  • GadgetDeck

    Use your Steam Deck as an input device on another computer

  • To clarify: You want the Steam Deck to run USB gadget mode and use that to expose its input devices to the other machine?

    If so... while searching to see if the SD supports gadget mode (answer: yes) I happened across https://github.com/Frederic98/GadgetDeck - have you tried that?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • raw-gadget

    USB Raw Gadget — a low-level interface for the Linux USB Gadget subsystem

  • I don't own a steamdeck. But searching around the web a bit I found out that raw-gadget^1 was merged into the linux kernel in 5.7.

    And AFAIU that would enable proxying of USB devices.
