And as an extension - how do I change my controller layout while in game mode? I understand I can press the Steam button and then use my trackpad as a mouse, but I’d rather it just permanently behave as a mouse in game mode.

Basically I’d like to use the trackpads as mouse/scroll while browsing my library in Game Mode.

Thank you!

    I’ve been using mouse and keyboard in gaming mode on nobara Linux and I find the home, end, page up & down and the arrow keys as the most consistent way to navigate the game library. Mouse scroll is just so buggy and when the mouse “goes to sleep” as I call it I find it annoying.

    I haven’t tested this, but game mode I understand is basically equivalent to big picture mode. So perhaps going to the desktop and setting up your preferences for BPM could work?

        So unfortunately either I couldn’t find the option or what I thought was the option didn’t have any effect in game mode :/

          Finally got around to tinkering and sorry, no luck here either. I thought BPM had it’s own controller setting, but it seems like everything just maps to the desktop control scheme on the deck. Have to agree with the top comment I don’t think this is currently possible
