…you’re not actually serious with that comment are you?
You don’t think I also have a bluetooth keyboard?
Obviously and of course I have a bluetooth keyboard. and a portable monitor. and the hub.
That’s not the point.
If their keyboard wasn’t utter garbage, I could go completely without any of the above. Its so close to being everything I need, but the keyboard in its current state is a deal breaker. Instead of it being an option, I actually need a bt keyboard.
They could do something like t9 or some of the other key pad style key boards from the mid 2000’s. I dont want to tap the screen.
I want to be able to quickly use the controller to type. Its a broken experience as it currently stands.
I was just trying to be helpful. Some people might not know you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the device.
I don’t know of any system that does a better job of typing with a controller than the Steam Deck with the touch pads. Granted, I’m not a console gamer so I have no idea what typing on the current gen Xbox or PlayStation is like, but I can’t imagine it’s better than the Steam Deck.

Phones with number pads right at the beginning of the smart phone era had a number of good solutions that were surprisingly effective for typing. We’ve got so many buttons to work with on the steam deck.
Have you tried using the touch pads with it? I found it to be a decent enough experience. I’m not going to type a novel with it, but it’s good for some web browsing if I’m doing some adminy on desktop. Unsure of your usecase.
Yep. Its a bit better, but still a shit keyboard. It seems like they went through great effort to not take advantage of the fact they ahve a crap ton of buttons they could be using.
