As an iphone and apple TV user, this makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxFan9 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 That controller is nice but the lack of L3/R3 and start/select is going to limit what you can play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 When streaming at home you should be able to use whatever controller is synced with your PC since it’s just acting as a screen mirror. For internet/non-local streaming - Can a PS4 controller sync to iOS like it can on Android? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably defeats the purpose then. I heard there are ways to get a PS4 controller to work using the Sony streaming app and switching profiles or something. Don’t think it’ll work with the steam app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The range on my Xbone PC Wireless Adapter is well over 50 feet as I can be on the opposite side of my house and upstairs and it'll still reach when streaming using my shield.

Mine doesn’t work on the opposite side of the room, about 50’ away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m using my Xbox, which is in my tv console. I would say 30’ makes sense. My PC is in my office in the basement. No controller will reach. I have to use either the steam controller or the nimbus. Hopefully Apple adds support for PS4 and/or Xbox controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, yea, I'm talking about the PC adapter. The new controllers use Bluetooth (I think?) so I don't know their range. The PC adapter seems to go through my ceiling to my bedroom with no connectivity issues, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
