I just wanted to say you have completely changed gaming for me on the steam deck. I grew up playing FPS games like call of duty on console, and the steam deck is my first ever PC gaming experience. When I first got the deck maybe 1-1.5 years ago, I bought some shooters to play on it. I remember some I bought that had aim assist felt okay (like the Borderlands games and Doom Eternal), but shooting still felt a little off. I then bought Half Life 2 which has gyro on in default control scheme and I hated it, at the time I didn't even know what gyro was. I turned gyro off then tried to bump my joystick sensitivity down to compensate for no aim asssit, but I just could not get into a good groove. In general, the FPS experience on the deck was just not for me and I was pretty disappointed since it is probably my favorite genre. I stumbled upon this video recently, and I decided to give gyro on Half Life 2 another try with your settings. After a couple hours I was hooked. I gave up way too quick the first time, but after sticking it out for a bit, aiming with gyro started to feel so smooth to the point where I actually felt more accurate than I did in my console shooting days. Thank you for opening up the FPS genre for me on the steam deck, I am excited to try some other classics after I finish Half Life 2.
Thanks for the kind words! Your experience perfectly captures why I make these videos. People are really missing out on a *much better* FPS-on-controller experience by not using the gyro imo, and this includes a lot of the bigger Steam Deck channels here on YT. Gyro can feel really awkward at first, just like any form of input that you’ve never used before can feel weird and off. (I actually used both my hands when I first operated a mouse) but like you said, with a little bit of patience and finding a comfortable enough sensitivity, it doesn’t actually take very long yo get used to gyro. I literally went from gyro hater to never being able to go back to gyro-less fps controls within 2 days.
No problem at all! I appreciate you taking the time to make your guides! Ever since I bought my steam deck, I barely ever touch my Xbox Series X; I only play FPS games on my Xbox now and have been using my deck to play RPG's and Roguelikes. But like you said, I bet after I become proficient in gyro aiming, if I tried to go play shooters on my Xbox it would feel odd without gyro. @@zerocore_
I really need to give this a try. As someone that can't play Halo Infinite worth anything without mouse, keyboard, and my external monitor, this may change the experience for me.@@zerocore_
the gyroscope works so well on the steam deck. I can't do without it for fps. I activated the gyroscope on left trigger and it becomes very natural and very close to the mouse. I recommend to everyone to activate this function in all fps
I’m so damn close to returning mine, only because their isn’t sim assist. And games like apex, I’m getting out in lobby’s with pc players and I’m getting worked. I can’t adjust trackpad sensitivity with apex either which is weird… because it works well left for dead
I remember the PS Vita using gyro to help with aiming in Killzone and Uncharted, and it worked great as an assist to such small controls. I'm excited to tweak the steam deck using this, Ion Fury is much more difficult with joysticks
It just so happens I uploaded a settings video for Ion Fury a few days ago: ua-cam.com/video/5oyb4lbAYmo/v-deo.html You should be able to find the layout in the community tab.
I use the gyor to do all of my aiming. if i turn 90 degrees the ingame camera turns 360. Most console games dont have a setting that is as high as this. only boomerang x fortnite and deathloop and counter strike go seem to do this. I use this high sensitivity in combination with flickstick. flickstick makes the stick only move horizontaly while sweeping the stick or turn in increments of 90 degrees or even 45 degrees to all sides. Gyro is for vertial and horizontal aiming and the rightstick only moves in the x axis. Uncharted on the psvita had way to low settings for me.
The reason for Valve setting the gyro to be on touch by default is that is how most people used the Steam Controller. That's actually the reason Valve added a capacitive touch sensor in the first place.
When I played Breath of the Wild with gyro I used it to help fine tune all my shots and I can never go back to just aiming with sticks anymore. Same with the bow aiming in Horizon Zero Dawn. Splatoon also helped convince me that gyro is superior since it helps so much in fine tuning your shots and accuracy
@@garrett29west tad late of a response perhaps but yep Emulators do have a function where it simulated gyro controls when clicking on the window and dragging around it, but it's quite confusing. It's enough to make all the gyro shrines possible but it can be rather frustrating.
