Absolutely, you can! The Steam Deck supports a wide range of USB and Bluetooth peripherals, including the PS5 controller. Just pair it via Bluetooth or connect it with a USB-C cable, and you're good to go. It's pretty awesome how versatile the Steam Deck is in supporting different controllers.

Unfortunately, while you can connect it, not every game optimizes for the PS5 controller's features. So, ymmv.

Yes, the PS5 controller works with the Steam Deck. I've been using mine since day one. The haptic feedback doesn't translate perfectly, but it's still a solid gaming experience.
