Just use a USB-C cable and plug it into the Steam Deck. No fuss, no muss!
Firsthand experience here: Put your Steam Deck into Bluetooth pairing mode, then hold down the PS button and the Create button on the PS5 controller until the light bar flashes. When the controller shows up on the Steam Deck's Bluetooth list, select and pair it. Worked like a charm for me!
Why even bother? Just use the Steam Deck's built-in controls.