Gyro, can offer more range of movement, but from my experience it kind of sucks on a train. It just so happens that this is where I have a lot of my playtime. For that reason, I went full in on using the trackpad for aiming instead. Definitely not as great, but better on the go. In terms of settings, I use high mouse acceleration (Wish steam valve allowed more fine-tuning here) no tracker ball and no edge spin, and together they bring a quite usable mix. The left analog stick I just use for some weapon menu (I am left-handed so, I use the left for aim and right for movement). But that's the beauty of the steam deck, it's up to user preference how you want to configure things.
Don't have a steamdeck, but it does genuinely blow my mind as well that motion controls for aiming are seen as a gimmick. The game that changed my mind on them was Ocarina of Time on the 3DS. The moment I got used to making major adjustments with the stick and precision adjustments with the gyro I thought this would be the golden standard for sure. I think at this point it's just a matter of whether or not some big shot influencer/pro picks it up.
i love gyro + trackpad. but i kill almost all vertical sensitivity on the trackpad and use gyro for vertical aim. and (for me at least) it's awesome. btw. i love the mouse dampening for ADS setup you have. im definitely going to add that. thanks for sharing
My go to for gyro activation has been left stick touch. This way everything depends on how much I am touching the left stick. This might not make as much sense for Doom which by default doesn't have the analog movement speed unless you use mouse move, but for Sea of Thieves it's been stellar
If you want to be really dirty you can use the trackpad as mouse so you can do very quick and snappy turns, and then gyro as joystick to really abuse aimassist, if the game supports mixed inputs that is. You basically get aimbot in those games, but it's perfectly legal.
I'm surprised you don't use the right track pad. With the right setting and mouse acceleration, you'll have far more precision than a stick will ever give you plus the quick turn ability that flick stick provides.
Personally I don’t see that point in that, considering the gyro is already doing a better job at quick and precision aiming than either RS or the trackpad. Also I find flick-stick more disorienting than helpful, but at the end of the day it’s all about personal preference.
@@zerocore_ I don't mean use flick stick. I'm saying the track pad gives you the combination of flick stick and better precision than stick aiming, because you can swipe your aim exactly in the direction you want to look at. Then add gyro on top of that and it's unbeatable. It does take getting use to though but once you master it it's awesome
@@zerocore_ gyro is good for fine aiming. Trackpad is better for fast turning and corse aiming. I could read a book in the time it was taking you to do 180 in this vid.
Use the steam controller doom 2016 as a template track ball mouse pad left stick and gyro combo THE GREATEST HANDS TOGETEHR AIM CONTROLS ALL TIME.. HANDS APART WILL ALWAYS BE KING THO WII REMOTE NUNCHCUK STYLE..
Tip: Someone probably already thought of doing this so you only really have to go and search a similar button layout made by the community. You could still configure it more to your liking if it's not perfect.
It might, but keep in mind that you most likely won’t be able to use the ‘as mouse’ option for most PS5 game. This feature literally sends mouse input to the game, which most console games don’t support.
Wow. I’m with you on this 💯. I’ve been doing this exact thing but in Mobile FPS games. Currently playing CoD Mobile (check my vids). I have very high on-screen sensitivity for major movements, and slow gyro sensitivity for micro adjustments. Like you I never use Aim Assist. No need for it (plus I think it’s cheating). Like you I’m also not that good on m&k but I want the speed and accuracy of m&k with a controller. I always wished controller had gyro. This is why I play mobile on an iPad, I can play with 4 fingers like a controller, plus have gyro (again check my vids!). You might do good on mobile playing 4 finger claw plus gyro, you should give it a try.
Gyro is the answer to the problems endemic to conventional controller use, particularly if you're coming from extensive use of M&KB. The Steam Deck is simply right on in this regard. Now...there's the matter of a little game known as Descent and its reboot Overload. Gyro control with 6DoF? That's the challenge.
Ahh, so lowering the sensitivity of the mouse in-game is pretty important as well as using the raw mouse setting, I've been playing games with in-game sensitivity at default which resulted in gyro being slightly more sensitivity I wish. Knowledge acquired.
