- Can connect one controller in XInput Mode and four controllers in DirectInput Mode.
- Includes turbo mode. Pressing "PlayStation" and button toggles turbo for that button. To disable turbo for all buttons press PlayStation button twice quickly.
Steam Link
- A bit more expensive than other options but provides other useful features and great compatibility.
- Supports Streaming games from your TV via your network and works with the DualShock 3 via built in bluetooth.
