A few points stand out. It seems the person asking isn’t the one with the controller. They also don’t see the need for a Steam Controller, finding it unsuitable. When using the Steam link, they prefer couch-friendly games and favor mouse, keyboard, or desk input over a controller.
Confirmed - I don't have a Steam Controller. I completely understand your point. The Steam Controller isn't something I'm interested in. If I needed precise mouse and keyboard control, I'd just work at my desk with a regular mouse and keyboard. It would have cost me enough, so I'd go for the more traditional setup.
The discussion highlights different gaming setups and considerations. It emphasizes that Steam Link aims to bring PC games into the living room, where regular controllers might not always be ideal. Some games require using a mouse with keyboard or a controller due to fast-paced action and rapid movement. The suggestion of Serious Sam was made because it involves many enemies and demands quick reactions, making it less suited for traditional controller use. Additionally, testing latency and image quality is important when switching between different visual styles.
The game is quite affordable, which means I’ll think about adding it to my testing collection. A simple keyboard and mouse game isn’t a bad choice, though. For better results, having a decent wireless mouse and keyboard would help, but I don’t have those right now.
I'm currently on the phone, so I'm not checking much. That game is usually advertised as nearly free, but it's often listed as fake. You might want to check g2a for a lower price.
We all think the same thing. It seems the choice comes down to whether players will enjoy gaming on the couch with either a mouse and keyboard or a Steam controller. My earlier comment was that he should focus on couch-friendly games since we already know it's not great playing on a mouse and keyboard in the living room, and he doesn’t have a Steam controller.
