- Steam Deck Recommended Layout - 8 November 2025
We have shared a recommended layout for Steam Deck - next patch we’ll update the game and tutorial to reference the Steam Deck hotkeys rather than the mouse and keyboard commands. In the meantime... Right trackpad serves as your mouse, holding the left trackpad is Alt so you can access extended tooltips Left and right click are the left/right triggers or pressing the left/right trackpads A to start casting (Space) B to clear your fingers (C) X to adjust game speed (F) Y to pause (Esc) While hovering a spell, the left/right d-pad buttons shift the recipe placement (W/S) Shift your entire sequence with the up/down d-pad buttons or the left/right bumpers (A/D) This layout is optimized for how we like to play - primarily by hovering spells, shifting their placement with W/S and then right clicking to place them This layout should still work for players that prefer to left click spells and t…
