SteamOS 3.5 has just been released to the Preview channel, and includes new features that are still being tested. You can opt into this in Settings > System > System Update Channel. Display The default color rendering for Steam Deck has been adjusted to emulate the sRGB color gamut, resulting in a slightly warmer and more vibrant color appearance. Added Settings -> Adjust Display Colors, to tune the display's Color Vibrancy and Color Temperature.
…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.
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.

I appreciated your original comment :)
