Easiest way is by using remote play, you'll want to change settings to enable audio on the host, and possibly lower stream bandwidth.

The guide also has another more in depth method.

The controller on the deck is actually different though.

It'd be good if they can eventually make a controller that is actually based on the steamdeck's controller design.

I would buy one as soon as I could.

Right, it has more inputs that I find attractive. Especially with Steam Input being a thing, I typically use trackpads as a virtual menu for some games (MMOs typically), with the sticks being the normal move/camera. Then the extra two buttons on the back, helps to bind extra commands to them or tie them to a mode shift.

A Steam Controller 2 with all the inputs of the deck would be a day 1 buy.

Yeah, trackpads in addition to joysticks, rather than instead of joysticks, is such a game changer.
