If you want more than gaming (like YouTube), wouldn’t it make more sense to get a wireless keyboard with an integrated touchpad, like the recently announced Framework Wireless Touchpad Keyboard?
I have an OG Steam Controller as well as a Steam Deck and I never ever thought to myself that for HTPC tasks would I want a controller in my had over a good wireless keyboard and mouse/touchpad.

I have one, albeit kind of a crappy one that takes forever to turn on after it goes to sleep.
Right now I have an 8bitdo controller, a Micom mini trackball (which also kind of stinks, because the ball is so light that it jumps around a lot), and a wireless keyboard. Ideally the Steam Controller would allow me to replace all 3 at the same time, especially when gaming is what my Bazzite HTPC “console” is used for the most.

The OG steam controller is great for HTPC use and the keyboard on it is very useful, while not as quick to type as a real keyboard.
There is still no price for the framework WTK but it still would be higher cost with a good controller than the Steam Controller.
