As an author of Steam Deck Tools thank you very much for covering this. Great guide :) Would you mind if I link it on my Steam Deck Tools page?

[@scaryifliteral]

Not at all, thanks for the hard work!

[@HasNiHassaan]

Wow good work! Handheld companion was driving me crazy with freezeups and inconsistencies and this one is flawless so far

[@frankmorales2353]

As an user of Steam Deck Tools: I really appreciate your work mate!!!! Thanks you so much for your work!!!

[@rcp-zxc]

@@HasNiHassaan Yup the features are great but god the bugs are really annoying

[@eduardogarcia4452]

Oustanding tool! Congratz on this man!

[@maxrosenthal1119]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you making this video. I've been dual booting for games that don't work on SteamOS and this might have just made me stay on windows

[@Rustyorange725]

thanks for uploading this, this has cleared up all my current issues. my steamdeck is now working as i want it to

[@kingjamez80]

I found the same thing with a dearth of information about what to do after you install windows on the steam deck. I hadn't found steam deck tools, thank you! This was super useful.

[@tenet5858]

Great video . For some reason not much videos on steam deck tools . I like the hot keys you mentioned . Lease make more steam deck tools tips and maybe what settings you recommend we use .mode certain games or maybe just in general settings .

[@chaosz911]

Wow thanks, this helped a lot! I was struggling with getting the controls to work in Xbox cloud gaming without weird tricks like GlosSi and Notepad and such.

[@istop3035]

thank you, fan control is the most I wanted in my windows !!!

[@Ccey]

Thx Bro, you ended up my search for a solution journey 👍

[@chrisrgutierrez]

What I like about Handheld Companion is that it gives you the Quick Settings Menu that you can map to any button and change the settings easily with touch.

[@johnboy2436]

handhelf companion is MILES better, not only that it didnt get me banned on EOC anti cheat. I didnt even use power or fan settings but switching to controller during game. Banned. Never again. This doesnt happen with handheld.

[@mike86pa]

Fantastic Resource! thank you!

[@ronstoppable7817]

Wow! This one works. Thank you! you got my subs

[@TinSucks]

I cant get the overlay to work even though I have rivatuner installed. Great video though! Should do a tutorial on the refresh rate settings too. And another video idea would be an all in one “how to make windows feel like steamos”. Just throwing ideas out there for ya :)

[@tasmania9576]

Thanks buddy, that helps me a lot!

[@BudokaiMan-mr9tw]

This was an amazing guide thank you, although I need to ask, how do you connect a keyboard and mouse to you're steam deck, I for the life of me have tried and it doesn't seem to connect to a Bluetooth keyboard.

[@dfed7673]

Thanks buddy, this is the best controller mod/tool for Win 11 so far.

[@9nell]

I have never been so happy about a guide in my life this works so well I came at least three times while trying this

[@scaryifliteral]

Thanks for that. Comments like these mean a lot to me actually.

[@cabbage2329]

You WHAT?

[@MADmarc599]

Is there any way to map the back paddle buttons to mimic the face button for game out of steam? I was wanting to Bing jump and reload to the back buttons when playing games like fortnite or overwatch

[@juancarlospereiragonzalez7126]

Awesome bro thanx, the latest APU update screwed up the solution i had installed for playnite, this simple app fixed everythign

[@tonycurry5545]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! This weekend I installed Handheld Companion on my Steam Deck and my GPD Win Max 2. Now I'm seriously considering removing Handheld Companion on my Steam Deck and install Steam Deck Tools instead. Are there any settings for Steam Deck Tools for gyroscope when using emulators and non Steam games?

[@scaryifliteral]

I've not actually looked into gyro control yet

[@76sagman]

Thanks for the guide. It helped.

[@scaryifliteral]

Glad it helped!

[@Dead_Hitori]

This helped me so much, I couldnt get kingdom hearts pc to work at all on windows deck

[@fairplayer916]

A couple of questions, does this allow you to configure the back pedal buttons for use in non-steam games? Moreover, does this inhibit the function within Steam games and steam controller configuration in any way?

[@reignofswords6575]

Yes , I have F11 and Escape configured to L5 and R5

[@MattlikesGames]

Great video! Is there any way I can get a Refresh rate option in my Power Control panel like yours? It'd be nice to be able to set everything to 40hz

[@Brand0n555]

[@blakedegner1863]

How did you get refresh rate on there?

