I have had good results however with the Steam controller, and the XBOX 360 wireless controller. Mobile phones are more flexible regarding the output and are closer regarding bluetooth, so ymmv, but for the NVidia Shield TV it is a no go.
The dongle simple rerouted the sound output to the ps4 controller with no way to turn it off in Android TV, although no headset was plugged in. Then it worked as expected except for one minor thing. I tried to resolve that with a PS4 -> Wifi dongle sold by Sony (hilariously expensive). In Bluetooth mode, probably due to the Shield, the controller was really laggy and constantly lost connection. The first thing is, the controller works. I had a mixed bag of results with the PS4 controller on an nvidia shield. You will then see the controller light blinking, shortly after you will see that you have a new controller paired with the Steam Link and it is ready to use.
To pair it with Steam Link, turn on Steam Link with a different controller (leave the DS4 turned off, go under Settings and navigate to Bluetooth Device Settings, then press down and hold the Share button and the Home / PS4 button on the DS4 for several seconds. To switch it from PS4 to Steam Link use, you will first need to completely turn off your PS4 and then get a paperclip and stick the tip in a small hole near the left trigger of the controller to unpair the controller with the PS4. If you are like me and have a PS4, but you're not sure how to use the controller with both, take it from me that you simply can't without a little bit of hassle. Using the trackpad as a mouse in desktop mode is pretty nice as well. I have it connected via bluetooth and the latency hardly noticeable. I used a mixture of XBox 360 and Steam controllers for years but the DS4 is my favorite. I highly recommend the PS4 DS4 (DualShock 4) controller for the Steam Link.
