What to know

In Decky Display, Picture holds Resolution, Refresh rate, Quality and Codec: the device’s requests. Right now shows what is actually streaming. The Mac can limit each one for that device in Settings → Devices. Maintenance on the Mac contains repair and reset actions; read their confirmation before using them.

Screen input and Controller input

In Decky Display, Touch holds the screen’s Natural or Classic style, pen behaviour, Automatic or Manual keyboard, Scroll speed and Scroll inertia. You can reach the same choices from the screen’s floating Touch panel.

Controller settings are separate: Keyboard offers Automatic, Always and Never, alongside Pointer speed, Scroll speed, Scroll inertia, Hold to drag and edge-scroll switches. Changing one surface’s settings does not retune the other.

If it does not work

If a value differs between devices, check the selected device in Devices before changing a global default.
