I downloaded this app trying to see if I could play Windows-only games on my Macbook Pro. I opened the app and connected it with my computer, then while it was loading, my mouse started moving on its own and my screen started going up in contrast, like it was melting. After forcibly turning my computer off and then back on, I immediately deleted the application from my device. After signing back into my computer, everything seems normal (as of the time I am writing this), but I’m not sure if what happened then will happen again. I hope this app didn’t do anything that would damage my computer, because I’ve already had to replace the hard drive on it once.

So I only have one game right now that I care about and maybe the issue is just compatibility with that particular game but my experience has been awful. The game is Steins;Gate 0. When I start the majority of the time it will get stuck on “connecting”. Except it isn’t really. There is a pop up that appears on the PC. So I have to go over there and click the button with my mouse. Now the game will start on the iPad. But... half the time now the audio is on the PC and not on the iPad. And half the time the Steam controller stops working a few seconds in. If the game is full screen the it runs 10x faster than it should making it unplayable but only when using this app. If it isn’t full screen then half the time the streaming misses just slightly so I see part of the desktop and part of the game. There are other issues but I’m running out of space. But when it works it works great, just requires around 5 tries and 10 minutes to get there.

So bought an Rotor Riot iOS (RR1850) MFi controller everyone recommended. Started up steam link and dark souls and everything worked well. But then tried to get into menu and the steam overlay kept popping up. Realized that the start/select button chords weren’t working. It’s like the menu button on the controller is hardwired to pop up the steam overlay. So tried turning the overlay off and than it’s like the menu button didn’t do anything in game. I know that the button works because it registers in iOS games and in the controller input check. This makes most games unplayable since the start and select button is quite important in most games and functions like an inventory and menu. So most games including dark souls is unplayable. I might try an Xbox controller but didn’t work with the recommended MFi controller. Hopefully this is just a easy software update fix.
