I would like to know if it is possible to use an external controller instead of using the mouse/keyboard in desktop mode on Steam Deck?

Using SteamInput yeah, I’m pretty sure

It basically works the same as the Deck’s controls itself, you’d just have to configure it in Steam. Not sure if it would have a default config or not though
