Oh, connecting controllers to the Steam Deck is super easy, peasy lemon squeezy! Just turn on your Steam Deck and go to the Bluetooth settings. From there, put your controller in pairing mode (usually by holding the pairing button down until the light starts flashing). Once it pops up on your Steam Deck's screen, just select it to pair, and bam, you're good to go! Works like a charm for most Bluetooth controllers.

Just plug it in! If you're not into the whole Bluetooth vibe, most wired controllers will work with the Steam Deck if you just plug them into the USB-C port. No fuss, no muss.

Honestly, who needs other controllers when the built-in ones do the job? But hey, to each their own.

Bluetooth's the way to go. If it's not connecting, make sure the controller's actually in pairing mode. Some people forget that part.
