issues i found when testing this:

  • all OS mappings for deck buttons break, pressing the steam button doesn't do anything
  • putting deck to sleep and waking it back up seems to override this again
  • seems like it's only responding to "steering wheel" motions, tilting the deck works but i can't get more than a tiny bit of movement vertically

oddities:

  • deck shows up as "steam deck" in controller menu when SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_ALLOW_STEAM_VIRTUAL_GAMEPAD is disabled, shows up as "steam deck controller" when it's enabled

more investigation into what's possible and how to provide a decent UX for this is needed before it's worth considering adding
