While the Steam Deck's built-in controls are versatile, having additional input devices can enhance the gaming experience, especially for titles that benefit from a mouse or a traditional gamepad. The Steam Controller, designed by Valve, pairs seamlessly with the Steam Deck and offers interchangeable face buttons, high-fidelity haptic feedback, and dual trackpads. Alternatively, a USB gamepad, like the popular Xbox Wireless Controller, can provide a familiar gaming experience.
