Hi friends.

I own a couple of games that are pretty much played exclusively with the Steam Deck's touch screen. There are some community layouts that do work but they honestly suck. The best example for this is Magic Arena or Football Manager 2024.

Holding the Steam Deck with one hand is a bit uncomfortable, the ergonomics aren't good. I'm sure there must be some kind I'm accessory I'm not aware of that improves this. I tend to play on the couch, a kickstand wouldn't be great here.

Thanks in advance!

I've got something I can only describe as a "gamer's breastfeeding pillow", it's a sort of U-shaped pillow which you rest your arms and Deck on. Mainly used for long two-handed play sessions, but it would definitely help for one-handed play.

Alternatively you could just try to get used to using the touchpad as a mouse, but I know that's not everyone's cup of tea.
