    Interesting and I might bight - what is the quality it will play on does it still depend on the power of your PC. I'm not going to mess with it unless I'm at least able to play at 1080p with a solid 30 or 60 FPS - also do i need that ugly as looking controller or can I play with my DS4.

    Answers should be in the product links.

    The controller is huge because the design enables you to play games that do not have controller support.

    Well it says 1080p 60 FPS - but it doesn't say if it will work that well from my Costco bought desktop or any of my laptops.

    Hooked this up over lunch, it was definitely a piece of cake to set up. I'll post more once I get going with playing, but the right touchpad on the control works as a mouse pointer, and rumbles as you move it.....very nice touch.

    My big curiosity is how good can the games play if you do not have a great gaming PC?

    It's streaming the game so I'm assuming it works as well as it plays on your computer.

    Yep finally found a review that mentioned you need a really good gaming pc and really good net for this to work properly.

    Sorry I'm out.

    The one thing that is tough is shooters for this game. I wish there was a 2nd stick because it's hard to use the touch pad with precision for shooters.

    That being said everything else works well. For now I'm connected via wifi and it's running well. Going to hopefully try H1Z1 tonight on it.
