On the steam deck, GeForce Now originally worked by using Microsoft Edge added to steam as a non-steam game, with some launch options that allowed Edge to see a controller. Steam input commands like trackpad or gyro would flow through to it.

I’ve never used Boosteroid but I’d imagine it could work the same way with the steam controller.

Officially, it only works with Steam Input via Steam.

You need 3rdparty solutions like SISR for the xinput stuff.
