To use your Steam Deck as a controller on Windows, first make sure your Steam client is up to date. Then, connect your Steam Deck to your PC via USB-C. Steam should recognize the device, and you can configure it as a controller from the 'Controller Settings' menu within Steam. It's pretty straightforward!
