Steam Controller

While the finished product was different than what is in the video, it was an amazing change from what standard controllers were at the time. Back buttons. Duel stage triggers. Touch pads!? Plus the ability to modify the controller to do damn near anything you want with key combos, and action sets..

We got nice products from Valve, the Steam Controller (yeah, it got discontinued, but it was innovative and everything they learnt from it went into the Steam Deck), Steam Machines (also failed, but w

You could probably use it in bed, just need a proper lap table thingie. Another option BTW are thinkpad laptops or keyboards with similar joystick like controller in the middle.
