A new Steam Deck Beta Client update was released yesterday with a couple of nice fixes and changes. GameCube controllers will no longer get PlayStation button prompts, more of the UI will respect high contrast mode from the accessibility settings, and if you are on the Legion Go S, Joystick LED controls have been added to the customization options in settings.

You can download the update yourself in the System Settings on the Steam Deck. Make sure your update channel is set to Beta or Preview.
