I dunno about other people but I play docked a lot, and typing with a controller is near unbearable sometimes. I specifically had this thought because I was playing webfishing from my couch and thought it would be nice if I could pull out my phone and open the steam app, or maybe they could make some kind of steam deck companion app for this and other features maybe, to quickly type a message or just make typing easier. I dunno if this would be difficult to implement or even possible but I think it would be neat.
Get yourself an HTPC keyboard with a built in trackpad. The Logitech K400 is a good choice.
great keyboard. i have it myself and the only few things i hate are the signal strength being…meh, the shape of it being not quite comfortable, as well as the mushiness of the keys.
