Oh, it's super easy and kinda cool! The Steam Deck has a virtual on-screen keyboard that pops up whenever you need to type something. But if you're like me and prefer physical keys, you can just plug in any USB keyboard or connect a Bluetooth keyboard. Go to the settings, find the Bluetooth devices option, and pair your keyboard. It’s like giving your Steam Deck a mini PC transformation!
