Install the Topdeck helper

Install once on your Steam Deck or Windows PC. The phone finds it automatically, and it updates itself from then on.

How to do it

  1. Hold the power button for about a second, choose “Switch to Desktop”
  2. Open the app launcher (Steam Deck icon, bottom left) → System → Konsole. If there is a >_ icon in the taskbar, that works too
  3. Type the command below (or paste it) and press Enter
curl -L topdeck.games/i|bash

Paste using Konsole's own right-click menu (L2 is right-click in Desktop mode) and pick Paste. Ctrl+Shift+V on the on-screen keyboard does not work — don't bother with it.

Rather not type it out? Open topdeck.games/setup in the Deck's own browser, hit “Copy command” above and paste it into the terminal — then that URL is the only thing you type.

To type in Desktop mode, press Steam + X for the on-screen keyboard.

If your Deck is set to a non-Latin language, the on-screen keyboard may not let you type a URL at all. Press the Steam button → Settings → Keyboard and add an English layout first; you can then switch layouts on the keyboard itself.

How to do it

  1. Search for PowerShell in the Start menu, right-click, “Run as administrator”
  2. Type the command below (or paste it) and press Enter
irm topdeck.games/i.ps1|iex

When it finishes, go back to the app and tap “Scan”. Keep both on the same Wi-Fi — no IP address needed.
