The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

General

• Add HDR badge to app details for games that are marked as having HDR output.
  

Steam Input

• Improve look of configurator when there are no controllers connected
  
• Fixes to both Gyro as Joystick Modes: Min/Max remapping was not allowing values to become zero when gyro values were less than minimum required joystick output values.
  
• Gyro to Joystick (Deflection) mode uses sensor fusion controller accelerometer rather than quaternion for more consistent behavior. This should address issues where the X output would become canted in the legacy modes. Note: it may feel subtly different. Feedback welcome.