It can make a huge difference. In some games if your in-game sense is too high the cursor will even skip entire pixels no matter how slowly and precise you try to aim with the gyro.
After 35 years of playing FPS games with a m+kb. Moving to a stick or pad feels like trying to roll a piece of cooked spaghetti up a muddy hill… while wearing boxing gloves. Not worth retraining my brain really.
I really appreciate and want to thank you for the time you took to research this and make this video to help others. It really is up to personal preference but your guide is a great reference point to start from and tweak from there. I had no idea about the mouse dampening feature. And putting the vertical sensitivity lower than the horizontal works really well. FPS's are really so fucking fun to play with the gyro controls. I highly recommended fans of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark to try the GEPD 1964 emulator for those games. With gyro controls it's like playing the games again for the first time. They hold up so well especially with gyro aim. Thanks for the upload was very helpful in getting Duke Nukem set up!
I don't own a steam Deck but I do use gyro on a PC for classic boomer shooters. However funnily enough, some community source ports of old games for android, have gyro, and they also work stupidly great there. I play Doom mods or Quake with a touchscreen and gyro with precision so much higher than a controller, if it wasn't for the screen layout and my touches being tracked on screen using developer options on mobile, no one would assume I'm using touch and motion on a phone.
14:24 Dude, I strongly disagree about you being completely unable to learn Flick Stick. I'm definitely older than you, and I can pick up Flick Stick fine, would much rather, in fact, have it be the default way to look around. You need to give small but frequent practice sessions, and you'll get it, age be damned. Any Doom is perfect for practicing Flick Stick, or even the modern 3rd person Resident Evils on a lower difficulty, just rethink how you turn and look around, and practice some minutes for a couple times.
I appreciate the encouragement to learn FS, but it’s not just wrapping my head around using RS as a 360 camera. The flicking itself, though even more instant than mouse flicking, is more disorienting than helpful for me. I’m also not so sure you’re older than me unless you’re in your early 40s or older. ;)
I grew up on console, but switched to PC (& KB/M) in 2013. I've lost my ability to aim in FPS games with a controller all together. The Steam controller fixed that issue for me because of the gyro. I just got a Steam Deck and the gyro feels like Steam controller 2, which is nice. I just need to get my settings down. I usually use the left analog stick to move, and the right track pad to aim when I use my Steam controller. So that's what I plan to do with the Steam Deck. For anyone reading this who wants to know IMO what the best right track pad sensitivity is for aiming, I'll make this simple. If you look at a wall in whatever game you're in, and you drag your thumb from one edge of the track pad to the other edge, your in game character should turn 180 degrees. That's always felt great to me. At very least I suggest you start there and make adjustments to see what you like.
This gentleman made a very helpful video: ua-cam.com/video/d39wPx0JBro/v-deo.html Using ZDL it’s really easy to load in mods. I played the full conversion mod Ashes Afterglow this way.
Lol welcome to wii 3ds switch gamepad wiiu welcome to 2006...the 2022 2023 oh this is new shit with gyro. With sony xbox and also many pc tatds is embarasing cringe iv gyro aimed and ONLY GYRO AIMED SINCE 2006. BACK ON PC AFTER A 5 YR BREAK just as I buy a pc steam update the steamdeck themed overlay to pc so loving adding gyro to everything I play and having hoycons pro controllers and my old steam controller added hopefully steam controller 2 this Yr.. and switch 2 next Yr pc and switch all I need I won't be getting a steam deck
I feel this tutorial was way too complicated for me. I didn’t understand what ADS and dead zones are. I’m just a simple boomer shooter enjoyer who wants to play Quake. 😅 But I appreciate the effort regardless.
