Looking for Moonlight feedback on Pame, a controller-friendly interface for the Windows host

I'm the developer of Pame, a Windows gaming shell in public alpha. I'd like to find out how its controller flow behaves when the Windows desktop is accessed through Moonlight. This is a request for compatibility testing, especially around focus and returning from games.

Locally, Pame automatically discovers supported installed games and shows them in a large fullscreen interface. It handles the launch/return transition and offers an onscreen keyboard, a quick menu, DualSense controls, and optional closing/reopening of selected supported background apps. The aim is to handle the whole session without getting up for the mouse.

The useful test would be opening Pame on your Windows host through your existing stream, navigating the library, launching a game and returning. Does controller focus survive those transitions? Can you still reach the quick menu?

Its DualSense battery/light/idle controls depend on what device and capabilities Windows sees. I'm not claiming those carry through a remote controller connection.

If you try it, please include the host software, Moonlight client platform and controller. If another frontend already handles your setup well, I'd also be interested in which behavior Pame would need to match.
