Pretty much any controller that connects via Bluetooth or USB should work with the Steam Deck. This includes Xbox, PlayStation, and even Switch Pro controllers. Valve made sure the Steam Deck is as versatile as possible in terms of controller support, so you're not restricted to just Steam's own hardware. Just pair it up and you're good to go!

Personally, I've had great success using my Xbox controller with the Steam Deck. The pairing process was a breeze, and the gameplay experience is seamless. Highly recommend!
