Valve have released SteamOS 3.7.10 Beta bringing lots of fixes for the Steam Deck, additional accessibility options and a bit of work for more handhelds. This is available in the Beta and Preview channels via Settings > System > System Update Channel.
This update is part of a wider push for new accessibility options, which is also included in the Desktop Steam Big Picture mode. Nice to see Valve focusing on that not just for games, but for the Steam Client experience too.
On SteamOS you have this new accessibility menu and new options:
General
- Fixed a WiFi regression with Steam Deck OLED.
- Disabled experimental support for Wake-on-Bluetooth for Steam Deck LCD while issues with spurious wake-ups are being investigated.
- Fixed a bug where visual corruption could occur with Sharp upscaling with HDR/10-bit applications when interacting with the overlay.
- Fixed an issue where the cursor would not be visible in the bottom-right quadrant of the screen when using the magnifier.
- Fixed cursor having a line of visual corruption when using Sharp upscaling in certain instances.
- Fixed certain overlay key bindings involving Shift, the Super key, Right Alt, or Return/Enter not being able to be triggered.
- Fixed input being passed to applications when overlay key bindings are invoked.
- Fixed OBS Studio not working with the streaming output provided by gamescope.
- Fixed an issue where clicking mailto: links sometimes didn't display the right error.
Audio
- Fixed an issue where volume keys would sometimes not properly adjust the volume of the 3.5mm audio connector.
- Fixed a SteamOS 3.6 regression causing audio glitches in God of War: Ragnarok.
Accessibility
- Added support for optional color filters.
- Added Orca screen reader and espeak-ng text-to-speech tools.
- Fixed the magnifier producing the correct scale and offset when Sharp upscaling was used.
Non-Deck
- Fixed an issue where the Legion Go S with SteamOS could lose trackpad functionality after sleep.
- Added power button support for some AYANEO, AYN, GPD, MSI, ONEXPLAYER, and OrangePi platforms.

That's a shame. It was a real triumph that they managed to get that function working on the LCD. However, the feature also had issues with spurious wakeups on the OLED at the beginning, so hopefully they'll be able to iron those out and roll it out again.
