Even though I barely ever connect controllers to my Steam Deck (I love a portable!) it’s nice to have the option to do so
It’s not just the option to have alternative controllers. But also needed if you want to play local multiplayer or anything in docked mode.
So no support for Xbox one controller dongle (non Bluetooth controller). At this point, I guess they’ll never add it, even though steam link hardware had it…
Its an old controller now, but my philosophy is still to use the hardware you have instead of buying new ones. Ah well.You can add support for it manually by installing the xone driver (Tutorial here), but it involves unlocking the file system and will have to be repeated after any steamOS updates. Not really ideal, would be very nice if Valve could include it.
I did it a few times, then got tired of doing it after every update. My hope was always Valve adding it to the system themselves.
