![]() Personally I’m more in line with the former situation, so I can tell you how Steam Link works given near-optimal conditions. Valve’s designed the ideal living room machine, inoffensive to a ‘T.’ It makes me wish Valve would work on more hardware there’s clearly talent at that company. ![]() There’s not much else to say about the Steam Link’s design, and that’s a good thing. It’s small, it’s inconspicuous, it’s a black box. I’ve been using the side port, though that’s obviously not quite as sleek. At least one of those USB slots will be taken up by your controller, be it a Steam Controller or an Xbox controller or something else. ![]() The rear also features the power input, a 100Mbps ethernet port, and HDMI-out. There are three USB 2.0 ports on the Steam Link-one on the right side, two in the back. But it’s reassuringly solid, dense in a way you wouldn’t anticipate from its footprint. You won’t get buff curling your Steam Link hardware. It’s also heavier than expected, due to a heat sink in the bottom of the casing. I wanted to take a picture of the Steam Link on top of an Xbox One, but realized I might need a microscope. I’ve taken to setting it on top of the Alienware Steam Machine, where it looks sort of like a baby computer. At 3.5 by 5 by 0.75 inches (give or take) this thing is literally smaller than my cable modem, to say nothing of the Xbox One/PlayStation 4. I don’t think I quite realized how miniscule Steam Link was until I saw it in my own living room.
