About time, I love hitting up friends through the steam friends list, but typing back from a steamdeck is more often then not, kind of a hassle. Now I know beforehand that i’m typing to someone who’s on the deck :)
Tip if you care about it, Steam Deck has Bluetooth and can connect to Bluetooth devices like any computer. You should be able to get a small Bluetooth keyboard (without a dongle!) and use it for anything on the deck.
I just use the Steam Chat mobile app
Thanks, you are right! In most of the situations my friends are using it, they are laid back somewhere or docked with a controller on the couch. I have my wireless keyboard with mousepad in the living room, but they don’t 😊. It was never a big deal, but this extra info at a glance is useful for those times.
I thought it already did?
It previously showed a controller icon next to your name if you were either playing on Steam Deck or in Big Picture Mode - now there’s a separate icon for the Steam Deck rather than both using the same controller icon
I’m pretty sure it already does for me
