Wondering if anyone has experimented with using controllers (PS/xbox/other) to do anything other than gaming ?

The Steam Deck and Steam controller have touchpads which make them totally usable as a mouse for normal PC usage like web browsing

DualShock 4 and DualSense touch pads do this too! They even support multi touch so you can do left/right/middle click by using multiple fingers.

Hell, not optimal by any means but I even had a serviceable for light usage setup using analog sticks and a mapping program before Steam Input came out. Much better with the trackpads
