In the last 1 month, Games I have enjoyed on my steam deck:

* A Plague Tale: Innocence

* Shadow tactics: Blades of Shogun

* Metro 2033

* Mark of the Ninja

* A way out (co op only)..

My only recommendation for playing in bed is that get some kind of stand or something so you can rest the deck on your chest/stomach and comfortably play for 2-3 hours at a time.

What stand do you use?

I purchased this one: https://www.amazon.com/Accessories-Protective-Adjustable-Pro... it came with a stand. While the stand itself is comfy to use, i hate how i have to manually hold the stand while picking up my steam deck.

Maybe one of the fancy cases with detachable stands is better?

Shadow tactics is one my favorite games, how did you play it without a mouse?

the steam deck has haptic trackpads

Ohh it supports controllers decently too. Almost as comfortable as keyboard and mouse. Once you've used keyboard and mouse, you'll find it a little slow to toggle through characters and their abilities using right and left buttons ... But you'll quickly get the muscle memory and start worrying more about the strategy than the controls. The trackpad can be used to move the camera around.

There maybe some community provided controller layouts to improve shortcuts.. but i haven't explored them yet.

Plus i really like the game so if there were any little annoyances i probably didn't notice them ..
