So I have some games I’m running via Lutris, and my Deck runs the games fine.

All my prompts for commands are based on keyboard controls, even if I disconnect a keyboard.

I was able to work around this for some games via in game settings, but not all games seem to have this option.

Am I missing a setting?

Edit: should clarify I am running the game via Lutris in Gaming mode.

Do you have steam running in the background in desktop mode or did you shut that down?

Nope, Lutris was just running my games as desktop mode even if I was on gaming mode. I restarted and pressed the start/hburger button for a few seconds and saw a pop-up that said “Gamepad” and my control scheme shifted.

So everything is working properly now.
