TV remotes are worse often, they add a bit of delay, worse buttons, and a 50% chance of any given input not being registered
At least in a gamepad the directional buttons are consistent.
I have a STB where text input is solely via the D-pad plus color buttons for Shift/Num/Backspace/Confirm. Pretty normal except the number pad has the telephone-style alphabet printed, which I would very much prefer.

I did this to my boss once. I noticed he was using one of those ghastly low-throw 'boards that show up with all the cheap entry level Dells and Amazon refurbished pieces of shit, and unlike on a real keyboard the profile is the same on all of the keys on those, regardless of which row they're on.
So I rearranged all of his letters into alphabetical order. For good measure, I created a custom keyboard "language" layout that actually make it type that way, too. He put up with it for nearly an entire day before giving up and asking me for a different keyboard.
Actually...
I just had a poke around in the supply room. I still have it:
Real keyboards can also have the same profile on keys my man. You have KAM, XDA and DSA.

Them as are amused by the fan directed cursor may also enjoy Bubble Ghost, which came out on several retro platforms including the Game Boy.
Lmao, I got to hall 28, it's a bit ASMR when the volume is down low, except for the buzzer at the end sometimes. I like having to figure out how the ghost might get it.

I'm pissed that it worked better in 2019 vs 2025. (At least for Google's voice recognition)
Honestly, I kind of want the old assistant back. I don't find Gemini any more useful for my use cases. It feels dumber sometimes.

Hell is just real life but someone keeps eating nature valley bars in your bed.

And there's a lag..
Yes, changing between 1-4s

Don't forget the endless TFA challenges, which will either never arrive, will arrive after the code is expired, or the code just won't work.

They're new credentials every time and the passwords are 32char randomized strings that include equal amounts of lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and special characters.

That's the upper level. On the lower level you use a remote control, and there's tons of input lag.

AND ghost clicks. And just enough time of input lag to make you click again, just to see the key being pressed twice, and now you have to go to the backspace button

No, it is just endlessly looking up and trying to get a movie to play on Paramount+

It blows my mind that in many cases I can't use my voice to enter text in fucking 2025.
as someone with an accent, may I beat you up with a 1997 modem for asking for more voice input?
those things are a nightmare.

"@" and "." need to be accessed by a separate punctuation page.

I vote the PS3 Onscren Keyboard.
Other systems like the PSP and Xbox are actually usable in a way. But the PS3 is hateful. Spaces when you don’t want them. Unintuitive button layout and use. Laggy interface. It has it all.

and I/l and 0/O are nearly indistinguishable.

The keyboard is also neither ABC or QWERTY. It completely randomizes with every character selected and there is no backspace.

The first level of the game is called “input a 3000 word essay on why you are in hell”
Any spelling mistakes will require a full do over.
Depending on your crime the return/erase button may be disabled.

Question: Do I have a choice on what controller I use?
For some reason, I imagined the controller scheme of a Wii and using the pointer controls to type each letter

Depends whether we talkin predictive T9 or not
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I forgot that was a thing. Since we are talking about passwords, predictive T9 would be truly evil.
On real world cases even predictive T9 beats typing with the arrow keys on a alphabetically order virtual keyboard with a remote's arrow keys.
