Hello everyone!

Today I bought a mouse and keyboard for the couch to play some games which are not made for controllers. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to access the Steam menu once I am in-game. The desktop overlay combination does not seem to work (shift + tab) and I don't know what else to try as I don't have anything resembling the PlayStation or Xbox buttons like on my controllers.

Desktop mode itself is unfortunately unusable as Steam ignores the scaling configuration and text is unreadable small on the TV. I just bring this up, because I suspect the overlay combination would work here.

Does anyone know what keys to press in normal big picture esque mode to open any of the Steam menus while in-game?

Thank you!

Oh I didn't see the part about it being docked. I was just trying to help because I think a lot of people are scared to use the new features and the trackpads are actually amazing for games that require the precision of a mouse.
