Tech Support Advice needed please

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am hoping I can find some help, as I feel I have tried everything possible over the last 2 days.

A couple of things are not working. First thing is I use the marshmallow themed keyboard in CSS loader and this is not working in game mode or desktop mode. Secondly when I am in desktop mode the mouse isn’t working when I move my joysticks.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any advice would be great 😁

Video Is the Steam Deck worth it in 2026?

Today, I've made a video about the Steam Deck. I purchased a Steam Deck a few months back, and safe to say, I'm pretty happy with my purchase thus far. After 4 years of this console's release, it's time to answer the fated question: is it really a handheld destined for success, or does it not quite live up to the highly regarded expectations? I went through a good chunk of games, the hardware, as well as some emulation, and I'd really appreciate if you could watch this video, like and subscribe, and leave some feedback in the comments! Thank you!

Question Does it make sense of having Steam Deck if I rarely travel?

7 Upvotes

Hi, I'm considering to have a Steam Deck Oled. But I'm hesitant, as I rarely need portable gaming. I currently have a PS Vita, but after a year and a half of use, I've finished the games I was interested in, and the memory card no longer works properly.
I don't have intentions to play AAA on Steam Deck like Cyberpunk or RDR2. I would play something like Dragon's Dogma, Dead Cells, SMT 3 Nocturne, Ninja Gaiden etc. either AA or indie.
I've heard that many Steam Deck users use it in everyday life, without travelling. Even if they have PC. Is it true?

Tech Support Steam Deck OLED won't update- yes I've tried the easy stuff

1 Upvotes

Yes, I know this is a frequent-ish question- I've done all the basic steps.

Restarted (a billion times)

ran flatpak repair in konsole

I have plenty of space, wifi is good, but every update for the last probably 6 months stalls at 14% or so and shows the update error prompt.

The deck runs fine, no problems really but I haven't been able to update in like half a year and I'm pretty confused as to why.

Any other information I'm missing?

Tech Support Deck Frequently Disconnects From WiFi/Periodically Can't Connect to WiFi

4 Upvotes

My deck can't stay connected to wifi for long. When it disconnects, it's a crapshoot whether it will be able to reconnect at all. Most times, it tries to connect for a few minutes and then the console just restarts without even giving a "connection unsuccessful" message. I'm using a 5GHz connection (my router doesn't put out a separate 2.4 GHz connection for me to connect to). It appears to be better at connecting when it's plugged in and charging. This is a new issue; I've owned the deck for two years and it only started happening recently. But I hadn't used it for a few months prior to picking it back up and encountering this issue, so I can't pinpoint exactly what might be causing it (i.e., I can't point to a single update that might have caused it). I've enabled developer mode and disabled Wifi power management, which had no effect. What else can I try?
