[Help] use keyboard from another linux laptop - eviltoast

Typing on the steam deck, no matter what method I use, is very slow. I have a linux laptop, but I obviously can’t plug in the keyboard into the steam deck.

I was considering running KDE connect, but it gets closed in game mode. Could I run some kind of service in the background during game mode? Like is there some kind of systemd target for that?

    But does that work in game mode? OP already mentioned that limitation as why they are not using KDE Connect.

      systemd runs in game mode, the only difference from game mode to desktop mode is the window system. I have a systemd service for running syncthing in the background to keep some of my emulated save files backed up to my NAS.
