Mouse Settings?
I use a Bluetooth trackball mouse with my deck with a 32" TV display, but I can't find the mouse settings anywhere. I need to speed it up and also turn up acceleration. I don't use the deck for mouse use because I'm a spinal cord injury and my hand works better with a trackball. Where are the settings located for this?

I don’t know if this will help, but it’s worth a try. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/t6c4w6/steam_deck_desktop_mode_configurations

The person in the link is talking about changing the controls on the Steam Deck itself, but it should work for mouse & keyboard. Most games that detect that you’re using a mouse & keyboard will allow you to adjust the mouse in the game.

The Steam Deck is a small computer, so think of it that way. Any settings that you want to change for mouse & keyboard should be done in desktop mode. Those settings probably won’t transfer to any game. Usually mouse & keyboard settings are adjusted in a game.

The mouse cursor jumps to the lower left of the 32" display every 10 seconds when I'm outside of games and in the deck. So when I am scrolling or clicking on options, when 10 seconds are up, there goes the cursor. It jumps down to the lower right of the screen. It's extremely annoying and makes using an external mouse impossible. I have no idea what to do to fix this.

Were you ever able to figure out a solution for this? This still happens to me sometimes.
