Absolutely, you can connect a PS5 controller to your Steam Deck! Steam supports a wide range of controllers, and thanks to Bluetooth functionality, pairing your PS5 controller is pretty straightforward. Just make sure your Steam Deck's Bluetooth is on, put your PS5 controller in pairing mode, and voila, you're set to game!

Yeah, it works, but why would you? The Steam Deck's built-in controls are already awesome. But to each their own, I guess!

Totally doable. I've been using my PS5 controller with my Steam Deck for weeks. The Bluetooth connection makes it a breeze, and I haven't noticed any lag or issues. It's a great way to play if you prefer the feel of the PS5 controller.
