Just use a USB-C cable. Plug it into the Steam Deck and your controller. Voil脿, instant pairing without any fuss!
Speaking from experience, you first hold down the pair button on your Xbox controller. Then, on Steam Deck, head to Settings > Bluetooth > Add Device and select your controller. Done and dusted!
Bluetooth is the way! Activate Bluetooth on the Steam Deck, make your controller discoverable with the pairing button, and connect. It's super straightforward.
