RetroDECK is using Steam Input so for all the controller profiles disabling it is not recommend. If you can not enable Steam Input again and the Steam GUI is buggy you have to do this: 1. Remove RetroDECK as `A Non-Steam Game` from the `Library` 2. Add it again via `Library` - `Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library` (or use BoilR). - - ## How do I update RetroDECK? Updates to RetroDECK is handled automatically via your distributions software manager when there is a new version released like KDE's Discover or Gnome Software. On the Steam Deck you can also install the AutoFlatpaks plugin for Decky to be able to update in gamemode.