[@technodrone313]

thanks dude! it works

[@warlockboyburns]

The first game I tried this with was Evil Within 2 and I got a 15fps boost using 1600mhz gpu frequency but I think it's because it's a bad port from console to pc. But still that's cool if there's a few like that.

[@MrRenel18]

Hi thanks for the very informative video,I just have 1 question,is the gyro aiming work on game pass ?

[@scaryifliteral]

I honestly haven't looked into gyro control yet, but I doubt it.

[@conosebostonma8212]

friend, do you know how to use the controls on this console because when I put windows 11 on it oh any windows I can't use the controls on the snes emulator oh game cube oh other games help

[@PopsHowTo]

Thank you for this. I also tried HC and found it buggy and just not "smooth" enough. I was just about to go back to steam os than i saw your video! Cheers!

[@joefei707]

Me just now too

[@GuroBrant]

I have SWICD driver installed. Should i uninstall before using Steam Deck Tools?

[@yohon6360]

Does this offer deadzone adjustments? I have the legion go and has massive deadzone problem. Steaminput won't work on some games such ass destiny 2 regardless of adjusting deadzone within the steaminput for that specific game layout. For "Gun" Om steam movement doesn't work for some reason regardless of having the specific game steam input on. Some newer games offer adjustment within them but many do not

[@warlockboyburns]

anyone know if there is a way to edit or disable the shortcuts/hotkeys of the app?

[@CyberDopamine]

Will this work on the ROG ally?

[@iyyuchtus]

Awesome video! Replaced HC and SWICD with the Steam Deck Tools using your tutorial. I'm only having problems making the OSD appear during in-game. Made sure to turn it on through settings, but it still won't pop up...

[@scaryifliteral]

Did you install and run the rivatuner app too? If it's not running it won't work.

[@iyyuchtus]

@@scaryifliteral I found the problem. It's specific to Persona 5 in Game Pass. All other games showed the OSD. Thanks again!

[@derekswitzer9624]

So this works better for you compared to HC?

[@salazarRE4]

HC works perfectly for me, I don't see the point in switching something that works

[@Baja383]

How do you uninstall SWICD?

[@user-sf8tc5jg1d]

Everything works great, except specifically in Skyrim launched via SKSE, my volume buttons dont work at all. Any idea why?

[@rockkiller47]

For me, only the fan was installed successfully, and the other ones are red because it failed to install through the CMD. Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?

[@DerekHahn]

This was a great tutorial

[@MasterH2005]

Can you please make a video comparing this to Handheld Companion?

[@shotygamingonyt]

ok Please someone NEEDS to ANSWER this Can i make the backbottons work with this software? i rly love using them and the only software i could use them with was Swicd? so please tell me there is a way to turn them on here?

How to disabls toutchpad heptic? I try using debug version and dissable lizard mode but only mouse heptic are gone, left touchpad still there

[@Youngscully]

Handheld companion is trash this was the only way I was able to use the steam controller thank you so much!

[@Censorshift]

For some reason after installing this my L and R no longer function as right and left mouse click in either mode

[@MrAxelStone]

Got my steam deck today and immediately installed Windows 11 after not really liking Steam OS after being used to Win 11 on my ROG Ally....do I need to uninstall SWICD before doing all of this?

[@i3TP]

Thank you 😃

[@Commando_Chaos]

How do i make it where i can press the 3 dots during game and not hold it for it to work?

[@svprjonas]

thanks tried two other videos before this works great

[@gerrytheleper6604]

Am I correct that you cannot have combined controller and mouse configs on Windows then? E.g. having a full xbox controller config and trackpad on mouse and gyro? And you also can't bind the back buttons?

[@scaryifliteral]

Not outside of steam games, not that I know of.

[@meanmug5258]

Forgive me if i am wrong but doesn't Handheld Companion do all of this stuff and more? Im using it not and it seems like the same features but im no expert or anything.

[@sufihalid]

Does anyone have any idea why mine says RTSS is not running? I did everything already and the icons in the taskbar is all red.

How do your links and stuff open so quickly? Mine takes ages,

[@marcusjordanentertainment]

Can anyone help. I downloaded the steam deck tools. I run it. And click finish and no prompt screen or Xbox 360 check off. Just completes and that’s all. Why am I not getting the pop up ?

