Steam Link: Connect XBOX 360 controller - how it works
With Steam Link you can stream games from PC to your TV. This practical tip shows you how to get even more out of the gadget with an XBOX 360 controller.
Connect XBOX 360 controller to Steam Link
- In addition to a wireless XBOX 360 controller, you need a USB receiver to use the controller. You can get such receivers on the Internet for a fairly small price.
- Connect the adapter to a Steam Link USB port. Now press the connection button on your controller and on the adapter. When the connection process is complete, you can operate the streaming box with the gamepad.
- It is also possible to connect your controller with a cable directly to the Steam Link USB port. This eliminates the setup process - you can start right away.
- Unfortunately, you cannot connect your XBOX 360 controller wirelessly by default - Steam Link has no receiver for this. However, you should be able to connect a whole range of Bluetooth controllers. Find out on the Internet whether your controller is compatible with the Steam Link.
- Alternatively, use the Steam controller. You can also connect it wirelessly without an adapter.
