Steam Deck Tools

Steam Deck Tools is a community-driven collection of utilities designed to enhance the experience of running Windows on the Valve Steam Deck. Hosted on GitHub and written primarily in C#, this suite bundles multiple practical tools into a single package, including fan control, performance overlay, power (TDP and refresh rate) adjustment, and Steam Controller support. The tools aim to fill functionality gaps when running Windows on a device originally optimized for SteamOS, such as adjusting thermal behavior or viewing real-time stats like FPS. Users have noted the project provides a lightweight alternative to other companion utilities and can be especially helpful when default drivers or settings don’t cover desired features. Because this software interacts with low-level system controls, its use carries some risk of instability, and it’s provided on a best-effort basis with documentation on installation and troubleshooting.