For fps I set the gyro aim to one of the rear buttons (R4 is my fav) that way I can also use the gyro for hip fire and just hold it down while aiming down sights and it's amazing
You can also enable gyro to kick in only with the full press of a trigger. That way if you half push the ADS button it does not engage until you press it all the way
@KRACHDUFE yeah that's the original way I used to play but I really enjoyed having high sensitivity with ads and dampening it 25% when I pull the left trigger. It's how I'm playing fps shooters atm. It's helping me get good at flicks cause I just hold and let go of R4 to look around like it's with a mouse. It's essentially mouse flicks
Is there a way to set all this gyro stuff up by default, and then tweak things within an individual game’s Steam Input config? Context: The problem I keep running into is that, between not being able to set up a baseline experience, and games not allowing m&k input while using controller inputs (auto detect swapping from one back to the other is arguably even worse)… I’m having a really hard time getting a gyro experience that can have any consistency for me to get used to. Setting gyro up As Joystick instead of As Mouse feels teeerrible and it seems to be impossible to increase the initial sensitivity and max sensitivity to a level consistent with the As Mouse experience. The only workaround that I’m aware of is to map the buttons to m&k inputs, but then you have all these things in the UI telling you to press this (but it’s not that, because you’ve mapped your buttons to emulate keyboard inputs, so it’s just distracting you). That doesn’t seem to be a problem for most, but it really throws me off. 😮💨
Good insight, this has been a thing since the Steam controller, it is the controller I use exclusively for FPS games on PC and the same tricks carry over to the Deck. Your method here is better for games that don't have good controller support, you can also set the Gyro to joystick, I personally don't like it to always on, because then you are constantly having to keep track of your hands position. sometimes you just want to move with out the screen going all over the place because you re-situate how your sitting, what is great about this system is you make it work for you, if you are like me, you will either set the gyro activation to on touch for the joystick or the track pad if you are using that, another method I like is left trigger soft pull since aim down sights is very common a left trigger pull and this is typically when you are tying to aim more accurately, but you can still enable it without the aim down sights with a soft pull, obviously you would set the dampening to full pull in this situation. I am one that prefers the track pad when I have it set as mouse and not joystick, I have it do a track ball action with no friction and an outer ring binding set for continuous movement, what this dose is let me flick my thumb to cause the screen to turn and continue to turn until I place it back on the pad, I can move my thumb to the outer ring to have it move at a constant slower pace so emulating a joystick of sorts and have the gyro enabled on touch for fine tuning the aim at the drop of a hat, works really good on steam controller, the pads on the deck are not quite as good so I am still trying to get the same level of control, haven't quite got it yet, but it is close.
i dont really believe that people whp are to far into regular stick aiming cant learn anything new or have a hard time learning new stuff because of plastcicity of the brain. To me this theory of plasticicity is nothing other then older people who are to set in theire ways to want to learn anything new. Yes it is true that young people learn things faster because of the plasticity of the brain. but older people can still learn alot of they just let go of older patterns. i am 36 right now and i learned flick stick in half an hour. Am i really good with it? no. but i am way faster then with gyro plus sticks I use it in all of my pc games now.
Yea I dont get people who play without gyro, its like a handicap you pretty much stuck with whatever your analog stick decides it can handle. I did this on my steam controller all the time.
I like to use left trackpad as movement too since i discovered that i was more precise while using ladders in CSGO. Right trackpad as mouse gives you 1:1 mouselike feel plus allows to as fast movement as you want with trackball setting while also being quite mouselike precise
man THANK YOU VERY MUCH because I thought i wouldn't play fps on deck until I saw this... rally appreciate it. However im trying how to export these settings to another game (I tried this with CALL OF DUTY 2) and I can't find the way... could you please, help me?
Easiest way is to make a layout that has basic gyro settings you like. Then export the layout as a Template. Give it a name like ‘My gyro controls template’ or something. Now you can find it in any game you play. You may still need to tweak things a bit for each title.
@@zerocore_ Thank you again. I did this but it didn't work... once clicked "apply this layout" nothing changes. What I did is editing the "emudeck - psp settings" and now I can apply this for all the games easily, except xcloud Xbox. With xbox the character doesn't move, instead the mouse moves. hahaha" Thank you anywais again :)
I hear you, mate. This video gave me insight of how beneficial gyro aim can be. I will mos def try it out and give it a chance. I'll report back to you..
