    Thought I'd post this cool app that will let you control your computer with a gamepad. Looks pretty intuitive and good for the SteamBox or just an HTPC / game box.

    Worth the $2.99 they're asking for IMHO.

    I was checking this out on steam earlier. I don't really have a reason to use it, but that spiral keyboard UI looks like a great idea.

    It looks interesting. I like that it supports any controller using XInput (I don't have a wired Xbox controller but I have both PS3 and PS4 ones and the software to emulate a 360 controller). I don't know how practical it would be for me though. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse for my desktop.
