I've got a hardware Link - it's still being supported now. It had an update a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, but I've had 4K monitors and 4K TV for almost as long as the Link has existed. It very quickly became useless to me the moment I upgraded to a 4K TV. The Steam controller is also an utterly horrible UX so the pair were just a waste of money that sat in a drawer until I stuck them on eBay.

A 4K Steam Link should have been an obvious iteration, and a controller with actual buttons and sticks (I half-joke about the controller, I know some love its touch nature, I just hated it, could never keep my thumbs in the right spot).

Then don't buy a steam controller? Why release something you can buy. And you can choose the layout (analog stick) or size xbox/ps4,ps5

The controller is amazing and enables non controller games to be played with one. This doesn't stop me from using another controller for emulators.
