      Both works. It has a builtin ARM based PC running SteamOS but it also comes with a 6GHz dongle allowing you to stream from your PC wirelessly.

      That was my read on it, not sure how I feel about it, I’d be happy enough with vr/ar/display glasses just hooked into the new gabe-box

    Interesting they switched the steam controller to built in battery, but made this one replaceable AA.

      Less downtime in marathon gaming sessions? I don’t know that this was meant to be portable outside of the house, I’d hate having to carry extra batteries with my deck…

        The original Steam Controller case has a compartment for a set of spares. It’s not really a big deal having to carry and swap batteries, though not knowing what the charge level is can put you in a bind when your controller goes out at an inopportune moment!
