Hello,

Does anyone have any recommendations on a keyboard and mouse they use with the deck? I love the control scheme of the deck but some games just require a keyboard and mouse to be more enjoyable.

I got a laptray for a laptop which should be big enough. Always welcome any suggestions on those as well.

Thanks!

Find an old IBM model M at a garage sale, or craigslist. Use it until the end of time.

How would you plug it in to the steamdeck?

[–] murph@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 day ago

I plug my steamdeck into a USB dock, (for ethernet, video , etc) which has the Model M with a USB adapter.

I don't know if there are direct USB-C to PS/2 adapters, but assuming not: USB-C to USB-A adapter followed by USB-A to PS/2.
