same here! I'm a huge fan of MessagEase, a keyboard specifically made for the cell phone touch screen form factor. I think Valve used to dabble in something like this for the controller form factor, the 'daisy' or whatever? I think that should absolutely make a comeback, typing with touchpads is a short-term solution but with all the buttons and analogs on a modern controller, we should really have more keyboard options! Maybe something like each stick has 8 positions, and holding any combo of left-stick + right-stick gives one of 64 virtual 'keys', which you can click with the triggers, and the bumpers let you swap between different alphabets.

yeah some are really good. if it has a keyboard that was functional it would literally be a mobile PC
