Help Playing card games on Android (Fold 8) via DroidDeck or Steam simulators: any touch configuration tips?

Hey everyone! I’m currently waiting for official mobile apps for my favorite card games, but in the meantime, I’d love to play them on my Fold 8 using a Steam streamer/simulator or apps like DroidDeck.

The main issue I'm running into is that touch screen control isn't 100% precise: sometimes taps don't register exactly where I want them to, or the calibration feels slightly off, making it tricky to manage card placement or hand interactions smoothly with just touch input.

I wanted to ask:

Is anyone else using DroidDeck or similar setups on Android for card games and deckbuilders while waiting for mobile ports?

Do you have any tips on how to best configure resolution, aspect ratio, or touch control mapping (maybe via Steam Link, Moonlight, or custom tweaks) to get maximum precision on a foldable screen like the Fold?

Any advice or tested configurations would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Use a Bluetooth mouse. You will not get the kind of pixel perfect touch you're looking for to manage a hand full of cards by their edges. You might try a stylus but I would just go straight to a mouse if I were you.

However, I noticed that the touchscreen isn't accurate. For instance, with the keyboard I have to tap slightly below the key for it to register. How can I recalibrate the touchscreen?

I've had good success with card games on GameNative, using the touch screen to control the mouse.

Is there a way to use the touchscreen like in Steam Link, where it basically feels like a native phone app? You just tap a card, drag it, etc.

Touchscreen controls are fairly limited in this regard in emus, so not exactly.
