This is the best answer. I learned to use gyro+trackpad of my OG Steam controller this way.

Balatro or any game with a mouse cursor. Learn to use the right track pad to use the mouse, and get comfortable configuring the left track pad to act as a radial menu to manage hot keys.

Mind sharing your layout because i find the default onscreen keyboard painful for quick typing

I was half kidding... But I remember watching someone playing that game simply mapping 2 virtual menus of 16 buttons each with the whole keyboard mapped.

Returnal. Just made a whole video about it, don't want to self promote but it shouldn't be too hard to find
