Valve continue their rapid iteration on improvements and fixes to Steam and the Steam Controller, with a fresh Beta update out.

This was release on May 28th, and since it's in a Beta you need to opt-in, eventually it will roll out to everyone - like we just had the big stable update only recently.

Here's all the changes:

General

  • Fixed an issue with joystick LEDs not working correctly on Legion Go in some cases.

Steam Controller Firmware

  • Added support for dimming the LED via settings in Steam.
  • Reduced internal deadzoning on the lower-range of the triggers.

Steam Input

  • Added support for dimming the Steam Controller's LED.
  • Fixed some cases where returning to the "Edit Layout" screen from changing a binding or navigating from the "Preview" layout view could focus the wrong input.
  • Ship a potential workaround for an issue on Linux where gamepad emulation would break for Steam Controllers.

Remote Play

  • Fixed doubled input when the Steam Controller is connected via a puck.

For those of you with the new Steam Controller - what are you hoping Valve tweak or add for it next? Leave a comment with your thoughts.

Custom startup/shutdown sounds like on the Steam Controller 1 would be 👨‍🍳 💋

Waiting to get my replacement controller since GLS "lost" (or just stole) the previous one...

Imagine if this happened with a steam machine or frame...GLS sucks!

Hopefully Valve offers a fix for the not existing rumble effect in lots of games...

Of course, one needs to actually get a hold of a Steam Controller, first...