I don’t have the sensitivity option only vertical sensitivity and it’s annoying because the gyro on resident evil 7 has shit gyro in my opinion all because when you aim it moves so slowly
"haven't warmed up" I'm always the opposite, i do my best shooting in the first 30 minutes and then after that it's all downhill for me. "grandma might use it to do some tennis" My grandma played the original Call of Duty on her gaming PC back in the day, she RIP'd in 2009 though.
I was getting frustrated with the Ravenfield because of the aiming problems. After this video I will try again to get it right. And also installing Fallout 4 and doing the same with it to be able to hit anything. :D
I have now tested this and found out, that I really don't like that gyro is active at all times. But in game it was actually quite good to aim. Instead I found another advice, that only needed me to change the gyro to act as an joystick and adjust the gyros "Enhance Small Movement Precision" slider. On top of that I did adjust the right joystick sensitivity to 400% to make my aim much better.
Thanks for the positive feedback! I’m trying to do my part in making gyro a more commonly used input method. People are really missing out imo. About the weapon wheel, you can find it here: forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=61061
I accidentally turned on the Gyro for the desktop mouse. I didn't know what I was doing, and I was confused at first why my mouse would seemingly randomly move all over the place. Didn't realize the Steam deck has this functionality. I actually prefer it browsing on the internet and stuff on the desktop. I will probably adopt this functionality while playing Halo because my aim with the joystick is absolutely horrid. I'm not as young as I used to be.......
Thanks for this. Why is the button layout to keyboard mapping needed instead of just using default controller controls? Is it because some of the older fps games don't allow controller input?
It really depends on the game. Some games allow mixed input. Others don’t (CoD/Warzone) and require full keyboard and mouse mappings for this to work. My advice would be to just start with the standard controller mapping per game and see what happens when you activate the gyro/RS as mouse. Ironically a lot of boomer shooters allow full controller + M&KB controls. In this video im using analog controller input for the LS and most of the buttons are controller input instead of keyboard mappings.
@@zerocore_ makes sense. I just think that since controller controls are pretty standardized but keyboard nuances can vary by FPS game, I'm not going to remember which button to press on the controller with game specific keyboard mappings. Hopefully I'm not playing too many of those games that don't allow mixed input.
@@ashishgup keep in mind that steam input allows you to assign multiple keys to the same button. For example: you can set pressing x = reload and holding x = interact.
I play pubg mobile with gyroscope always on, 300% on dot pointer and 2x, i will love this freature for fps! Im way better with gyro than mouse, just ordered my deck :D
I got a weird problem that the gyro isn't responding as long as I use the left joystick. Any idea why? And how did you set up the slower right joystick with the left trigger?
Are you keeping your thumb on the right stick? I think out of the box the steam deck has gyro linked to right stick via a capacitor, so if your thumb is not on the stick gyro is not active.
I really love these old school like shooters like Ion Fury, Ultrakill, Dusk... but idk should I go for steam deck If only playing FPS games with mouse? I'm using gamepad only for races & indie (and third person adventure a bit)
I’m playing Dread Templar and if I set the joystick behavior to “as mouse” the weapon wheel no longer works since it only react to joystick input. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Awesome video! I've been searching on here for almost an hour, looking for a video to kinda explain the basics of gyro aiming, and this was PERFECT! One suggestion, get some sound deadening in whatever room you're recording in. It sounds like this was filmed in an all concrete jail cell! 😂
I have an issue with shooters on the steam deck where after an hour my right hand goes numb at the wrist due to using the right stick so much. Takes seconds of a break for it to go away but it's still annoying. Doom is more comfy since in the original you don't have to look up and down.
Maybe it needs to be re-calibrated. You can do this in the settings of your Steam Deck I believe. Otherwise you can do it via the Desktop version of Steam.
I love gyro, but Steam Imput it's weird to set up on PC. I'm trying to map my own custom gyro on some games but it doesn't save any changes i made while moving from option to option. Also i don't know how to access Steam Imput outside of a game (i just tab + shift while a game is running and access SI from there). Can anyone recommend a good guide to SI for begginers?
