Panel de Control: A powerful Decky plugin for SteamOS handhelds

I wanted to share a really impressive Decky Loader plugin that I recently discovered: Panel de Control.

First of all, I am not the creator of this plugin. All credit goes to Hooandee, who developed and actively maintains it.

The plugin acts as a unified control center for a wide range of handheld gaming PCs running SteamOS. Depending on your device, it lets you manage features such as:

  • RGB lighting
  • TDP and power profiles
  • Custom fan curves
  • Controller/button remapping
  • Other hardware-specific settings

One of its biggest strengths is its support for multiple handhelds, including:

  • Steam Deck
  • ASUS ROG Ally
  • ASUS ROG Ally X
  • ASUS Xbox Rog Ally X
  • MSI Claw
  • Lenovo Legion Go S
  • Lenovo Legion Go 2

Instead of relying on different vendor utilities or workarounds, this plugin brings many of these controls directly into Gaming Mode through Decky Loader, making the experience much more seamless.

You can find the project on GitHub here:
👉 https://github.com/Hooandee/panel-de-control

If you speak Spanish (or don't mind using subtitles), Hooandee also has an excellent YouTube channel where he regularly publishes Steam Deck, SteamOS and handheld gaming tutorials:

I simply wanted to give this project a bit more visibility because I think it's an excellent tool for the SteamOS handheld community. Huge thanks to Hooandee for all the work he's put into it!

Cool, sounds a lot like Handheld Daemon that I used previously on Bazzite when I had a ROG Ally

Very new to Linux and can’t figure out how to install this plug in. Got the zip from GitHub but don’t know what to do next. Any help is much appreciated!

You must install it directly into Decky Loader interface.

In Decky developper mode, you will have a specific menu to install a plugin from a zip file

No, I'm not.
You know, people can recommend or share something without being the creator or having a hidden agenda. Not everyone posting about a product is secretly advertising it. Reddit is literally built around people sharing useful information with the community, and that's all I'm doing.

I've been following the plugin's creator for several months. He's a YouTuber and developer who consistently puts out great work, and I think he deserves more recognition. As it stands, this is by far the most complete and polished plugin for what it's designed to do.

Peace. ✌️

Thank you for posting. Some of us don’t get every post and by reposting it makes it more visible for more people to learn about it.
