To use your Steam Deck as a controller, first, make sure it's connected to your PC either via USB-C or through a wireless connection. Once connected, launch Steam on your PC, head to the 'Settings' menu, then 'Controller' settings, and there you should see the Steam Deck listed as an available controller. Choose it, and you're all set to use it as a gamepad for your PC games!

Just connect the Steam Deck to your PC and it should pop up as a controller option in Steam. Easy peasy.
