Steam Controller Trackpad haptics kill streaming performance
Hello,

just noticed pretty weird behavior with the new Steam Controller (Puck plugged into Steam Link Hardware via USB). Intense usage of the trackpad, like keep pushing it into a screen corner (trackball style) kills streaming performance. Performance overlay shows package loss going up, bitrate trading from down- to upstream, yellow 'Slow Network' warning appearing and red line in graph spiking heavily (or just staying up there). Stopping input will make everything work fine after a second or two. Somehow felt the need to try again with disabled haptics for the trackpad and boom, problem is gone! Not the end of the world, but trackpad haptics sure would be nice :D

Didn't have that happen with the original Steam Controller, so might as well be some problem on the controller side of things.

Love all the work that is still put into the Steam Link, it's my go-to way of gaming for years! But... Steam Link 2 with AV1 decoding and integrated puck, when? :steamhappy:
