty good" performance went to "basically flawless". I do recommend you get wired on both sides if you can manage it, or buy powerline adaptors. It isn't unusable if you don't, but it helps a lot if you do. ## Features - Commemorate 500 million playstation systems Sold with this limited ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B016XBGWAQ | | Batteries | 2 AA batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,462 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #3,993 in PC Games & Accessories | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (3,568) | | Date First Available | October 20, 2015 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1.9 pounds | | Item model number | V000694-XX | | Manufacturer | Valve | | Product Dimensions | 2.3 x 2 x 3 inches; 1.9 Pounds | | Release date | September 19, 2019 | | Type of item | Video Game | ## Images ![Valve Index Steam Link - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EOTY-h-nL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When utilized properly, this is an AMAZING tool *by A***K on August 17, 2016* So, we all know we love PC gaming.

No lags in frames or anything. Using the screen overlay it shows that it's running the game @60fps, this fluctuates 30-60fps depending on what's going on in the game. Ran the connection test the result was 9% potential latency loss which I thought was too minimal to worry about. It might be an issue for FPS games which I'd never play haha Went with wireless since I'm a techy, *cough* nerd, and like to be with the latest tech... wired is soooooo yesteryear :P Pairing with DS3 controller was a bit more complex than it says on their wiki... it is not plug n play wireless even after the update to the latest firmware. It did work wired but this is not the function I wanted since my TV is far from where I'd be sitting to play. In my case I had to go with the beta build and wait for install/reboot. After that the DS3 controller was plug n play wireless, connect the DS3 controller with USB to Steam Link and disconnect once detected and done wireless DS3 controller as if connected to the PC. FINALLY AFTER 30min of searching the web and reading different guides and checking YouTube that were outdated (all said wired only!)... good thing I'm an IT guy SMH The one star less is due to this... Played Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning, old game I know but it's the one I'm playing at the moment, and it looked great. Mostly play retro or older games... also catching up with my queue as I work full-time and have responsibilities. Sometimes being an adult sucks! lol Going to try the remastered edition of Darksiders aks Warmastered Edition and see how it handles it as it was re-rendered to be in ~4K. Might also reply The Evil Within and see how it handles as well. However, was disappointed that it picks up the resolution of your monitor and that is what's used in the stream on the TV. My monitor is pretty old relic with 1680x1050 LCD (AOC 2019Sw1) whereas my TV is a 4K smart (LG 43UH6100). So I'm playing 16:10 on a 16:9 screen >_> I'd have to see if increasing the resolution on Win10 would affect the stream resolution output by Steam link or if this is strictly dependent on the monitor. I've checked their FAQs and this is a limitation that I wasn't aware of... guess it's finally time to upgrade the monitor XD Nope.... couldn't put off checking while wrapping this up and changing the Win10 resolutio to 1920x1080 affects Steam Link as well while streaming PC and in game resolution change to 1920x1080 gets Steam Link running the game with this resolution at 60fps. Was going to upload a screen shot from in game with the screen overlay FPS and resolution but Steam doesn't capture that info... Did not drop 1 star since there is a work around... it is a streaming device and doesn't handle the resolution native. Got this on the Cyber Week sales for $19 and think it was a steal... might of paid the full price knowing it was going to be this good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Valve Index Steam Link(US Version, Imported) - Valve Index Software Wireless Steam Controller - Steam Controller Carrying Case --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/20203124-valve-index-steam-link](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/20203124-valve-index-steam-link) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
