To connect your 8BitDo controller to your Steam Deck, first make sure your controller is in pairing mode (usually by holding the Start or Pair button). Then, on your Steam Deck, go to the Bluetooth settings and look for the 8BitDo controller in the list of available devices. Select it to pair, and voilà! You're ready to game with your favorite controller.

Just push the pairing button on the 8BitDo and open Bluetooth settings on your Deck. Your Deck should see it like it's spotting a friend in a crowd. Tap to connect, and game on!

Honestly, just plug it in with a USB cable. Sometimes old school is the best school.

You'll waste less time pairing your 8BitDo to your Steam Deck than you will deciding which game to play first. Seriously, it's just turning on Bluetooth on both devices and selecting your controller on the Deck.
