i tried this using PC as media center but my teevee remote did not work with it like it does with PS.

what are you using to control the HTPC? mouse and keyboard?

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.

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.

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 month ago

Ow.. but you DO want to have the keyboard with trackball + scroll wheel hhaha

Or from your phone with KDE connect.

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.
