    While I kinda understand the steep price, not being able to use with other than Steam is a deal breaker for me. Yes, you can create shortcuts inside Steam and use the controller like that probably but still. On the other hand, I can use the old Steam controller even on a browser alongside with the rest of my OS.

      That’s pretty huge to me too. My main use would be with Moonlight, an open source version of Steam Link, and if it can’t connect to that Android TV to begin with, it’s worthless.

      Strange that the Xbox and PlayStation controllers are now more open and reusable.

      I think it’s only Windows and Mac that are like that. Linux you can install just the steam-devices package for Valve hardware drivers.
