Can't be bothered connecting a mouse and keyboard to my deck for that kind of game.
Turns out that "that kind of game" also includes more than I expected!
I have a dock. Highly recommend it if you don't have a desktop. It's a one second plug in for games that are better with keyboard and mouse (RTS / FPS).
I do have a desktop so no real point. I use a dock to plug in to the TV and connect controllers though.
How do you connect the controllers?
I tried my Xbox wireless adapter but it doesn't work
I had no problems so no idea about troubleshooting. Wired ones show up on plugging in, Bluetooth ones are detected fine. We even have an official Nintendo controller working.
Although there are few games that simply won't let go of the steam deck controls.
You need a 3rd party decky plug-in to get it resolved.
