It quite often didn’t recognize the HDMI output so I’d have to try all kinds of things like rebooting and unplugging/replugging until it would finally output to my screen. Also had some trouble getting it to start charging a few times.
You can use any controller with a steam deck though. I use our ps5 controllers to play cult of the lamb with my husband and I have a wired Xbox controller I’ve used as well. Both work flawlessly.

Haha ok ok. Maybe I just want something new and shiny from Valve.
I have had problems with the official dock so I got a cheap third party replacement and it has been flawless.

Wow that might have helped actually. My third party dock never needed any troubleshooting like that though so I’ve stuck with that.
Alternatively steam link / moonlight
Yeah but controller options are limited, the Steam Controller is expensive used and there isnt a replacement.

You can use any controller but imo none feel as comfortable as the original steam controller in my larger hands, also the touchpads are nice.
