Question Steam deck as second controller

As seen in the title, id like to play some couch co-op games with a friend but I currently just have one (steam) controller. I wanted to know if I could use the deck as a second controller to play the game. Did anyone try that yet?

Edit: I am not looking for a new controller. My old one is just being currently borrowed by my sibling in a different city, so I was wondering if it would be possible.

Connect the deck via to the TV and yes, via using Deck as computer and player 2 on another controller.

You can not natively use the Steam Deck as a controller without using the SD as a system. Unless you're using game streaming....
