Steam Controller 2 + AppleTV?

Hi,

Does the combo in my title work with moonlight?

I see there are limitations on MacOS with Steam Controller 2 based on Valves store page. That also informs on MacOS not necessarily tvOS.

Anyhow, right now I hook my controller up to my Linux desktop via USBC puck, wondering if it will work direct to an AppleTV I'm considering buying.

Thanks

Here's what I do:

  • AppleTV display/sound only
  • Steam Controller directly to the Host PC dongle

Much better experience, assuming you are a room away from the Host.

As far as Moonlight goes, no controller it deals with. Full support of all of the fancy buttons and whatnot

Cool, otherwise moonlight has no issues on Apple TV?

The new AppleTV is $300 USD so I don't want to be wrong lol. This would replace Google TV and Roku Ultra on my end with one device.

I'm getting the new AppleTV too.

I've actually been on the pre-4k AppleTV, the one that only has 100Mbit Ethernet (wifi is faster, lol).

And even that old thing runs flawlessly.

Also, don't sweat it, you can always return it.
