Easiest way is by using remote play, you’ll want to change settings to enable audio on the host, and possibly lower stream bandwidth.
The guide also has another more in depth method.

“I can’t afford a new Xbox controller”
buys a steam deck

There’s a joke to be made here about people loving the Steam Deck but not the Steam Controller

The right stick not existing was a massive limitation with certain games.

It sometimes was but there were good alternatives for that. The much bigger problem imo was the lack of a dpad, using the trackpad for that was abysmal.

No, there were not.
There was literally no possible way to replicate something like a right stick spin move in a game like FIFA in a competent way.

The controller on the deck is actually different though.
It’d be good if they can eventually make a controller that is actually based on the steamdeck’s controller design.

The second method, though needing a bit more config is the superior one.
It forwards the actual USB device that is the controller on the deck, to the PC.

Can you provide some insight on how to do this?
- MentalEdge ( @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ) 2•1 year ago
More than the linked guide?

Oops my bad, I didn’t even see the link, thought OP posted a text post.

I’d love if there were ways to use the controller and have the steam deck acknowledge this mode. Maybe then allow the monitor on the deck to do other things in the meantime.
