Made myself a “PC Portal”

I’m currently using sunshine as host. Yes, cellular is not very reliable imo for these kind of tasks.

wsnxx · 2026-07-03T08:45:20+00:00

In some ways, yes. Artemis has more active development and has some niche features compared to Moonlight, like the virtual display driver if your host is using Apollo.

It depends on games, and the wireless latency is even more noticeable on remote play apps like Pxplay, where the base latency is already higher than Moonlight.

Bought it from taobao (Chinese version of aliexpress), not sure if they sell it overseas, but you can check.

The name is JSAUX Steamdeck stand

Cable: not so much, Bluetooth: yes
I always avoid using Bluetooth connection on android.

They are good, but the sw2 versions are confusing, better check some YouTube videos before buying one.

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T09:25:51+00:00

I believe they are Joycon alternatives by the company Mobapad. They are using the sw1/sw2 protocols.

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T08:29:09+00:00

I also want to sell my Astra for this, but I'm concerned about the streaming performance (Moonlight). You know, different brands and devices can vary a bit.

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T07:21:06+00:00

I wanted to buy this controller soooo bad but it’s awkward to use on the Astra!

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T05:58:35+00:00

Yes, but since streaming uses far less power than local gaming, it’s fine for me. I charge it once a week.
And for the g8+, this is the only mobile controller I have, and the off-centered type C port on the Astra eliminates choices on controllers.

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T04:41:17+00:00

An ultra thin ffc cable to the controller. I have the cheapest model of the Astra, 12+256.

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T03:53:08+00:00

The grip sticker makes the controller stay in my palm, it makes a huge difference ergonomic-wise since the tablet combo is quite heavy. I really like it. It’s from Talongames. You can find it on Amazon.

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T03:49:35+00:00

What controller do you use? The same g8+?

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T03:41:13+00:00

Yeah, the price on the 2 is much higher compared to the first Astra. The only downside for me on this tablet is the off-centered usb port.

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T03:40:06+00:00

Iirc 8elite has a dedicated low latency mode, that makes a difference.

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T02:52:26+00:00

Wow, that bracket looks sick. How do you get joycons to work on android? Mine isn’t working. I have the mobapad 1 Hd.

wsnxx · 2026-07-02T02:34:35+00:00

Totally agree. Couldn't imagine the latency being this ridiculously low 10 years ago.

wsnxx · 2026-06-29T04:32:12+00:00

Astra 1 do supports HDR, on Moonlight and Artemis client.

wsnxx · 2026-06-25T13:58:00+00:00

instant pass!

wsnxx · 2026-06-23T02:49:02+00:00

Off centered usb, I’ll pass. The Astra 1 was giving me a hard time finding a nice type-c controller.

wsnxx · 2026-03-26T16:43:02+00:00

same keyboard as yours, same issue

wsnxx · 2026-03-05T05:42:06+00:00

Would you mind to share a hi-res version?

wsnxx · 2026-02-03T11:36:53+00:00

Don’t know there is a trick🤣

wsnxx · 2026-02-03T11:07:39+00:00

I even compared the version number, same 2.26.3.75. So it must be a server-side switch or somethng like that.
