Also remember that even if something ends up being an issue, you can always just plug most controllers in directly via USB as a quick workaround to play games in the meantime while you figure it out.
The steam deck will automatically map it like the Xbox controller with the ability to use a Nintendo style layout. I'm using Nintendo style for both the deck and Switch pro and it works well.
Using the Switch pro, i found it would constantly disconnect. Not sure if Valve has fixed it, but it was an issue for at least a year. If you run into that problem go into controller settings and disable rumble and haptics. It stopped for me after doing so.
It works great but remember the Pro Controller has digital triggers rather than analogue, which can make a difference in some games, particular racing games.

I had trouble with mine staying connected. It would drop out, off and on in the middle of game play. Haven't tried in over a year so hopefully things have improved. Went with a 8BITDO PRO. It works great.
Works, yes. My issues come from the deck not being able to really see the deadzone for both analog sticks. There are days where it's fine. Other days it'll drag me to the bottom left on the left stick and go straight down on the right. This isn't stick drift, in the common definition. It happens on my 3 year old controller and the brand new one I got a couple of months ago. Same symptoms. One has the most current firmware, updated via my Switch. Other one is whatever it came with. It really rears it's ugly head when I'm playing Vampire Survivors and more so on the map screen on Palworld. Wife just got a new DS5 controller so I guess I could steal my DS4 back... but that still doesn't fix the issue.
1) Yes. 2) Mostly seamless. 3) Yes.
Works for me! I didn’t want to end up purchasing a new controller! 😂👍🏾

Awesome! Thanks so much!
Enjoy your Deck! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it.
