Steam Input is, once again, super impressive. Back in the day you had to use Zadig to mask the device as WinUSB to use it for anything; I never expected to see it streamlined to such a degree.

Steam Input uses SDL input for the heavy lifting of the input part of Steam Input. I believe that change is actually enabling the libUSB option for SDL because it is required for that Switch 2 controller support for now.

Great, now can it stop requiring Rosetta on Apple Silicon?

From Baldur's Gate 3 FAQ:

Rosetta is a software that allows Baldur’s Gate 3 to run on systems with Apple silicon, and ARM64 will launch the game natively on Apple silicon, without additional software for compatibility.

ARM64 marks a performance increase when playing Baldur’s Gate 3, however at this time Steam and GOG Galaxy do not support ARM64 so the ARM64 game version can not use platform features such as Cross-Save, Steam/GOG Galaxy overlay, friends lists and multiplayer invite features. Please use the Rosetta option in the Launcher to continue having full Steam and GOG Galaxy integration.

think the last time I built a 32-bit executable must have been 2 decades ago...

How about Arch linux btw?

I am looking forward to the 64bit Linux version as well. I will never game again on Windows now that Proton works as well as it does.
