In this post, I’ll answer a question nobody asked but everyone secretly wonders this: which is better, the Steam Deck’s built-in GamePad or an external controller?

Honestly, it depends on how you use them.

The Steam Deck’s GamePad shines when it comes to portability and customization. Those four programmable buttons on the back are handy, and warranty coverage can make repairs or replacements less costly.

An external controller, on the other hand, is great for long sessions at home. Most games support it, and using one gives your Deck’s built-in controls a break, which can help extend their lifespan. Just keep in mind some games might not fully support external controllers, and a decent one will cost around $30 to $80.

Verdict;
External controllers are the better pick when you can use them. The built-in GamePad is ideal for mobility, customization, and comfort.
