Honestly, just plug it in or connect via Bluetooth. It's not rocket science.
If your Steam Controller isn't connecting, make sure your firmware is up to date. Steam usually handles this, but it's worth checking. Also, try different USB ports; sometimes the simplest solutions work best.
Lost your dongle or prefer a cable-free setup? No problem! Steam Controller also supports Bluetooth connection. Just hold down the Steam button and the Y button at the same time until the controller turns on and enters pairing mode. Then, just find it in your device's Bluetooth settings and connect. Easy peasy!
