    I’ve got one I never hooked up. Can you just control the computer in general or do you only get access to steam? I wanted to jellyfin with it maybe

      You can control the computer but it boots in big picture so you need to escape it to get to the desktop

      Can control it in general, but the first few times you’ll have to run over and look at the monitor to do stuff.
      It generally assumes it’s being used “close” to the computer, so instead of complex pairing, it just shows a code on one you type into the other.
      Sometimes windows will get antsy and pop up a dialogue that can only be interacted with locally, but it’s only one or twice ever.
