No, it could have been anything. In example the Steam Deck is a Linux system and something with the games support for controls could have been broken on the device, while on your Windows PC with a Xbox or Playstation controller it could still work fine. Or you meant an external controller plugged into Steam Deck Dock to play on TV. How could I know all of this without asking?

But your actually point seems to be that the game controls on this game are not well optimized in your opinion, compared to the keyboard controls. So this is not really an issue with the Steam Deck itself, but with the type of controls of this game. In example you can plug in keyboard, and it would work like on your PC. Meaning its not a Steam Deck issue.

This is important to clarify, because others might make decisions based on yours statement.
