Comment on New rumor suggests Valve's Steam Deck 2 is much further away than we thought

  This one I’m excited for. A Steam Machine would be great, and my biggest gripe with controller play on my desktop is the missing trackpads mean Steam Input didn’t work. There are games that I choose to stream to/play on my Deck over using my 1440p 32" screen on my gaming rig because I don’t have Steam Input on my desktop.

    You know there’s a funny workaround here - stream the game from your PC to the Deck over Steam Remote Play while keeping that PC monitor on, and then use the Steam Deck only as a controller while looking at the big screen. It will add a bit of latency to controls, but it’s surprisingly not bad

    What do you mean? steam input works as long as you have steam, your controller doesn’t matter unless it’s a really really rare unsupported controller

      I mean using the Track Pads, often for things like radial menus. A lot of PC games need more inputs than exist on a controller.
