Comment on Just got my steam deck lcd and need help with wake on bluetooth

An alternative some people do is to use a smart plug to turn power off/on to the deck’s dock (I’m assuming it’s docked if you’re using a controller).

There’s a bios setting to wake up the deck whenever it’s plugged in, so cycling power like that will wake up the deck.

Honestly I’m just going to treat it like my PS2. Just need to put my controller near the deck if I want to use it.

If valve is working on it (which it looks like they are) it’s a matter of if than when

  That’s an optimistic take. As a long-time LCD owner I don’t expect this to ever work flawlessly.

    My wife is aiming to get a Steam Machine when they become available. This steam deck is taking the place of it until then for me.
    
    It’s no worse then my older consoles and the alternatives from Ayn or Ambernic, and the facts it’s being consider and worked on is a positive.

    There is a decent chance the USB-connected charger/receiver for the Steam Controller 2 could wake a docked Steam Deck LCD, btw.

    No, the SteamOS and hardware teams are actually different groups of people to the game developers.

    Oh, the ones who made the last steam machine and controller and supported them for 10 minutes

Another option is to connect a Steam Controller (via its dongle, not via bluetooth). Pressing the controller steama button wakes it up always.

  Do you mean the Steam Controller or the Steam Controller?

    Obviously they meant the Steam Controller, not the Steam Controller.

    I have a steam controller, will it be able to use the same dongle as the steam controller? I imagine not, probably only works with the steam controller 😖
