Steam in-house remote play (link) (feddit.ch)

Hi all, I've been thinking about setting things up so I can play Steam games on my TV but I'm a little confused on the setup. So here's what I was planning:

main laptop in office will stream the game
TV in living room connected to Nvida shield
Nvidia shield runs Steam Link to connect to laptop
Controllers connect to Nvidia shield??

I think the main thing that confuses me is if I can connect my controllers to the Nvidia shield or do they need to connect to the laptop?

Anyone have a similar setup that works?

I use this exact setup, heavily. I've used both XBox controlllers and Switch Pro Controllers (the pros unfortunately have a weird driver issue, where you don't get full analog range out of the sticks). The controller connects directly to the Shield via Bluetooth, and the Steam Link app recognizes them, no problem.

The Steam Link app is occasionally quirky, but overall, I'm very happy with the setup. Have played Elden Ring, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Armored Core 6, Mass Effect, all this way. My wife has done a bunch as well. We've even done multiplayer with Tales of Symphonia and Plate Up, and I've done emulated games with Dolphin, although that was a fair bit trickier to setup.
