So I switch between playing games from my desk and my couch. I have a long HDMI cable that runs from my desktop to my tv. before I would use a bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse when playing from the couch with a little table or with a xbox 360 controller.
recently we had a baby and she sleeps a bit less now but still for a few hours at a time during the day. now I feed her and she will fall asleep on me so sometimes I dont really want to move much after she falls asleep but I got pretty into farthest frontier which needs a keyboard and mouse to play. but with baby on my chest I cant really use the desk and a keyboard and mouse is kind of tough to use, the mouse likes to slide around which scrolls the view
I started looking up solutions and ended up finding the elecom relacon trackball mouse
I just got it today and was playing a bit of elder scrolls oblivion with it and it works pretty well
on my left hand I am using my quefrency split keyboard half
which isnt bad but then I found the Azeron cyborg after going down a rabbit hole on gaming keypads like the razer tartarus and logitech g13. I watched a few youtube videos and the idea of the thumb stick sounded very good for movement so I was sold on the azeron. Im excited to try it and believe that is the best to use for my left hand.
I found a promising looking gyro mouse from some guys but there hasnt been any updates on the project
I would like somthing like a joycon mixed with a steam touch controller but i cant find anything. is anyone using any strange gaming methods like this? that has found something that works well
Difficult for me to recommend since they're discontinued and likely pricey, but I still use a Steam Controller daily and find that with thorough bindings it can handle a surprising amount of PC only games, so I'd personally recommend that if it can be had at a fair price.
Steam controller is fantastic, and unfortunately there's really nothing else like it. I normally use a Logitech trackball, so the ability to use a touchpad like a trackball works well for me. I can't think of any other controllers that use this instead of analog sticks.
I've actually stockpiled a few spares because I'm not sure what I would use as a replacement.
Same, I used one forever, wore the joystick down to the hard plastic underneath and it eventually ceased to turn on, I ended up incredibly lucky, some random redditor said he bought one that he never used and actually sent it to me free of charge and I still randomly go on steam and just thank the guy for letting me continue to use this controller.
I really hope they eventually release another or something
Do they make like TouchPad protectors that you can swap out?
I do believe there are touch pad covers you can get, for me though the joystick is what wore down, so I have an extra rubber cap over the top now
