    When can I use my Steamdeck as a controller? I will literally settle for that level of stupidness if we can’t have controller v2.

    Aside: happy to see that it has some form of back paddles - but If Steam will allow them to be configured is another issue I’ve encountered.

      Both the back paddles and gyro are things that are great, and every gamepad should have them, but there’s almost no compatibility with anything on PC.

      Most I’ve ever seen is being able to change a button to a back paddle. Not even remapping a key, just a face or shoulder button. I swap it with the stick press buttons (L&R3). But it’d be great to be able to actually remap keys.

      You can technically stream your game to your deck, and it will work as a controller. If you have the OLED deck you can use something like magicblack Decky plugin to turn off the screen while playing
