Does this work well with gaming platforms (Steam, etc.)?

All I tried running was Wine to emulate some PC games. I was unsuccessful at getting all but one working.

I just plugged it in and it worked without having to install any extra software. My laptop read it, recognized it, installed the druvers, and away I went, playing Recettear on Steam, with no issues.

It works with any PC though I wouldn't suggest purchasing it. I've had all sorts of issues with it's performance. The seller I received it from never responded to my inquiries. Hopefully this will help your decision.

it's been holding up fine for me. It's a mobo, and its ASUS. I do not use all the features that are available for this mobo, but if you do, it will work great with Steam's big picture [if you are able to set it up properly]. I am using Fractale Node 304 case, so the only issue when installing it is the small room. This mobo fits in nice and tight with very little room to spare on the side with the thing sticking up.

According to the steam store page as a minimum yes it will. Recommended running requirements is vista or 7 though.

we have this set up. Works fine - but we haven't really pushed it yet with gaming yet.

I use it for Dolphin for emulating and it works great. Havent used it for any steam games yet i will have to test it. But Like Fig Martin said it does act as a normal controller, so I would assume it works.

I think it only works on Steam if you buy a game code. Though, if you buy a disk, it should work with whatever program you have.

I tried it with COD: Modern Warfare, and Battlestations Midway. It ran those older games just fine.

I couldn't get mine to do anything with steam. It uses Uplay which behaves much like steam, it's been a Tom Clancy proprietary program for a while and as such is required to run the game regardless of how you purchase/install the program. Wish I had a better answer for ya, but it's a great game, though the pvp gets a little redundant pretty quick in comparison to a lot of shooters.

yes it works fine if u just have the mouse and not the keyboard or vice versa. i haven't had any issues yet. so far so good.

Assuming it only provides the key, after which you install it through Steam, yes it should work.

Yep! Steam supports linux and works great. So far as system req, if you can run steam games you can run linux. Its much leaner than windows. But download the latest version from linuxmint dot com, and make a donation directly to linuxmint foundation. Dont buy this cd sold on amazon here.

It functions perfectly fine for all other applications/games. I honestly can't see why it wouldn't work.

Yes! That's part of the reason I got this controller. It has worked great for games on Steam and uPlay for me so far. I haven't tried Origin yet, but I have no doubt it would be fine.Keep in mind, the USB cable isn't optional. So while you do need it to play on a PC, it's also necessary for playing on the 360, as the controller has no batteries.

Yes, it works out of the box, highly recommended for any Linux distro: SteamOS, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc. Great for games! Works flawlessly with Steam and Steam games. Not sure about ChromeOS or Android but I assume those include all the same drivers as every other Linux distribution does.

I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean and the answer is yes. That is what I use it for. I am not sure how it will work with gaming, as I use it on a work computer.
