I want to play games like civ that are better played using mouse controls via the touch pads, so I want to use the steam deck as a controller. But the screen is a little too small and some games don’t have good ui scaling so I want to be able to play on the TV. What’s the best/easiest/cheapest way I can play on the TV while still using the steam deck as a controller? I have a Vizio tv that doesn’t support steam link but does support casting. Thanks!

    You need a dock, and a power cord that is long enough to have the Deck a comfortable distance from your TV. I used a USB hub dock, and a charging adapter with a long cable. Can’t get into my Amazon account from my phone at the moment so I will try to remember to come back and share what I did tomorrow, feel free to reply to remind me.
