steam controller on Chromecast with Google tv ( Shadow gaming)

by SYL3NS

Hey, does anyone know if i can connect the steam controller to the Chromecast with Google TV and use it for Shadow gaming? 🤔

Edit: what about a use with the steam link app? that should work without any problems, or?

I managed to do this with the Steam Link app and an xbox 365 controller - don't see why it would be much different.

Controller worked to both navigate menus on the TV and to connect through to the PC for gaming.

However I did notice a fair bit of input lag, so in the end I left the controller wirelessly connected to the PC (upstairs) and in my setup this seemed to work much better.

The steam controller can connect via Bluetooth, but I'm pretty sure it identifies as a mouse or maybe a keyboard, not a gamepad. So if the app allows you to custom map controls it could work.

In my experience, the Steam Controller does not work with the CCwGTV. It sometimes behaves like a mouse, but poorly. And in the Steam Link app it goes crazy and bounces all over the place. It's just not compatible for some reason.
