When can I use my Steamdeck as a controller? I will literally settle for that level of stupidness if we can’t have controller v2.

Aside: happy to see that it has some form of back paddles - but If Steam will allow them to be configured is another issue I’ve encountered.

You can technically stream your game to your deck, and it will work as a controller. If you have the OLED deck you can use something like magicblack Decky plugin to turn off the screen while playing

What I really want is a Wii-U like experience lol

I've seen people replicate the Wii U experience with just a steam deck plugged into a monitor.
