NVidia Shield For Streaming Steam Games Opinions? (programming.dev)

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.

A used minipc could also achieve this, potentially with less cost then buying the Shield.

If you're planning to use paid streaming apps with it too, that's a different story and probably worth it.

Or you could even go the long HDMI cable + USB route.
