Dead by Daylight's Steam Deck Support is Official. Confirmed to Us by Behaviour Interactive.
Yeah I would take piper over any of that bloated peripheral software anyway, gets the job done. There's also other community projects like OpenRazer. For a keyboard I grabbed a System76 Launch, it's a bit pricey but it's super nice and fully customizable via an appimage.
- OpenRazer Release v3.6.0

I use Piper for controlling the buttons and stuff, but that's because I'm on Linux, so I don't know what alternatives there are for Windows.
