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.

Got it, I don't really have a good way to hardwire the shield. Is the shield controller any good? The ps5 controller that I have is super comfy, it's really hard for me to play with anything else after playing with it.

The shield controller is good. Not as good as the PS5 controller feel wise but I imagine it is better with latency. It was better with latency than the xbox one controller at least. You could always try it with the PS5 controller first and if you don't like it, then you can get a shield controller later.
