## Useful for

- Pair a Steam Deck as a Bluetooth gamepad with a Mac or iPad
- Play iPad games using the Steam Deck's physical buttons and sticks
- Pick the Xbox Elite profile to get rumble in Steam Input games

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 64 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 77 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #179.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 1
- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 70 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
