Hello all - new Steamdeck owner here. I also own a PS5 and had been wanting to stream to my deck.
I learned about Chiaki4deck and did the install this weekend and was up and running playing games within a few minutes. However, I am still having a few issues getting the Touchpad on my PS5 controller to work right.
The controller works fine with that one exception.
I have a few games that really utilize the pad - is there something that can be done on the Deck side help with compatibility?
Edit: just resolved the issue thanks to @PlasticExistence@lemmy.world: the firmware on the controller I was trying to use had not been updated. Once I did the issue resolved itself.
Thanks all for the suggestions and help
I use a PS5 controller paired wirelessly with my deck. I think the touchpad just worked for me with no extra settings (apart from picking a steam input configuration that supports it) but in practice I almost never use it for gaming.
Not sure what chiaki4deck is but I don’t believe it’s necessary for PS5 controller support.
Update: i may have installed something for gyro support at some point but it wasn’t chiaki4deck
Chiaki4deck is PS Remote Play for Linux. It’s pretty nifty
