Comment on I'm worried that the next stable client update will break remote play.
yoyolll@lemmy.world 4 months agoIs there still an advantage to doing it this way after the desktop Big Picture update? Is it different than using the controller configuration menu on the host PC?

If you just launch steam big picture through moonlight and use the host client’s steam configuration you’d just be configuring an emulated Xbox controller. (which might be fine for your use case) you’d lose out on all the steam deck specific bells and whistles. No grip buttons or touch pads. If you use moondeck you keep all of the steam decks funtionaitly.

Oh cool, I didn’t realize that was possible. That would be a great reason to use the plugin. I never really play non controller supported games with the Deck, so I just have the track pads set to mouse and scroll for the occasional desktop task on the host and the paddles set to Moonlight shortcuts.
