Comment on [Help] Unable to connect steam deck to xbox controller

I tried connecting my old Xbone controller and had the same issue. I think they use some old, unsupported version of Bluetooth (or maybe their own proprietary signal). You’re outta luck, I’m afraid.

Did you get another controller?

Yeah, I ended up just using my spare PS5 controller instead, and that’s worked perfectly. Some games even support its adaptive triggers, which was a nice surprise.

I’ve even run into games that use the light for stuff. The Silent Hill 2 remake uses it to indicate health.

You can even use the TouchPad similar to the track pads on the deck! It does have dual sides to it which sometimes work, sometimes don’t (if you use a finger on both it can get confused, though it does work in desktop mode for pulling up the keyboard)
Honestly, the PS5 controller is perfect for the deck imo. You get track pad, and all the features work. You can even change the LED color without even needing a PS5.
Theyre expensive af though.
