Before the Steam Deck came out the biggest misconception folks seemed to have was that it was functionally different from a portable computer, and Valve also seemed to struggle a bit with this based on an IGN Q&A I watched that was basically 20 minutes of "can it do x" and them going "it's a computer, so yes".

But folks, our Steam Deck has randomly stopped accepting input from our 8bitdo controllers despite still detecting them as connected through bluetooth and I have never been more acutely aware that this thing is just a little bastard computer!!

Hey gang all goofs aside I'm not a big computer guy so like: why's my steam deck just not accepting my 8bitdos like everyone else's does? Why does it not Just Work(tm)?

Nothing to my knowledge. They were all working fine until they weren't, and then we tried a completely different emulator and they worked for awhile until they didn't. Sometimes the Deck detects them just fine, sometimes it doesn't. Being detected does not guarantee function. It's maddening!
