What it does
Built so you never walk over to the desk.
Most couch apps stop once your game starts. Loungepad keeps going: your controller runs the whole PC, not just the menu. Pick any screen to see it up close.
01
Everything a console does.
Like a console
02
And it’s still your PC.
Still a PC
03
And a few things no console will.
What a console can’t doControllers
Any controller. Every button drawn as yours.
Xbox, PlayStation and Switch Pro controllers all work, and so do a keyboard and mouse. The buttons on screen always match the controller in your hands — pick up a PlayStation controller and the green A becomes a cross.
Xbox
The buttons, as they look on this controller
Plug in a controller and press any button: this page will show its buttons, and you can browse it from the couch.

The left stick is the mouse.Slow and precise near the centre, fast when you push all the way. Set the speed to suit you.
Left and right click.Click anything in Windows. The right stick scrolls.
Xbox button: the Power Wheel.Tap it from anywhere, even mid-game, to switch windows, close what's stuck or go to sleep. Hold it to come back to Loungepad.

The pointer gets out of the way.Use the D-pad and the pointer hides. Move the stick and it's back.
Any button, any shortcut.Give an app's shortcut a button of its own — Y for a new browser tab, say.
The touchpad works like a laptop's.Tap to click, two fingers to scroll, pinch to zoom.
Arrow keys move.A keyboard and mouse work too, and the mouse can click anything.
Enter selects, Esc goes back.Right-click a game to open its menu.
X and Y are just X and Y.The buttons on screen turn into keys the moment you start typing.
