Nah, stick to the built-in controls. The whole point of the Steam Deck is its portability and convenience. Adding a keyboard and mouse just complicates things.

Yep, you sure can! The Steam Deck supports using a keyboard and mouse just like any PC would. Just plug 'em in via the USB-C port or connect them wirelessly with Bluetooth, and you're good to go. It's a handy feature for those games that just feel better with the old keyboard-mouse combo.

Actually, using a keyboard and mouse on the Steam Deck transforms it into a mini PC gaming setup. I've done it myself for strategy games and trust me, it's a game-changer!
