Cyber Knights: Flashpoint adds full gamepad support and Steam Deck improvements

A little heist on the go perhaps? Cyber Knights: Flashpoint from Trese Brothers is steadily turning into a favourite turn-based tactics game and now with all the controller improvements it should feel a whole lot better on Steam Deck too.

More about it: "Squad tactics heist RPG! Clever stealth, strategic combat, unique 23rd-century cyberpunk. Build your crew of hackers, mercs and malcontents wisely; their stories will become interwoven with your own. Use powerful cyberware, faction connections, and more to outsmart the odds & determine your future."

The game has a Native Linux version, and a Steam Deck Playable rating that should eventually get bumped up to Verified as the Trese Brothers continue putting in effort to make it better on Deck.

In the latest update they noted some controls issues being solved on Steam Deck, and with the new default configuration you "should be very good to go with the Steam Deck". But, they're not using Steam Input on Deck specifically due to issues, but you can turn it back on in their settings. Elsewhere it should use Steam Input for the full controller support now.
