Anyone else control the computer with a gamepad instead of a mouse?
It takes twice as long to do anything but man does it feel comfy shitposting from bed

Used to, then i got an old TKL with a trackpoint.
Now i just use my laptop in bed instead of my desktop.
got a Steam controller from a friend, very cumbersome, wouldn't recommend
get yourself a comfy chair

>I'm not the only one
Is pic related the one you use? I'm trying to use a ds3 right now with Ubuntu, only works with steam big picture rn and I can't get it to stay awake. On another note, does anyone know the name of the xubuntu brightness control thingy? It had a "presentation mode" to keep it awake while I watched movies or played games.

I have keyboard with touchpad.
Although I must say I would rather have something smaller. Can I just slap blackberry keyboard on the back of Apple trackpad?

i have the exact same gamepad
be careful with this area of the cable because it can wear off over time or if you dont handle it with care
i used to use JoyToKey to play any game or shooter with gamepad
>set right stick to mouse
>left stick or DPAD to WASD
>right trigger left click
>left trigger right click
it was pretty fun in day of defeat online and some other games
highly recommend trying JoyToKey if you want to give your gamepad more use, i could even lay in bed and use it from there browsing youtube with an USB extender

I do not control OS with game pad but I do use that controller in the pic you posted though for some of my gaming on PC. Great controller in my opinion. Cheap too.

Yes yes, I too recommend the JoyToKey software, it is great and make my life easier at the moment of interact with my personal computer. We are totally normal white americans, no paid marketing is involved in my comment.
