Moreover, Steam Input now supports dimming the Steam Controller\u2019s LED, in line with a related firmware update. Valve has also reverted recent trackpad momentum tracking changes that introduced a deadzone around the trackpad edges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Steam Controller firmware update addresses a potential charging issue, adds LED dimming support via Steam settings, and reduces internal deadzoning in the lower trigger range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding Remote Play, the update resolves doubled input when the Steam Controller is connected through a puck, eliminating duplicate commands during streaming sessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update also addresses a download-related bug that may have impacted performance on certain networks. SteamNetworkingSockets receives a reliability fix that addresses a bug causing connections to drop with the \u201cstop_waiting past sentinel gap\u201d error.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Steam Deck, the update improves the pair controller screen layout and resolves an issue where joystick LEDs did not function correctly on some Lenovo Legion Go devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more details, see the release notes. As usual, the Steam Client update will be downloaded automatically.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/steam-june-client-update-fixes-linux-input-and-controller-issues\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steam June Client Update Fixes Linux Input and Controller Issues https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/steam-june-client-update-fixes-linux-input-and-controller-issues\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-02 04:46:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":261752,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/steam-client-june-2026.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-261751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261751"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261751"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":261753,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261751\/revisions\/261753"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
