Even if you don’t want to use it as a computer having a Bluetooth keyboard is almost a must-have because otherwise configuring non-steam games in windows mode is a real pain.
In a similar vain, enabling ssh and using that for config or moving files around has saved me a lot of typing.
SSH is weirdly slow however. There is a command to disable wifi powersaving (or something like that) which is the cause but I couldn't be bothered lol.
If you stream games or play multiplayer you may want to consider disabling that anyway as it dramatically improves the WIFI speed and reliability.
