Reading its a feature of the OLED but not LCD Deck due to having a Low Energy Bluetooth chip. I do recall seeing people asking about the feature for the Deck a few months back. Guess valve delivered.

saw a comment the other day about the liner, I had totally overlooked it as well.
took me a few moments to figure it out as well.
Been using Decky on my Oled, but I really don’t see much need for me to bother with the Cyro tools.
Decky has numerous ‘must have’ tools that I use quite often.
Cyro - not so much.
Worth it for me - I have a HUGE collection of PC games, and the DECK lets me play them while i am… er… on the couch… yea thats it…
Not playing on the Toilet at work… never!
bought a 512 I found on sale on amazon, the 1T was a bit more than i wanted to pay. Then today i saw them on sale on amazon for a lower price by like $10 :) So i ordered another.
So i am getting several of the 512’s and not a 1T.
Of course I also collect retro handhelds and other devices that make use of these sd cards, so eventually when the 1T’s get cheaper, i will upgrade the one in my deck.
I have a small USB switch box, I press a button on it and the mouse and keyboard switch over to the deck.
I also have a Bluetooth keyboard that lets me quickly switch between devices.
I have the deck hooked to a TV so I don’t need to switch the monitor.
there are software solutions as well that let you share keyboard/mouse.
it’s an x86 Linux PC, it can basically do anything a PC can. Boot to desktop mode, and checkout the discover app store.
yes it has Bluetooth.

has a gold
rating.
Mine sticks if I push to the left, while pushing down, but the button is not stuck pressed down, it not registering a press while stuck. So it’s still usable.
I added a protective case which made it a t a bit worse, I think the case is not well made, going to trim the case and play with it for a few more days.
it is slowly wearing in, and not as bad today.

to install:
flatpak install flathub com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl
to Run:
flatpak run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl
after installed you can right click on the launcher icon to add to steam.
also I use a Decky loader plugin that lets me browse/find/run installed programs under game mode.
I picked up the LE. just because it was available, and it was a gift for myself.
If it was not available, i would have just gotten the other one.
Its likely that logitech software will be totally useless on the steam deck.
SteamDecks run Linux, (SteamOS) and the various games are ran using Proton, which is a variant of Wine.
You can install a program such as BOTTLES, which will let you easily run specific windows executable in .wine with a nice GUI. https://flathub.org/apps/com.usebottles.bottles
There are numerous other methods as well. On a more Normal Linux Distro, its possible to double click a .exe and have it loaded in wine, but the way the steamdeck OS is setup, makes it a bit harder to setup. So use ‘bottles’ is likely the best option.
But from my experience with Logitech devices and software in the past, the various tools never run in wine.
Give the URL to the exact tool/software and perhaps there are alternatives to be found.
You talking about the G Hub software? https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/innovation/g-hub.html
how are you determining its using 2.4 vs 5? My router has both, but the SSID is the same for both frequencies. So i cant really tell which Freq. Its using.
all i can say is I have 3 protective TPU, cases from various makers, and they fit my OLED and Normal Deck.
No idea on that specific case.
make a live usb and try it? The deck at its core is an x86 linux pc, so it should be fine. THe screen may be rotated. :)
no.
just plug it in and let it manage things.
Is it feasible to play video games on the steam deck and have an enjoyable experience.
Well. thats what its made for. So yes.
It is an X86 Linux PC Running SteamOS which can run most Windows Games via the Proton feature of Steam.
Its the most affordable and flexible hand held gaming system out at this time.
You can stream your PS4/5 games to the Deck, so you can play your PS4/5 games while sitting in the front room, and the PS* is in the back of the house. :)
Then theres the HUGE emulation scene.
My searching found a lot of hits on the issue dating back a year or so, sounds like a bit more fit and finish and QC may be needed at the assembly line.
I have not seen much posts on the topic in the last 5 or so months.
I will mention that you can stream your PS4 and PS5 games to your Deck with the chiaki
and chiaki4deck
programs. But the initial setup can be a little annoying and may confuse some people.

I cant even think of any exclusives. :) I will say be sure to watch the HumbleBundle site for often great deals to fill up your steam library, and there are numerous Free give away games from sites like GOG, and Epic, and the Amazon prime Gaming, which can be played on the Deck with helpers like “Heroic Games Launcher” or “Lutris”.
Then theres the HUGE emulation area, which can keep you busy for a long long time. Numerous GameCube Classics run great on the Deck. (and others)
Good Luck - the Deck is one of (if not THE) most versatile and flexible game system out.
I doubt if it’s an issue.
