If you're looking for a companion app, you might want to try KDE Connect. You can pair the mobile app to your Steam Deck to allow for keyboard/mouse remote input and a bunch of other cool features. There's also a Decky plugin for KDE Connect in Gamescope.
This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for I had no idea kde connect existed, you are a blessing
Does it work in game mode now? I thought it was only in desktop mode.
I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a decky loader plugin for it!
Yes, it works in gamemode. You might want to also get the Decky loader plugin that lets you control KDE Connect is enabled from gamemode though
It didn't work for me last time I tried, but yeah, it could have been fixed by now. It's definitely the right direction to try, it's the perfect solution for OP.
