I got myself a laptop recently with a 4080 so it kinda made my deck obsolete. But after around a month of use I’ve been wanting the comfort of just playing games in bed like I did for a year lol.
Is there a way to use my deck as a controller besides remote play because I’ve already tried it and the input lag is just horrendous.

cant just use an xbox or ps5 controller?
Got a steam deck so I wouldn’t need a ps or Xbox. So no don’t have any lol.
If you have access to USB-C to Ethernet adapter like this you can use LAN/ethernet internet speeds to access Steam “remotely” which is way faster than WiFi. (Connect the adapter to your Steam Deck then connect an ethernet cord from your Steam Deck to your internet)
You have to be able to connect your Steam Deck to ethernet internet within viable range of your PC, obviously so you can sit down and play while connected.
This is of course assuming your internet is over LAN/ethernet, not WiFi.
Look up for a guide to setup moonlight/sunshine. I did it and haven’t looked back!
Like others have said, moonlight is the way to go. However you can also use steam link but turn all the options off on the deck itself (screen, audio) so it’s basically a wii u controller at that point.
I’ve tried that Linux server thing someone else posted and in the end it acts the same as steam link, so I don’t think it’s worthwhile.
But once again, I urge you to look into both moonlight/sunshine, and also moondeckbuddy. It feels like magic once it is set up.
Thank you. I’ll look into that.
