Usb-c port, so yes, though you may need an adapter.... And a long cord.
Unless you also grab the dock, but then you also need a controller.
I'm a PC couch player, I've played with a controller for the last decade with my 75" TV.
I'd definitely get a dock for it.
You guys are selling me big time on this.
I've been told (haven't done it myself) that the ps5 controller pairs extremely well with the steam deck + dock. I would ask around though- I have an actual Steam Controller that I use, myself, but I don't think you can buy those anymore.
You can buy them used if you can find them. I bought 2 directly from Valve before they were discontinued then a 3rd on Ebay.
I have an 8bitdo that can switch between Xbox and switch at any time. It's great and works with everything.
