If your Steam Deck’s on-screen keyboard isn’t showing up, here are a few steps you can try to fix the issue:

Switch Between Modes:
Press and hold the Power Button until the power menu appears.
Select “Switch to Desktop Mode.”

After switching, double-tap “Return to Gaming Mode” to go back1.
Use the Keyboard Shortcut:

Press the Steam + X buttons simultaneously to bring up the virtual keyboard.

Check Steam Client:
Ensure the Steam Client is running in the background. The keyboard won’t appear in Desktop Mode if the Steam Client isn’t active.
Restart the Steam Deck:

Long press the power button to turn off the Steam Deck completely.
Turn it back on and try the keyboard shortcut again4.
Update Firmware:

Outdated firmware can cause issues. Make sure your Steam Deck is running the latest firmware
