Corsair makes a small keyboard and mouse surface that you can rest on your knees while sitting on a couch, they call it the Lap Dog. It might be the best option at the moment for using a mouse from a couch.
- ok_dad 4y agoThe steam controller was awesome, to me, but a lot of people hated it. I think it was ahead of its time and I think they abandoned it too soon.
- likeclockwork 4y agoThe steam controller touchpad in trackball mode for coarse look(and quick spins) plus gyro for fine aim work really well. I think it works so well because both are direct like a mouse, unlikely a joystick which is good at setting a rate of change.
- goosedragons 4y agoSteam Deck is the refinement of this control scheme. Unfortunately they don't offer and nobody else does either a standalone controller with the layout. Gyros also work well for aiming with mouse-like precision. Especially with the "Flick Stick" layout. You can set this up with a PlayStation 3/4/5 or Nintendo Switch controller on PC. https://youtu.be/PJIqEX93vL8 https://youtu.be/PJIqEX93vL8
