Most modern consoles have at least some compatibility with mice and keyboards, the Steam Deck included. In fact, you could consider the Steam Deck a tantamount handheld gaming PC. As such, the console can run games consoles can’t, which includes titles built with mice and keyboards in mind. But as with many computer accessories, not all mice and keyboards are built the same.
Since the Steam Deck is a gaming platform, it’s almost second nature to purchase gaming keyboards and mice, and that’s not a bad instinct. But given the sheer number of gaming mice and keyboards out there, research should always precede purchases. For instance, you might think the Ziyou Lang X3 is a great deal, but its sensor input lag is reportedly horrendous, and that’s when the sensor actually works — quick mouse movements literally break its software. Meanwhile, the Glorious Model D-, despite sporting decent performance, is notoriously flimsy and brittle.
Keyboards don’t have a much better track record. For every quality gaming keyboard, you will find three akin to the Redragon K552 Kumara. On the surface, this accessory’s $35 price tag sounds like a great deal, but apparently, the Redragon’s keys wear out in a matter of months. Conversely, you can always buy name-brand products like Razer keyboards, which are generally more expensive, but the devil is so overt it doesn’t need to hide in the details: Razer keyboards are expensive if not downright overpriced. If you can buy them on sale, go ahead, because their quality speaks for itself. Otherwise, look for a less expensive keyboard.
