Sure thing! While the Steam Deck is designed primarily for its built-in controls, it does support Bluetooth connectivity. This means you can technically pair Joy-Cons with the Steam Deck. You'll just need to pair them through the Bluetooth settings. Keep in mind, though, Joy-Cons might not offer the best experience for all games due to their unique button layout and size.

Yes, you can. I connected my Joy-Cons to my Steam Deck for a retro gaming session. It was a bit quirky to set up, but it worked surprisingly well for platformers and old school RPGs. Just be prepared for some games to feel a bit off with the Joy-Con layout.

Absolutely, but why? The Steam Deck's controls are already pretty solid. Pairing Joy-Cons is like using chopsticks to eat a steak. Sure, you can do it, but that doesn't make it the best tool for the job.
