While it is wired, I really enjoy the Elgato Stream Deck Plus for my couch setup.

Its an awesome way to automate PC tasks like joining or leaving discord channels, muting your mic, and easily being able to manage your audio for games, chat, etc.

Can you do a preview? Like showing how it looks when you turn on the PC and use it?

PS five controllers work via Bluetooth and direct connection

I thought Xbox controllers are natively supported on windows now? What does that Xbox adapter do exactly 🤔

You can by pass the start login of windows, let me look for it, I will post it later.

Does the USB dongle allow the controller to wake from sleep? im using a direct bluetooth connection to the Mobo and i am unable to use the controller to wake the PC. I have had to use a WAL app on phone which is not great. I have used various bluetooth adapters also with the USB config but they havent worked either.

It wil also help to have a sort of "container" for all major PC gaming stores and launchers (Steam, Epic, Xbox, GOG, etc etc) that could automatically startup in Picture Mode, and from there the user could jump between each launcher flawlessy.
For example, something similar is available on Legion GO, where Legion Space provides accessibility to all installed games, regardless of which launcher they belong to.

xbox series controllers do not require the dongle. neither do ps5 controllers bluetooth. Whar r u talking about? :D:D

I don't see explained here how you can actually cold boot a PC using just a controller, in the same way that you normally do with console since two gens ago.
Is there a way? Any hardware or software requirement?
