unusably
Not fit for purpose
In a way that makes something impossible to use effectively.
Software might run unusably slow, a keyboard might be unusably sticky, or a room might be unusably cramped.
The word emphasizes that something fails to meet the minimum threshold for practical function: The app was unusably buggy at launch.
