What is Neptune-osk?

Neptune-osk

Neptune-osk is a cool tool that has really made waves in the gaming world, especially for those using Valve’s Steam Deck. This portable console surprised a lot of people when it launched, especially since there were doubts about its operating system. But guess what? It ended up boosting Linux's gaming share while delivering great hardware at awesome prices!

Why Install Windows on Your Steam Deck?

If you love gaming and need kernel-level anti-cheat software for competitive matches, or if you’re struggling to get some games to run smoothly with Proton, you might want to consider installing Windows on your Steam Deck. But here's the catch: typing can be a bit tricky without a dedicated program like Neptune-osk.

Navigating with Style

Many seasoned PC gamers didn’t warm up to Valve’s Steam Controller because it had a steep learning curve for replacing the mouse and keyboard, especially in First-Person Shooters. Yet, a big chunk of the community loves using it just to navigate around the operating system! Thanks to Steam's smart on-screen keyboard implementation, you can type using the trackpads just like you would on your phone.

Improving Your Experience

The latest updates have really stepped up the hardware game, giving users much more control over their experience. If you want something similar but don’t want to rely solely on the Steam client, Neptune-osk is here for you! It allows you to use Windows’ default on-screen keyboard just like Valve’s version for Linux. You can turn those two touchpads into virtual pointers and skip the clumsy touchscreen typing altogether.

Visibility Matters!

This app takes into account that the Steam Deck has a smaller screen size. You can adjust how transparent your keyboard is too! This means better visibility of whatever you're working on underneath.

Autocorrect Features

If you're not feeling Valve’s current version of their on-screen keyboard and prefer using Windows' autocorrect and word suggestions, then Neptune-osk could be just what you need! It comes with an extra transparency slider and does an excellent job mimicking its Linux counterpart while allowing full use of your Steam Deck's trackpads.
