I use a very portable touchpad + keyboard combo device via Bluetooth, a very compact version. Great question btw. See attachment image. That is the I used in the past.
You also have other products like the Logitech K400 Plus Touchpad Keyboard. Or even a steam controller if you want to lol. It’s up to you at the end.
That is also possible, but I like to keep my wireless keyboard always near me around the couch. So I don’t need my phone. And connect via wifi or Bluetooth blabla… Also typing on one of the above full-sized keyboards are sooo much better than a touch screen.
I remember being able to stream my media library from my pc to my Xbox 360 in 2007. Still can’t do shit like that on Playstation in 2024. They couldn’t even be bothered to give us themes for 2 gen’s or folders for a long time.
Those are just random gripes. There’s endless others. Sony is run by morons.
Yea I agree, also the stick drift issues and raising the prices of controllers.
I wanted a ps5 for when gta6 came out, but with these prices, sticking with PC and waiting for the pc release.
A $379 PELADN HA-4 mini PC has 16GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD a Ryzen 7 7840HS that easily beats a PS5 (it ties even a i9 11900K desktop in CPU benchmarks).
The APU on that thing runs most games on medium settings (like a PS5) at 60fps and the latest games as well as a non pro PS5. It’s a lot faster than a steam deck.
Who on earth needs a console for twice the price that performs worse or slightly better? If you are a tinkerer you can even upgrade that thing with an eGPU.
Radeon 780M with fast DDR5 and 8 core unlocked 5.1GHz CPU only has problems maintaining 30fps in Black Myth Wukong.
It runs circles around the non Pro PS5 in everything else. I wonder how the chinese did get it that cheap. I got one and almost can’t believe the value of that thing… The metal box is decent and temps are great. All that copper makes that thing quite heavy though.
$700, disc drive sold separately for $80. Wtf is Sony smoking. Even the vertical stand is an extra $30. It’s a good day to be a PC gamer.
The Blu Ray player is literally the only reason I use my PS5.

This is why I just bought a HTPC. And I run Linux on it. I can also play games and use it as media center/youtube/etc. No Playstation needed.

However, I hate track pads. So I recently moved to a trackball! Much better. I advice to use a trackball as well (not for gaming).
This one seems better… You get the point.
Ow… but you DO want to have the keyboard with trackball + scroll wheel hhaha
Or from your phone with KDE connect.

Other than the damned BluRay/DVD controls. Even IF you have the dedicated remote there is still a ton of basic functionality it is lacking.
Fuck Sony for so many large and small things.
