## What it is
A suite of Windows applications for Steam Deck hardware providing fan control, a performance overlay, TDP/refresh rate power control, and Steam Controller emulation. It uses kernel-level manipulation to control the hardware.

## Use cases
- control steam deck fan speed on windows
- show fps overlay on steam deck windows
- change TDP power limits on steam deck
- use steam deck controller with game pass on windows
- monitor cpu gpu performance on steam deck

## When to choose
- you run Windows on a Steam Deck and want fan, power, and overlay control
- you need Steam Controller emulation for Game Pass or other launchers

## When to avoid
- you run SteamOS instead of Windows
- you play online games with anti-cheat that may flag kernel manipulation
- you cannot accept risk of system instability
