Steam Deck Recommended Layout

We have shared a recommended layout for Steam Deck - next patch we’ll update the game and tutorial to reference the Steam Deck hotkeys rather than the mouse and keyboard commands. In the meantime...

Right trackpad serves as your mouse, holding the left trackpad is Alt so you can access extended tooltips

Left and right click are the left/right triggers or pressing the left/right trackpads

A to start casting (Space)
B to clear your fingers (C)
X to adjust game speed (F)
Y to pause (Esc)

While hovering a spell, the left/right d-pad buttons shift the recipe placement (W/S)

Shift your entire sequence with the up/down d-pad buttons or the left/right bumpers (A/D)

This layout is optimized for how we like to play - primarily by hovering spells, shifting their placement with W/S and then right clicking to place them

This layout should still work for players that prefer to left click spells and then left click fingers to place them, but you might prefer having the right trackpad be treated as a left click on press. This allows you to play almost entirely with your right thumb (for better or worse)

Let us know if you have any questions or recommendations for the layout!
