Regular joycons function as 1 controller. Previously there wasn't a way to split them and use them as separate controllers, but I'm not sure if that's changed or not in the last year.
I've never tried 3rd-party joycons with my deck, I have a set of Kinvoca ones that I can try pairing later tonight and see if they work.
I think steamOS now has a toggle for combing as one for the first party controller, see here
I am interested to see if this is available for third party. Well, as long as a pair can be used as one it is great. Third parties’ have better grip and they allow better posture when gaming
