I want to play games like civ that are better played using mouse controls via the touch pads, so I want to use the steam deck as a controller. But the screen is a little too small and some games don't have good ui scaling so I want to be able to play on the TV. What's the best/easiest/cheapest way I can play on the TV while still using the steam deck as a controller? I have a Vizio tv that doesn't support steam link but does support casting. Thanks!

If you have good enough wi-fi, get the steam link app for your TV and stream the image.

This seems to be the best option out of everything commented here so far, but it is really disappointing that there is not a way to use the Steam Deck as a Bluetooth controller for a different PC.

You can remote play from another PC running steam, so that would function the same right?
