Latest Steam update brings Steam Controller firmware updates and bug fixes

Valve released the latest stable Steam Client update for all platforms, which includes numerous improvements for the new Steam Controller.

This is rolling up a few previous Beta updates for everyone that were previously covered here on GamingOnLinux. As we've come to expect from Valve, their hardware continues just getting better a long time after release with constant updates and the Steam Controller will be no different.

Steam Input

• Added a potential workaround for an issue on Linux where gamepad emulation would break for Steam Controllers.
• Reverted changes to trackpad momentum tracking that caused a deadzone around the edges of the Steam Controller trackpad.
• Fixed an issue with joystick LEDs not working correctly on Legion Go in some cases.
• 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.
• Fixed an issue displaying the paired device serial on the Steam Controller Puck info page.

Downloads

• Fixed a bug which may have impacted download performance on some networks.

Remote Play

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

And for the Steam Deck / SteamOS Client update these were extra changes:
