I suck arse at typing on the Deck. :(

I sometimes just use the touchscreen to type, when I'm feeling lazy.

Same here lol, it is an acquired skill lol, but even after over a year, I am still probably literally 10x slower at Deck typing than just with a keyboard.

Tbf the touch typing in the Old Big Picture was better than the current version

Its kind of strange to do maybe lol... but you can run desktop mode, and then run big picture mode from within that.

I... have had to do that in a couple almost certainly totally unique scenarios of me trying to get certain non steam games to run right lol, or maybe I didn't need to, but... yeah you can do that.
