So I was looking for a wireless android controller(which lets you put your phone in it) and I found this guy's(RetroBreeze) channel. He was reviewing Gamesir G8 plus and showed this combo idea.

He inserted a trackpad+keyboard instead of a phone in it. Isn't it great?

not comfortable

Looks like the GameCube keyboard controller

Anyway the couch PC experience is still very much suboptimal and it's why I stopped trying years ago and am happier for it.

If some company can make a thin and lightweight keyboard/mouse, it could be great. I think it's really good as an idea. I don't know if this one is comfortable, but it does look thin and light.

I've been doing it for years and it's totally fine after a bit of work, but definitely not anywhere near as plug-and-play as a console.


Hopefully the new UI software Microsoft is working on fixes that.

Couldn't have imagined anything worse by the thread title. Give up on physical keyboard and mouse and hope for a Steam Controller 2 (or just use any ol regular controller which is fine for the vast, vast majority of games). Something like a Deck without compromising form for a built in PC/screen.

I plugged the PC to the TV and shit just works.

Guess that must be too complicated for some people.

It's big and hasn't been available for a couple years, but it's pretty great.

 

[Crayon]

Yeah no thanks. Just keep one of those htpc kb/m remotes. Use a dual sense so you can push a cursor this way or than on occasion.

 

[poppabk]

Weirdly using moonlight to play on a remote PC is a better experience than local as you can just hold down select or whatever to switch to using the stick as a mouse which is pretty much all you need to be able to click on a pop-up or open gamepass or whatever.
They need to build that functionality into windows.

Another DoA invention of pc-minorities.

Calling something "the best" without actually trying it should be a bannable offense

I just use a small-ish keyboard, regular mouse, and light lap desk that I keep near my couch.

I have Windows set up to boot directly into Steam Big Picture mode so most of the time I don't even need it.

Dude, the PS2 one for FFXI was godsend

These things kicked ass. FFXI wouldn't have been as playable without it

 

[rodrigolfp]

Where is the mouse part??

 

[buenoblue]

I've been using controller companion lately. Only wish I could turn on pc with xbox controller

 

[Guardian Monkey]

your controller of choices

 

[Kataploom]

Nah, that's not couch M&K gaming for me, I'll just move to Switch 2 for my online gaming which is the only think I want with M&K...

BTW, someone will create a Joycons 2 profile for Steam Controller, if they haven't already, that will give the best of both worlds for everyone doing PC couch gaming.

 

[Closer]

Attach a controler into a Motorola Milestone 3 or something and we golden.

Trackpad doesn't count?

Nnot really even less with that layout.

 

[Jinxed]

Actually shit.

Best is a plank entirely covered with a mouse pad with an actual keyboard and mouse. Add your favorite controller for some games.
