    same here! I’m a huge fan of MessagEase, a keyboard specifically made for the cell phone touch screen form factor. I think Valve used to dabble in something like this for the controller form factor, the ‘daisy’ or whatever? I think that should absolutely make a comeback, typing with touchpads is a short-term solution but with all the buttons and analogs on a modern controller, we should really have more keyboard options! Maybe something like each stick has 8 positions, and holding any combo of left-stick + right-stick gives one of 64 virtual ‘keys’, which you can click with the triggers, and the bumpers let you swap between different alphabets.
