Hijacking top comment for an alternate method if, like me, you want to avoid getting your oily fingerprints on your nice new OLED screen whenever possible:
In these cases where the Deck is telling you to use the touchscreen, you can always hold down either the Steam button or the Quick Access Button (three dots) and drag your thumb over the left or right trackpad to move the mouse cursor. Then press Right Trigger to click mouse.
If you really don’t want to touch your screen, the elago Stylus Hexa is very nice. (Ignore that it says, “for iPhone”; it’s for any touchscreen.)
I have one and I really it. It has a great weight/feel to it.
PS: I tried linking to it, but automod deleted my comment, so this comment doesn’t have a link. Sorry, you gotta search. Guess those are the rules. :-/

Guide button + right stick also moves the cursor. Useful when using a controller!
