Forget the cables! Just sync it via Bluetooth. Click on settings, hit Bluetooth, and pair your DualSense. Done and done.
I did it last week! Press the PS button and the Create button on your controller until the light bar blinks, then find it in the Steam Deck鈥檚 Bluetooth settings. Boom, you're done!
Plug in your PS5 controller using a USB-C cable, and Steam Deck should automatically recognize it. No muss, no fuss!
