  • make the big picture ui not lag, swtch, ps4, 3ds, 360 did not have laggy menus at launch (but got worse over time)

  • make the on screen keyboard have a ctrl key

  • release a steam controller 2, desktop mode from the couch is nearly impossible to navigade with a controller if they want the htpc market

  1. I agree. I dont know what they've done behind the scenes, but it seems like every major update to the steam software makes it slower, less responsive, and a worse experience. I really wish we had the steam we had 5-6 years ago, performance wise. It was lightning fast compared to what we have today.

  2. Something like a DualSense 5 would solve that problem. I'm not saying buy a DS5, cause its pants on head stupid expensive, but a controller like a DS5 that has a built in touch pad that acts as a mouse in desktop mode definitely makes getting around and interacting easier.
