If you want more than gaming (like YouTube), wouldn't it make more sense to get a wireless keyboard with an integrated touchpad

I have one, albeit kind of a crappy one that takes forever to turn on after it goes to sleep.

Right now I have an 8bitdo controller, a Micom mini trackball (which also kind of stinks, because the ball is so light that it jumps around a lot), and a wireless keyboard. Ideally the Steam Controller would allow me to replace all 3 at the same time, especially when gaming is what my Bazzite HTPC "console" is used for the most.
