I don’t understand this comment thread. I paired and updated my steam controller on bazzite in gaming mode without needing to use a second controller, keyboard, or mouse.
Comment on Steam Controller: Dropped and doubled inputs?! Bad connection?!

I haven’t noticed any dropped inputs or anything myself (also bazzite, though I rarely use big picture mode).
To pair the on screen instructions said to connect the controller with a cable separate from the puck. Just connecting it to the puck didn’t work.
(Also I don’t really see the issue with needing to confirm on the device. Surely you had a way to control it before this controller arrived?)

I just reinstalled linux and this time for some reason it paired by just connecting the puck. Previously, the instructions explicitly told me to plug the controller in with a separate USB cable.

No, the prompt won’t respond to non keyboard input devices. You have to click with a mouse or keyboard.
There should really be a timeout confirmation, you know, like most prompts of this sort. It’s a pretty big design flaw imo.
