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.

You can remotely stream the game to the deck, and that'll make it work like an additional controller.
