I recently started to play a crafting mmorpg (bitcraft) and while it runs great on the steam deck, the controls are not great. I have been playing with an old dell usb keyboard and Bluetooth trackball. I would like to find a great Bluetooth keyboard. So many of the wireless keyboards I have looked at require a dongle, which limits my ability to charge unless I use a dock.

I would rather a larger keyboard than a smaller one.

I have a number of Bluetooth keyboards and they all seem to work just fine with the steam deck. I think you can pick the keyboard you want style wise and you’ll be fine.

The problem I have run into is the keyboards I am finding are either wireless with dongle, or very small TV keyboards.

I dunno, I recently bought two keyboards and both could do all theee, wired, wireless with the dongle, or Bluetooth with no dongle. I have a keychron and love it - if you’re looking for desktop keyboard, that’s a great choice although pricy. Logitech makes some good travel ones too that operate in all three modes. Try those brands if you’re having trouble finding Bluetooth keyboards.
