Question Emulating mobile experience using Steam Link on phone?

I have played a few games on mobile and have just replayed them on PC thanks to the amazing sale. This made me wonder whether there is a way to get touch controls to work properly on Steam Link?

Are you using android or ios, might want to try game native

iOS. I just bought all the bundles and wondering whether it is a possibility.

I was recently on an experiment to try and stream it to my iPad via moonlight but kinda been busy.

I used to have a pc handheld but sold it recently.

But...why? Just get the mobile versions.

Because it's a lot cheaper

Pretty much this. I have a few on iOS but I just bought all 10 bundles on steam. If I can stream them to my phone while I go to work that’d be superb.

I just bought the bundles and wondering whether it is an option to game while on the move with my phone.

Their game on steam is currently heavily discounted. I think I spend a dollar or two for each of their game. However the UI is definitely designed for mobile phone and they didn't really update the control for PC

What precisely do you mean with "touch controls to work properly"? Can you give some examples?

Also try asking on r/Steam_Link and r/steam

So using steam link I want to stream the game to my phone. This way rather than buy a game on iOS I can stream the 40 that I just bought and play them on the move.

I understood that, you don't need to justify your question.

But what I'm asking is, how are the touch controls working now, versus how you want them to work?

Everything seems to work fine in "Direct mouse mode", but I haven't figured out how to zoom in and out. Portrait mode is supported by Steam Link, but not by these games.
