So I Just Bought Cyberpunk On GOG after watching edgerunners and am in need of help. I want to play on my deck but im not sure how?

I have Unifideck but it has serious issues for this game (It's horribly slow, audio issues when I move in menus, input delay, and anytime i use the steam menu it crops the screen). So im wondering if there's a better alternative to make it work Like maybe Heroic launcher or like specific settings.

the dpad on the deck is kinda mega annoying to use, and its especially annoying for deadlock because the items are mapped to the dpad

basically i just want to make it so holding the rb will let me use the dpad on my face buttons and then swap back after i let go

and i know like it should be something with the action sets, but i just cant find how to make a new one? theres alreadynthree and im scared to edit it in fear i might mess something up

idk im just very confused and any help would be appreciated

Made some adjuts to make metroid dread recomp project to run natively on linux, feel free to test it https://github.com/DaniSald/Metroid-Dread-Recomp

I got this idea for a screensaver that draws the Deck in wobbly lines. Claude Code wrote most of the code, I did the design and a lot of back and forth on the shapes, which were measured from Valve's CAD files.

Download, install steps and a browser demo on my website: karaman.is/blog/2026/10/doodle-deck

It should run on anything running SteamOS but I have only tested it on my Deck

Previously enjoyed games: Story: It Takes Two, Split Fiction, Brothers (need more tbh!), Roguelikes: Bunny & Steel, Dome Keeper, Vampire Survivors, Binding of Isaac Rebirth, Fighting and Action: (Don't recommend fighting, I have plenty 😭) Lethal League Blaze, Rivals of Aether, Stick Fight, Streets of Rage 4, TMNT, River City Girls

Preferred Genres: Story, Roguelike, Party, Something new (even racing if there are good ones)

Budget: Any amount. As long as it's fun

Other notes: Hi

Hey guys! I just wanted to share that I uploaded a new version (v.1.3.1) on GitHub.

This new release contain two new features:

• Now you are able to apply the cover to games in your library that came from your family members. It will be displayed a green ribbon on it to represent it came from Family Sharing.
• Also, you are now able to create custom colors for your cases. The default and supported one, regarding accessibility, will still be the original blue. However, you can now create basically any color you like.

I added some screenshots of the app to show how it is right now and also one of my own library to show the family sharing ribbon on Leaf it Alone.

As some people may know, I'm developing this in CachyOS and unfortunately my only Family Sharing member is my wife and she owns only 5 games, so those games were cached on my machine. If possible, I'd like the feedback of someone that uses Windows/macOS and have family members in their Steam Family that have multiple games. This is important because a big library from a family member may not be cached when you download the userdata.json file and then some covers may not be correctly applied.

If anyone tests this and give me a feedback saying it didn't work I'll start working immediately in a solution.

Thank you guys for using my tool!

I made a post yesterday about the loading user data issue and a few people who commented mentioned they use the Deck in desktop mode, and more than one person mentioned they use it for work, as do I.

It got me thinking, aside from the specific software needed for work - Libre office, Calculator, address book and possibly a second browser to keep work and personal stuff separate, what other software do you have on your Deck that isn't for Steam or gaming in general?

Hey r/SteamDeck! I’m the dev, and that’s me playing it in the video.

Yakko Tako is a vertical climber with a light roguelite touch (quick runs, unlocks between flights, no heavy grind). You’re Yakko, a servant turned into an ancient Japanese kite, flying up through hand-drawn ukiyo-e skies ruled by Tako, a grumpy octopus who wants you down.

• Hold to fly, tilt the Deck to steer (gyro, toggleable)
• Native SteamOS build, full controller support
• Short runs, leaderboards, achievements
• Seven Lucky Gods power-ups, new kites and worlds to unlock

$2.99, with a free demo.

Would love to hear how the gyro feels for you!

This is gonna sound niche/dumb, but do any of y'all have a recommendation for a bag that can carry 2 handhelds? The old Jsaux bag I used was perfect, a bit of a tight squeeze but it did it fine, I bought a replacement thinking it was the same, but the inner hard-lining took up too much space and barely fits my other stuff, let alone another handheld. Pics for reference

I was experiencing frequent Moonlight disconnects on my Steam Deck OLED, streaming from a PC running Apollo. Here’s what I tested.

Setup: 5 GHz Wi-Fi, 160 MHz channel, −58 dBm signal, negotiated link rates above 1 Gbps. The Deck’s Wi-Fi and PC are on different subnets, with working routing between them.

