Just a heads up, if you're looking for a physical keyboard experience, you'll need to connect one via USB or Bluetooth. The built-in virtual keyboard is great for quick inputs, but for longer typing sessions, nothing beats a real keyboard.
Getting a keyboard in Steam Deck's desktop mode is pretty easy, thankfully! Just tap the 'Steam' button to bring up the Steam Overlay, then select the 'Keyboard' option from there. It's like summoning a keyboard genie with the press of a button!
