There are both pros and cons to either, PC gaming for starters is expensive considering today's economic landscape considering handheld PC's a cheaper alternative. Console gaming (Switch, XBOX, PS) cost less than a full desktop PC (let alone a gaming laptop), there are consoles for indoor use only (PS5) and portable / hybrid (like the Switch). Each format has exclusive titles.

Which small mechanical keyboard do you use? I just got a steam machine and trying to figure a way to mouse and keeb on the couch. I have a small split keyboard that's fine, and a wireless mouse and a little lap desk. It's all fine, works well for Internet browsing and watching downloaded media on the TV. But I have yet to game with the setup as I find myself naturally choosing games that use the controller. I'd love to play BG 3 or seven days to die in the living room, but... Too many radials make my ADHD head spin.

    It's a kisnt kn85. It's not tiny, but it's compact enough to comfortably sit on my knee. 13 inches, plus a tad

    Keys are gentle, but responsive; just enough clack to be pleasant. As a gaming keyboard, I like it better than my Logitech wireless, or my wired Microsoft natural ergo. As a general typing keyboard, well it's my favorite non ergonomic because the key response really is perfect for my hands. I tend to prefer full size for serious writing, and need an ergonomic if I'm going to be at it for extended times (like editing a book), but for comfy typing around the house? Bang on.

    I feel you with radials getting a tad overwhelming. I cope well, and I'm not diagnosed, but it's easy to get lost, especially since bg3 in particular likes to occasionally move things around. I've put in a few thousand hours on that game, and I still get a little frustrated running a wizard or cleric. Other casters, I tend to use a more limited range of spells, so I can just ignore anything past the first two radials.
