Hello.

Does anyone have experiences with this kind of gaming keyboard for the left hand?

I have plugged my Deck to my TV and the space in front of it is limited. Too small for a full keyboard and mouse. But a mouse plus such a gaming keyboard would be fine.

Does it work with the Steamdeck?

Heh! You are talking to someone who actually used vi from a televideo 910+ many years ago. The cursor keys on a 910+ are laid out in the same way as this, below the right shift key.

Not that vi on the system understood them at the time, mind you. I'm talking genuine Joy vi, here. I had some fun messing about with stevie (downloaded from comp.sources.unix) to get it to handle arrow keys. (-:

The obviously rhetorical question has a sort-of answer if this picture is correct:

They tried to tailor it to the U.S.A. market by making it like a 104-key U.S.A. Windows keyboard instead of like a 109-key Japan Windows keyboard; & put the arrow keys where they wouldn't spoil the massive triple-width size of the right shift key that United Statians are so used to.

Think of right shift on a U.S.A. keyboard as like a U.S.A. truck. (-:
