      designed for HTPC control

      If you want more than gaming (like YouTube), wouldn’t it make more sense to get a wireless keyboard with an integrated touchpad, like the recently announced Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard?

      I have an OG Steam Controller as well as a Steam Deck and I never ever thought to myself that for HTPC tasks would I want a controller in my had over a good wireless keyboard and mouse/touchpad.

          The OG steam controller is great for HTPC use and the keyboard on it is very useful, while not as quick to type as a real keyboard.

          There is still no price for the framework WTK but it still would be higher cost with a good controller than the Steam Controller.

            I have one, albeit kind of a crappy one that takes forever to turn on after it goes to sleep.

            Right now I have an 8bitdo controller, a Micom mini trackball (which also kind of stinks, because the ball is so light that it jumps around a lot), and a wireless keyboard. Ideally the Steam Controller would allow me to replace all 3 at the same time, especially when gaming is what my Bazzite HTPC “console” is used for the most.
