Maybe its the games I have played but my last pc was connected to my tv exclusively for 5 years and never saw that UI issue. I definitely had issues that sometimes needed addressing, but that wasnt one. I thought it worked good enough, but yeah the keyboard and mouse was always annoying. I used the Logitech all in one which was pretty small and mouse pad on the right side from the couch. For the most part I used it more for video playback though so I was in Kodi a lot and I would then use my phone as the remote control.
The games are rarely the issue. It’s the OS in between the games, switching between games on Steam Big Picture and then to Jellyfin or similar for media, a web browser, and so on. You can do it with a wireless mouse or trackpad, but it’s a bit of a pain. SteamOS will presumably have a better UI for that.
Yeah I have 2 sound devices. And Windows chooses randomly every single time it resumes from Sleep, or Power Off.
My option if I don’t want to get a keyboard/mouse is to hold the Power button ot the controller for up to 10s and use the right analog to maneuver the mouse, and R1 to left click. There is no right -click best I can see.
If I hold the button for over 10s then the controller shuts off.
What a shit ass system. Who picks a key combo with the power button?
