Yeah, sometimes when I feel really lazy I get my controller out and launch up big picture mode.
Don't actually know why exactly, but I guess it must be something like "less buttons == less thinking".
Also it limits the amount of games I can choose from, so I come to a decision much faster :D.

No, not without a controller.
But i do use it with my controller all the time ;)

Not sure why you added the "Without a controller?" part, most PC gamers do have one.

So you do wonder whether or not there are people that use it with Mouse and Keyboard?
Well now i'm curious about that too, can't imagine there are people like that, but who knows.

I'm not sure why he added the "On PC?" part, but I guess that he wanted to say on your PC's monitor at your desk.

I thought he was implying that people would normally use a to Steam Big Picture dedicated machine rather than their normal PC, if they use it at all.

Normally when i use Pig Picture i just turn the Monitor 180° and sit on the couch, so using Keyboard and Mouse isn't really an Option(What it kinda looks like, lol), but sometimes i do use Big Picture even while sitting on the Chair just because it's easier to do everything with a controller when i already started using it.

Edit, when i'm saying Chair, i mean armchair.
It's a weird thing to sit on in front of Desk and PC, i know, but that's how it is :D

I used to but it got buggier in one of the Steam updates so I just stopped. I might start using it again if it's fixed. I like the fluidity of it and it usually has less errors and is faster than the Steam client. There's no point in using it to quickly launch a game unless you're using a controller, but it's a nicer browsing experience.

I don't use a controller so no, but it I like the interface.

It doesn't work on win XP. Seems to be pointless anyway since I don't have and don't need a TV with my great monitor.

I've noticed Alienware have been advertising one of their PCs as a console/pc by setting it up like a console, on big picture with a tv and controller, I guess to try and appeal to console gamers, which I think is a really clever idea. Some people do seem to be using it in this way as well, with their own pcs, I've seen quite a few comments saying so.

If I had a big TV (which I will have when I move from home, I'll burn my PC screen and use the TV instead) then I would definately use it, it's 1000X more beautiful then the regular interface, but of course it's adapted to controller use, and it's illogical to use it with a keyboard.

Only when I'm lazy to get out of bed, I just start it up, then I can browse steam and start my games with my controller directly from bed :D

I have my PC hooked up to my TV, so I don't see the point.
