Super simple to get your wireless controller connected to the Steam Deck! Just go to the Bluetooth settings on your Steam Deck, put your controller in pairing mode (usually involves holding down a button until a light flashes), and then select your controller from the list of available devices. Should be good to go in seconds!

Make sure your controller is charged! Nothing's worse than getting everything connected and then having your controller die on you.
