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!

I hope Valve will release at some point a Steam Controller 2 that has the exact same buttons, trackpads, etc. like the deck.

If it’s about the touch pad controls you may want to check eBay for a Steam Controller.

I had mine in a drawer for years until the steam deck came out. Now I’m using it again quite a bit to play mouse-controlled games on my Steam Deck connected to the TV.
