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.

It can be a good experience, depending on the kinds of games you play and your tolerance for input latency. Don’t go in expecting a miracle and you might be surprised how good it is.

The best experience I’ve had so far is with an Apple TV running Steam Link. My Xbox controller is also able to connect to my PC through the floor just fine, which i find helps a bit with the lag compared to pairing it with the Apple TV.
