Haters gonna hate.
Got a laptop, use it for laptop shit. Got a Steamdeck, rarely need to do heavy typing on it, but when modding games I have to connect a keyboard and mouse to do so efficiently. Saw this solution and thought "hell yeah, great idea!". Bringing an easy to store/portable keyboard around for occasional use is way better than bringing a laptop and controller around when all you want to do is some gaming.
I'm not hating, just seems silly to get a portable gaming system to use kb+m when a laptop could do so much more for similar size/weight/cost.
I guess it all seems arbitrary to someone who could barely afford a used PS4 ππ
I could see the utility of this for certain games where you need to type, but only for a minute
Same energy
Damn I have to consider those. Using the terminal with the screen keyboard is pain due to missing keys
missing keys
that's the biggest war crime that valve has committed with the deck and no idea how they think it's acceptable
In case you didnβt know, you can install a different onscreen keyboard from Discovery. Itβd be nice if the default keyboard didnβt lack those fundamental features, though.
