• I have a steamdeck and just could not get used to gyro, i hatdd jt so much. But the steamdeck is heavy and i usually have it resting on a pillow or something so i dont have to support the full weight. Also the screen moving whenever you move gyro bothered me a lot, i dont want to have to be moving my neck and arms around to play a game. I could see it being a lot better with just a controller and a screen in fixed position though, but i like to play games in handheld mode and i think itd be frustrating switching back and forth.

      Yeah I’ve never had a great time with it when it involves moving the screen you’re using ie the switch, vita and wii u. But still find the precision much better than stick alone.

      You’ve got to remember that the gyro is just for precision movements, not the wide spread sweeps (outside of occasional reactionary ones). The stick should still be the primary way to move the camera. Like, stick to position to the enemy, then gyro to precisely aim for the head, kind of deal.

      And just like mouse and stick sensitivity, everyone will have their preferred sensitivity for gyro to, which can take a little bit of experimenting to begin with when trying it out properly for the first time.

      Don’t strike it out completely yet. You might just want it to be at a lower sensitivity and still prioritise the stick and just use the gyro for those small readjustments.

      • Yeah idk, i tried it wirh spec ops and hated it, but the aiming in that game felt weird no matter what, i disliked it with the touchpads too, and ended up just using the joystick which i barely ever do for anything that involves aiming. Ive heard Doom 2016 is a good one to try it out on so maybe ill try that, i just do like to have the steamdeck resting and pretty firmly planted on something when im playing to rest my arms.
