I hope that the WiFi related crash is the one that causes my Deck to switch off immediately when downloading over WiFi while connected to my ISP crappy router. I had to buy an access point just to use my Deck wirelessly.

I'd love a complete list of every single controller Valve has added support for. The list must be huge at this point.

This was such a nasty wifi bug, I ran into it once my partner upgraded their router to a brand new 6e one on a brand new OLED, my LCD deck never had this issue. It would require a restart anytime I'd try to connect to the new access point, and caused a lot of weird software behavior. Really disappointing issue for Valve to not test this on newer routers when advertising this as a wifi 6e device, I suppose it may only affect a subset of routers, and perhaps Qualcomm didn't catch this bug in a Linux driver?
