  Not great. I use an Aliexpress pocket sized usb keyboard to navigate to a playlist that my family can add to from their devices. Then we just let that playlist roll.

  I use my steamdeck in a docking station with extra USB ports.
  You can get a FLIRC or equivalent IR receiver to navigate with an old/universal remote or USB keyboard.

  I load PLEX-HTPC as a non-steam game.

  I also loaded Firefox for Youtube with support for uBlock and other extensions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you use the back buttons for?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  YMMV, I treat it on demand, but in most cases it’s unused.

  Civ: End turn

  Driving games: Shift paddle

  It’s like the 4th mouse button. Sometimes you don’t realize how much you might enjoy having it mapped.

  PORTAL

  Civ VI and Inscryption required me to use the pads. Basically everything else is sticks.

  I am absolutely some of that NMS time. I just run it at default, and I get about an hour. Which is great, because after that I really should take a break.