[@TomXander]

If at all any controller doesn't work on steam games, you can go into big picture mode and enable the corresponding controller you are using (if you haven't installed this software in the video) or disable it if it still doesn't work. Example game for this is Forza Horizon 4.

[@zormorkiattikul5907]

is it work with Epic launcher's game ?

[@loganlewis5999]

I don't own a Xbox gamepass game. Can you direct me to what opening a game installs? is it the ViGEmBus Driver or more? The computer fully recognizes the SteamD controller as an Xbox controller. Nothing else does. I've followed the video and have no idea what I am missing. Do I need to configure steam in anyway? My goal is for fortnite to recognize the steamdeck.

[@capital4]

Thank you SO MUCH. My dumb keyboard kept on popping up when I would click X, now it doesn't. If I wasn't able to fix that, I literally wouldn't've been able to play games on windows.

[@orgalitho]

This is very great application but I often get issues where controls won't work. A restart fixes this but it happens much more often for me than any other application like this

[@DARKNIGHT-117]

Is there anyway to toggle this off when I’m playing steam games?

[@landothepeepeehead]

Is there anyway to change the resolution higher like how the steam os does it. When I tried windows I couldn't get it to change.

[@TinSucks]

Set up amd virtual super resolution

[@NUGZMedallion]

Oh, question; does this only work on Windows 11, or will it also be fine for Windows 10? I prefer the Win10 layout a bit over 11's so I opted to put 10 on my Steam Deck. I've been using the controls with GlosSI just fine but I'd like to try this as well.

[@scaryifliteral]

I don't know 100%, but I think it works on 10 as well.

Hello, is gyro still functional?

[@ZahidKalissik]

Some games just give me black screen (the problem disappears once i shut rivatuner off) but now I don't have access to the in game overlay. Do you happen to have a similar issue? If so, is there a potential fix? Good day

[@scaryifliteral]

Didn't see any such issue

[@nfeyz8595]

I am playing fifa 23. Somehow the osd is not showing. Anything i can do to make it shows? Playing from steam if it helps (then steam open ea app). Osd shows when i play another game

[@scaryifliteral]

If it's working in other games, I'm not really sure. It could literally be something to do with the game.

[@CrapkinsTheBrave]

The way to get your controller working is to set up a desktop configuration in steam. You basically have to do it for each game that isn't running through steam. If you add games through steam it's a little easier but it's almost impossible to do that with Game Pass games. A desktop configuration for each Game Pass game you want to play is necessary, unless you install a piece of software that recognizes your steam controller as something it isn't. Steam deck tools is still a great piece of software. It's just not necessary to use your controller on Game Pass games

[@arthurdasilvaandrade672]

Muito bom! Muito útil

[@rafalstaniszewski4532]

Do you use Fan Control? And if yes then what setting?

Hi I have a problem on steam deck ... After opening Watch Dogs 2, the game closes on its own Please give me a solution 🙏🏻

[@123luff]

SWICD videos were around before this, I wish you covered the differences and the benefit over SWICD if any. Haven't yet tried either method, but SWICD seems easier to install and also works with PS remote play.

[@scaryifliteral]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but SWICD only does controls whereas this does a whole bunch more. I also don't own a playstation, so that would not be something I can cover.

[@123luff]

@@scaryifliteral I was only thinking of controls as it was the main topic, but you are right, there's all those other features that might make it worth the hassle of installing.

I wish Valve would make a tablet version of the Steam Deck, perhaps with a POGO pin keyboard attachment.

That might have prevented the pop up. No big deal though, install steam and then right click on the little PC screen icon in the task bar. There should be an option there to setup steam.

You missed the steam tools installer, I promise. My issue was same as yours. Excellent video but its missing something.

[@BillSavage]

Steam deck tools was triggering anti cheat in some games. I haven’t used it because I don’t want to get banned. Has this issue been fixed?

[@scaryifliteral]

I've seen several people say they've used it without getting banned, but I can't recall what games.

[@AlexanderFam05]

I’ve been having trouble getting Fortnite working on my Steam Deck due to Easy Anti-Cheat recognizing both Handheld Companion and SWICD as cheats or a VPN. Do you know if this would work better with anti-cheats. It could just be something I’m doing wrong but I’m not entirely sure.

[@scaryifliteral]

Honestly can't say I've tried
