Requirement? How so? Traditionally you can Mao any old controller for a game manually if you must. It pairs with my desktop on Bluetooth no problem.

    Are Gamers Nexus and other lying when they said that the controller acts are mouse without Steam? I don't have one but that's exactly how Steam Deck's controls work.

    It definitely does this. But why would that matter. The computer sees joy sticks and buttons. You can map accordingly?

    Without Steam, my Steam Deck's inputs are scroll wheels and mouse buttons and the computer sees no sticks and buttons. That's my point.
