I use moonlight/apollo.

1. Connect my Dualsense controller to my macbook

2. Open moonlight on my macbook

3. Connect to my gaming desktop in full screen mode

3. Launch my AAA game on Steam

4. Profit

Over Wifi 7 I get basically no discernable lag, which was crazy to me the first time I tried it. I also have a Minisforum attached to my large screen TV and the process is identical except I push a different combo on the Dualsense controller to connect to the Minisforum. Because apollo saves settings, I can pretty seamlessly switch between the two with basically no issues.

Now try it on your phone. Playing Diablo 2 Remastered in bed on an android phone with controller attachment on 6.7" OLED 2340x1080 @ 120hz HDR is super amazing. Better than Steam Deck....phone stays cool and battery lasts forever, it's the same as watching a movie on it.

I have a question if you don’t mind – do you also have to kill AWDL to prevent lag spikes during a streaming session?

Does this work better than steam link? Obviously I imagine it works with non-steam games is part of the point.
