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!

But you didn't directly plug it in, there was always some sort of adapter involved (thanks for the generous ports, Valve). There must have been something wrong with the adapters. Sometimes, you just have to flip USB-C over for it to work (thanks, Intel).
