I just gave up and attached a small form factor PC to my TV.
What are you using for control? I wouldn't mind scrapping my Roku for something a little more robust but using a mouse and keyboard on my home television seems kind of ...awful.
I picked up a Logitech K400, it's working well enough for now. I'm still evaluating the best use cases and access methods for everything but it's good enough for when I need to just toss a browser up on my screen. Much more convenient than going to my PC in another room to cast a tab; I got tired of getting off the couch just b/c a stream needs to be refreshed.
Thanks for the response
Yeah, I have one of those at work on a central presentation machine. It does ok
Maybe my problem is more getting away from windows and moving to kodi or something. Trying to run a regular desktop GUI from across the room is just an uncomfortable thing.
FWIW I'm dealing with that issue, too. You can size things up and make it work okay but it's not an amazing experience. I'm also looking at an alternative UI since the vast majority of what I want it for is browser based. I'm exploring some flavors of linux, but I have yet to encounter something that gives me the TV-like interface with PC functionality behind the scenes.
A Trackball is a lot better than a mouse.
That said, I haven't found anything beats both.
They make mini keyboard/trackball things but they're all such low quality crap.
Steam Deck ftw.
It is my everything. Seriously.
