You guys didn ' t even have to worry about voting for so long <| sep |> Why did you Change it ? Nothing rhymes with winkle . Pump pump pump <| sep |> The steam controller can be paired to both a dongle and a steam link without a dongle . The link has the necessary tech built in . The process goes like this pair on PC no steam link with dongle . go to steam link , plug in via microusb cable , connect to PC , go to pairing again , but this time on steam link . once pairing has been started , unplug steam controller from link , turn off the controller and press xpower and follow onscreen instructions . you ' ll now be connected to the steam link wirelessly . From then on , you can swap between the dongle and the steam link by turning the controller off and then pressing APower . Each time you do this it ' ll swap . This way , I have my PC connected with a dongle permanently and when I want to swap to the link , I turn it off , press APower and then it ' s connected to the link .
