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.
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.
I remember being able to stream my media library from my pc to my Xbox 360 in 2007. Still can’t do shit like that on Playstation in 2024. They couldn’t even be bothered to give us themes for 2 gen’s or folders for a long time.
Those are just random gripes. There’s endless others. Sony is run by morons.
I bought it because partner said we need a disk player. It is a media center that can play video games lol
It is a great media center IMHO my only complaint it won’t play flac music when streaming … Fuck u Sony 🤡
This is why I just bought a HTPC. And I run Linux on it. I can also play games and use it as media center/youtube/etc. No Playstation needed.
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?

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.
Ow… but you DO want to have the keyboard with trackball + scroll wheel hhaha
Or from your phone with KDE connect.

Other than the damned BluRay/DVD controls. Even IF you have the dedicated remote there is still a ton of basic functionality it is lacking.
Fuck Sony for so many large and small things.
