Connecting a Steam Controller to your PC is surprisingly easy! Just plug the included USB dongle into your PC, turn on your Steam Controller by holding the Steam button, and voilà, it should automatically connect. If you wanna go wireless, you can pair it by holding down the Steam button and the X button at the same time until it starts to blink, then choose the controller from your PC’s Bluetooth settings. Steam's big picture mode will guide you through the setup if you need extra help!

Honestly, just plug in the USB and press the power button on the controller. If it doesn't pop up, check your Bluetooth settings. Easy peasy.

I wouldn't bother with Bluetooth; the USB connection is way more reliable and gives you less input lag. Plus, it's literally just plug-and-play.
