Local game streaming is great I think. I've been using an Abxylute One for the last two years. Decoding latency is around 9 ms on that. Weirdly my much more modern phone is at about three times slower, but that's besides the point.
I keep running into the small display gripe. A 7" diagonal just doesn't do it for me with many games. So I've been contemplating about getting either a handheld PC or an android "gaming" tablet with a screen at least 8 inches and - eventually a different, because mine isn't that great - stretchy controller.

I'm torn between a used Lenovo Legion Go S (Z2Go) or a tablet like the Redmagic Astra (once it's available again). I already own a stretchy controller. And while it's far from perfect it's good enough at this time.

Do you use local streaming? Over Wi-Fi or Ethernet?

What are your devices and how do they perform?

Any recommendations?
 
As I play directly on the console I don't stream. I used the Playstation and Xbox streaming ones or twice just to see how it works.
I do use streaming for VR. There I use a Pico4 Ultra and a Wifi6 or Wifi7 router (both work fine), which streams from my PC (cabled network) using Virtual Desktop Streamer.
 
that was a poc. chiaki crashed on pyra so i played it remotely on my desktop via x11. obviously tons of latency so unspielbar. latency is the silent killer. a stealth assassin.
 
I tried if moonlight-qt or moonlight-embedded armhf (raspbian) would work on the Pyra, but as expected: they don't.
Moonlight-embedded for Raspberry Pi appears to be hardcoded to use 'vchiq' so it cannot start the video stream. The pairing process to Sunshine worked though.
 
I did try this in the week where the Gothic Remake was released whit my XBOX Series X and the AYN Thor using the XBXPlay App, did work quite nicely for stuff that don't need that much precise controls, although I think its dit let me suck at Forza Horizon 6, its actually a nice feature, the Xbox have to compute the Game and the Thor is only the System to show it and control it ..
I think if the Climate Change will be much worse, I think about having the XBOX in our Cellar on an place where its clean, as there its much colder than in my room under the roof ..
Can't wait to play GTA6 on the Thor while sitting under the warm bedcover when its freezing cold outside in my Winter Vacations ..

Strangely enough, I thought about using low-power devices more due to the heat wave as it's so warm in my house and my gaming-PC (or Xbox) generate more heat compared to mobile device.
The Pyra was a bit warm to as I was also charging it, but the Pandora is nice and cool without the battery draining quickly.
