Connecting a PS4 controller to your Steam Deck is super easy! Just hold down the PS and Share buttons on your PS4 controller until the light bar starts flashing. Then, on your Steam Deck, go to Settings > Bluetooth, and search for new devices. You should see your PS4 controller listed there. Just select it to pair, and boom, you're ready to game!

Just to throw another angle here - while you can connect a PS4 controller, the Steam Deck's built-in controls are optimized for the best experience. But if you're all about that PS4 controller life, follow the pairing steps!

Honestly, just plug it in with a USB cable. Sometimes Bluetooth can be fiddly, and a cable is just plug and play.
