Excluding adding an external keyboard and mouse, what quality of life changes can be made to the deck to make keyboard and mouse work less terrible?

Protip: get KDE connect, connect your phone and deck and then use KDE connect to paste passwords from your phones password manager

edit: deck has kde connect preinstalled but I think you need to connect your phone in desktop mode.

you can also then use your phones keyboard to type or use the phone as a touchpad
