8bitdo makes some of the best controllers out there, or you can go with an Xbox controller, though they are much more expensive.

As far as mouse and keyboard, yeah, if you need to play with them, that will be totally possible and comparable to a desktop set up. However, the track pads on the steamdeck may be more convenient for you.

Would a ps5 controller work? Only asking cuz I already have a ps5.