Method: 100 pings to the PC, 200 ms apart, explicitly bound to Wi-Fi using ping -n -I wlan0 -c 100 -i 0.2 -W 2 <PC_IP>. Ethernet remained connected during these ping tests, so binding the interface mattered.

Check the current setting with iw dev wlan0 get power_save. I temporarily disabled it with sudo iw dev wlan0 set power_save off. To restore it, use sudo iw dev wlan0 set power_save on. These commands don’t create a persistent configuration.

I then switched to Gaming Mode and played through Moonlight handheld, Wi-Fi only, for roughly 30 minutes while moving around the house. I noticed two brief connection warnings/instabilities at the farthest location, but no session disconnects, unlike before.

NetworkManager, wireless-service and kernel logs showed no Wi-Fi disconnects during that interval or apparent driver crashes. Power saving was still OFF after returning to Desktop Mode.

Caveat: this is a short before/after test, not proof of a universal fix. Logs also showed a switch from iwd in Desktop to wpa_supplicant around Gaming Mode, so the gaming session had another variable. The ping results support a power-saving effect on latency, but don’t establish the cause of every previous disconnect. mdev is RTT variation, not video-stream jitter.

Sharing in case this gives others with similar Moonlight issues something concrete to check.

Anybody interested in joining up together in a guild made up of Steam Deck users (at least to start) when WOW Forever drops? I only thought of this because of some of the bugginess in socializing and in playing WOW in general on a Steam Deck and how it could make it difficult to interact with others that aren’t having those issues. Call it a non-try hard guild.

Any interest/takers?

Following my guide on how to install (Native Local) Gamepass on the Steam Deck, I followed up on this with a few tests I've made (comparing the same game through Game Pass vs. SteamOS, Sleep Mode, Cloud Saves, Achievements and more). If you got any questions feel free to ask!

Usually would get about 30-45 fps however since I updated it’s been down to 20-30. Anyone else experiencing similar performance?

This started today and it seemed to happen randomly but it is not stopping at all and continues to just send me this notification and ive tried various things through terminal but nothing has worked, does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Is it over and I have to repair the stick

I'm pretty sure the left side of my deck got wet with tea and long story short it'll work fine for two minutes and then slowly degrade to this but if I wait 10 mins it works fine for another few minutes so is it over or Is there any other cheap things I could to to get it to stop doing this

It's been stuck like this for about 5 minutes. I tried turning it on and off again multiple times but it's not working. What do I do😭

I'm going to be very specific.

I think the Deck is way big to throw in a backpack. I do have a generously big backpack, but it gets crowded when I put the Deck in, my noise cancelling headphones and other stuff. Truth be told, last two times I traveled with the Deck, or its case, I did not use it as much. Fun fact: I went on a trip to Disney for my birthday and when I got to the airport to play while we waited for the flight, the deck was not on its case. I had left it at home. I did use the case to put things in there that I wanted not to fold, like stickers.

Anyway. I'm wondering if any of you have traveled with a backpack, or a bag, not a carry on, and the deck on a case by hand. Had issues with the airline? At check in? I have a good working, curated and set up instance of Emudeck, which is what I play the most, along with other games, on the Deck. I am considering just getting a Miyoo or a Trimui and leaving the deck behind. But it works great, the Deck, and on a pinch I can use it as a real computer.

I'd have to get a better case though. I have the one that comes with it. Jsaux or Spigen, maybe. What do you think?

Idk why but it happens

For some reason, the VERY left-most edge of the right trackpad does not want to register any movement unlike anywhere else. I dont believe this is a hardware issue as this ONLY happens whenever im moving the cursor, be it during desktop mode or during a game. Whenever im using the keyboard or performing a calibration the entire trackpad works fine and i dont know what is causing this to happen ONLY in mouse mode and nowhere else

For a while now, my Steam Deck has been constantly drifting to the left; at first, it would stop if I pressed the trackpad to the left, but now it won't stop at all.

I tried disabling the trackpad, but even with it disabled, it continues to function as if it hadn't been disabled.

I formatting it via the settings to see if it was a software issue, but it’s still the same. I’m thinking about opening up the Steam Deck to clean it, but I wanted to see if anyone else has gone through this or has any theories. Also, keys 5 and 14 in the mapping are constantly being triggered. If anyone knows how to disable the "..." button and the trackpad from the desktop mode, I’d appreciate it—since that doesn't seem to work in the regular settings.
