I wasn't sure which paddles SDL thinks is which, so test on actual hardware.

Also, thoseawesomeguys.com's prompts has a "square" button that is probably meant to be the back button, but isn't what anything on the controller looks like (I think...?).

Easy explanation - prompt's page mentions that they were last updated in 2021 and Steam Deck hasn't been actually released until 2022, so these icons were drawn using only official footage as the reference. In the announcement video (August 2021) and promotional renders of the device that are still available online there is a button on the device that has a square on it, also visible in several menus. (also there are several prototype Decks in the video with buttons of completely different shapes if you look closely but shh) chrome_2023-12-04_10-56-52

Seems to be a change made just a couple months away from the release, as that button is still visible in the "Introducing Deck Verified video" from mid-October 2021, with the first appearance of the final icon being mid-November 2021, with "square" becoming "View button" chrome_2023-12-04_10-59-21

Square was still visible in places in retail devices as can be seen in guides written way past Deck's street date like in this one from May 2022

Will try to submit a proper version of the button icon some time soon.
