I've been playing from the couch for a few years now.

I've got a DS4 and DualSense which I use via Bluetooth for games with support. Most times I'll have Xbox controller icons, but I don't care about that.

I have a Steam Controller that I use for most things that don't have support, especially strategy games. That right pad is a beautiful mouse replacement. It's also fantastic for couch flight simming since you can use the grip buttons to change action sets.

Of course I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but I find myself using them for gaming very, very rarely.
