Steam Deck Keyboard and Mouse


Recommended Posts

It looks like the devs consider the Steam Deck as a console not a PC, afaik they chose to have only a controller-like setting. It's a shame they don't allow kbm in the settings because the Steam Deck controls can be configured in the same way as the Steam Controller, it's such a waste...

You can bypass this by running the linux version of dst. Properties > Compatibility > Check the box and select Steam Linux Runtime.

I still can't use the controls configuration like the Steam Controller because the mouse cursor hangs at the bottom of the screen but maybe it will work with real kbm.

My good sir, you are what you call ”the GOAT” in this day and age! Well done my good chap!

 

edit: in all seriousness, I’ve been trying to get this feature to work since I got my deck, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

When the game is launched, either on the icon in the task bar or at the top of the window: Right click > More (Actions) > Fullscreen

 

You can configure a permanent change but it's not convenient to undo that later without a real keyboard:

On the top of the window: Right click > More Actions > Configure Special Application Settings > Add Property... > Select Fullscreen > Check Yes (Apply Initially should already be selected) > Ok/Apply

 

I don't think it would be different if the Steam Deck were connected to another screen.

Hey, do any of you have a problem where you go into the caves and then out again and then the server disconnects? Because klei isn’t responding to my cries for help and it’s getting really irritating.

I don't have this issue but I host my world when I play on Steam Deck.

I tried to join a few servers (dedicated or not) and I was able to enter and to leave the caves without a problem. So maybe the issue is with your Windows PC. Try to use another Windows PC to join your server and see if there is the same problem than with the Steam Deck.

I read you tried uninstalling mods, you can also try to disable your antivirus but I'm not confident about that fix.

As a workaroud, you can try to host the server on the Steam Deck and join from your Windows PC.

Unfortunately no, I don't know how servers work. I only found one old thread someone mentioned a solution for their problem in the comments :

If I understood correctly, the person copied the file named modoverrides.lua from the master directory to the caves directory : Documents>Klei>[number]>Cluster_* (the number of the cluster depends on the position of your world in your ingame list). Do a backup of the file before overwriting it.

If it happens to solve the problem, then it's a mod issue.

The only other thing I would try is to completely uninstall the game and install it again without mods at first.

I hope you'll find a solution soon.

Thank you! I’ll try that, I’m also just hoping klei will add keyboard support to the actual steam deck version. THAT would be the best outcome.

unfortunately it did not fix the problem. I tried removing the mod overrides from the caves folder, but the problem isn't world specific, not only that, but it kept coming back. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game yesterday along with steam itself... No dice. I really appreciate the help. If anyone at Klei is listening to this conversation PLEASE GIVE US KEYBOARD SUPPORT FOR PROTON! It would mean the world to me (at least more than it already does).
