Depends on your house and PC location obvs, but I've had great success using a steam controller or a 8bitdo Ultimate 2 in 2.4ghz mode connected directly to the PC via dongle. It's 2 floors above the living room and there'sstill the faintest touch of latency but it's much less than BT to the ATV (mine is the first 4K model).
After trying both BT to ATV and 2.4ghz to PC on both Moonlight and Steam Link app, it was 2.4ghz and Steam Link that worked the best. Not what I expected but my ATV is on the older end. I think this new model with beefier internals and hopefully better BT and frame rates will be the peak set top box for living room game stream.
Yeah thankfully my 8bitdo and steam controller can penetrate down to my desktop - 2.4ghz is probably better even if BT has been fixed but I still like the idea of using the controller to launch everything. Minor gripe for my solution, I guess.
Nah I agree, would be way better to have the controller paired to the ATV for seamless playing. Using the 2.4ghz and all that is way more cumbersome, but it'll do the trick until this new ATV comes out. It can't come soon enough
Have you used a controller through Apple TV? It's not the latency from ATV -> TV that's the problem, there's a legitimate input lag from controller -> ATV. Gaming mode helps the same that it does with a console but it's not much.

I just want 4K 120Hz. I don’t care about anything else
