The Steam controller felt extremely responsive as we played, with not a noticeable bit of lag to be found. During the game, we had absolutely no hiccups. The experience was pretty smooth overall. Rocket League, for those of you who haven't played it, is essentially an amped up version of soccer played with crazy vehicles, and a loose interpretation of gravity. To start, we hopped onto our 12.9' iPad Pro and played several season matches of Rocket League. You know, for testing purposes of course. We tested out a variety of different games, on several different devices. A quick tap or click on the 'Start Playing' button jumped us right into the game after an exceptionally brief load time. In the Steam Link app, a summary screen let us know that we were successfully connected to our Mac, Steam was running, our controller was connected, and the host connection was solid. On some, touch controls can be acceptable, but it is a much better experience using an actual controller over the touch screen. Technically, you don't need a controller for every game.

We then went through a small pairing process with the host computer before we connected our Steam controller to our device.
