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?

This looks closer then anything I've seen so far, thanks!

From what I can discern its missing important bits of the controller and doesn't have any steaminput profile etc so it's clunky still.

Worth poking at though.

edit - to clarify, ideally steaminput would be tricked on the host to think that it "was" a steamdeck so all the mapping features would be available. I don't really need another usb game controller its more the steamdeck touchpad etc.
