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.

    Actually yes.

    I worked on a crew building pole barns in Colorado. For anyone unaware you basically dig a bunch of holes, set wooden columns in them and pour concrete around them, then hang the rest of the structure off those columns.

    We had a dude that swore by the xbox 360 controller. We tried to get him to use a framing hammer to drive his nails but he would only use that 360 controller.

    We also did a lot of acid. If you see a weird barn in Colorado, look for the microsoft logo pressed into the wood next to the siding nails.
