I really get fatigued sitting in my chair playing steam games, I almost pulled the trigger on one of these the other day with the intent of installing moonlight, and sunshine to stream to my TV. Anyone have any opinions? I saw there's 2 versions, does it make sense to get the pro version? Can I use my PS5 controller on it?

Edit: Thanks for all the input everyone!You all have given me a lot to mull over, much appreciated.

Although this is half the price of the steam deck I'd recommend that because it'll last a whole lot longer and you can put whatever version of android you want on it or just stick to Linux. The streaming is top notch especially with the oled model having a more powerful wireless chip.

So you'd recommend the steam deck over the shield?

Absolutely it's great value paired with the dock.
