And as an extension - how do I change my controller layout while in game mode? I understand I can press the Steam button and then use my trackpad as a mouse, but I'd rather it just permanently behave as a mouse in game mode.

Basically I'd like to use the trackpads as mouse/scroll while browsing my library in Game Mode.

Thank you!

Nice suggestion! I'll try this out, hopefully it works!

So unfortunately either I couldn't find the option or what I thought was the option didn't have any effect in game mode :/

Finally got around to tinkering and sorry, no luck here either. I thought BPM had it's own controller setting, but it seems like everything just maps to the desktop control scheme on the deck. Have to agree with the top comment I don't think this is currently possible

That really sucks, but I appreciate you looking!
