Could you build this?
Partial A gamepad-navigable web UI launcher is easy, but deep Windows OS integration (intercepting controller inputs, killing Explorer shells, handling focus switching and direct process hooks) is technically demanding.
What it would actually take: The architecture would combine a frontend UI (Electron/WPF) with low-level Windows APIs (C++ / Win32 / XInput) to handle gamepad focus across games, monitor process lifecycles, and seamlessly transition displays. The hard parts involve reliable controller interception during game launches and handling DRM-wrapped game processes (Steam, Xbox Game Pass) safely.
