  • A few ideas:

    • You may want to try disabling steam input for the game, and just using the game’s built in controller support. Go to the game’s page in your steam library, hit the gear, go to properties>controller, and then pick disable steam input. Then try the game and see if it works any better.

    • On PC if the game supports a walk keybind, with steam input enabled you could bind that to a back button, and then hold it down to walk.

    • You said you tweaked deadzones, but was that in the game’s settings or in the steam input settings? You may want to try editing the other one (ie lowering the deadzone size in steam controller settings, adjusting the deadzone size/type in game, and adjusting the stick response curve in game)

    • You can also check community control profiles, the top ones may have a work around to fix it, or there’s probably one that’s simulating mouse/keyboard that would bypass this issue completely.







  • It apparently used to say it on Valve’s official FAQ for the steam deck, but it’s since been rewritten to only mention the bios method. I found a 4 year old reddit post where they directly quoted the older version of the page.

    I also confirmed on my Steam Deck that it works, I was able to get the double blue led flash (which confirms you’ve entered battery storage mode on the OLED) by plugging the deck in, turning it off, holding vol+ and QAM for 10 seconds, and then unplugging the Deck (while still holding the buttons)

    Remnant 2 is acceptable, I played through it with a friend some months back. Can’t use any framegen with it (even lsfg) or the input lag is horrible, and the framerate is never stable, but it was able to hold a shaky 30 for basically my whole playthrough, while looking decent.


  • Huh, is that a new shortcut, or did they get confused about the UEFI reset shortcut:

    Hold down Volume Down+Power+⋯ (“Three Dots” button under the right touchpad) to reset the UEFI settings to their defaults (keep the two buttons other than Power held after the first blink of the LED: the LED will blink during the operation and stop once done, then release the buttons).

    I’ve never heard of volume up+… as a functional shortcut before.

    EDIT I found what it is, that button combo (followed by unplugging the Deck) forcibly puts the Deck into Battery Storage mode without being able to access the BIOS.

    He then plugged it back in, exciting battery storage mode and booting the deck.



  • Thing is, you also called it “shorting” the battery. Usually a short is an unintended, unsustainable low resistance path.

    While your body may technically close the circuit, calling it a short makes it sound like an actual electricution risk. That combined with the unclear “no issue” usage made it pretty confusing, I thought you had no idea what you were talking about until I saw your reply.












  • The m.2 SSD is easily accessible, it comes with a 2230 m.2 (same size as the Steam Deck), but has room to install a full size 2280 m.2. It only has room for 1 though, so while you can upgrade to a larger size you can’t add a second. Swapping out the m.2 will require cloning your drive or reinstalling SteamOS to the new drive.

    There’s also a high speed microSD slot for even easier space upgrades, and microSDs with games can be swapped directly between the Deck and Machine.

    For RAM, it uses laptop DDR5. It is user upgradable, but isn’t as easy to access as the m.2 drive is.