I've made it a mission in december to get used to flickstick, I spent 30-60mins a day in serious sam 3 using flick stick, after 2 weeks I was competent in using it. I've just recently completed doom 3, and going through bishock infinite using flickstick / gyro aiming - it feels so good to play. I use quite a high gyro sensitivity (x8 when using the new mouse to gyro steam input, when configured the same as flickstick.
So I just got my deck and first played HL2 on it, which, by default, has gyro on with touch of joystick or right pad. And joystick + gyro feels amazing. I've been trying trackpad + gyro and I have a lot of trouble getting used to it, if it's a fast game... maybe joystick + gyro (always on or not) is the way to go. For brutal doom it feels PERFECT at least, I've been playing too much of it haha. Thank you for those videos ! Very insightfull.
Hi, great video. Do you have your template saved and shared by any chance so I can just download it instead of setting this while thing up manually? Thanks!
Shit. Believe me, I tried this layout after your video. But this concept of "dual" aiming (one for general turning with analog, one for fine tuning with gyro) messes with my brain so much I can't get used to it and have enough after just one minute haha
you call your gyro settings fast? I test it with a 90 degree turn and with my settings the ingame camera turns 360 degrees. This whay i oonly need to turn 45 degrees to cover a big part of the screen. I do this because i need that high sensitivity for flickstick.
Ive used your settings on the GPD winmax 2. Thank you so much for this, including the turn 180 in real life should equal 2 turns with a 50% vertical is perfect. Just finished Black mesa on a handheld and i suck at controller aiming. Game changer!
Hehe! Yeah sorry about that. I did record with a lav mic, but my recorder decided to stop working half-way through the video. So what your hearing unfortunately is the in-camera mic.
My gyro is enable on right joystick and trackpad touch, and it drifts, and sometimes goes into a full spin… it’s so random though… i have set it to left joystick and even on left trigger and still. I don’t get it. It worked the first time. Now it drifts and that defeats the whole purpose for me.
I cant ro gyro always on. I love being sble to reset it a secondsry way and also be able yo aim and move separately like the bad ass one hand shooting freak the characters in my shooters tend to be. Ends up feeling like the scorpion tank in halo. Also intuitive like is and stora takes over and sets both parts in one. Havent gotten to flick stick but i suppose this wouldn't be as much of a need at all for the capacitive sticks
Youre life saver man, i was struggle with Left4Dead cuz the aiming. But now i got my aiming way more 100% better than before thank to your tutorial video ❤.
The only thing that kept me from ordering the Steam Deck was the Control without Mouse and Keyboard. I just can't aim with a Controller and move properly at the same time, please help :D
I’ve been playing games like Deus Ex and Red Faction, older PC games that have NO controller support, with great succes thanks to the gyro. The gyro = mouse. It feels just as natural and accurate. A lot of Steam Deck owners also like using the trackpad + gyro for camera controls, instead of RS. I think you can order the Steam Deck and just follow my instructions in video. :)
@@zerocore_ Wow, that's interesting, especially because Deus Ex is my alltime-favorite game :) Is it possible in Deus Ex to Drag & Drop items from your Inventar to your Quick-Inventar below? Thank you
@@fsdfmsbcxx my friend, you are in luck. I actually made a Deus Ex video showing off a control layout I made for the game others can use: ua-cam.com/video/vw2MiPULd5Y/v-deo.html
Hi there, i just bought my steam deck today... waiting anxiously for her to arrive. I have the steam controler, hands down the best controler i have and ever played. The gyro plus the toutch pad makes some one like me that used to play kb and mouse to be able to play fps with a controler. Seeing you using the joystick + gyro and looking at the steam deck layout , the trackpads looks alot smaller than my steam controler. Dont know if you have or had one but how do you feel about aiming with trackpad that small? As you sayd, now the small young people may came from playing in mobile games, and the trackpad is closer to what they are used then using the joysticks. Im just curiouse and realy anxiously to try this device. Im extremely happy with my steam controler and what valve done with him till now and thankfully people liked the Steam Deck, so maybe we can see new controlers for the future
I’ve been playing Borderlands 3. It runs really well on the Steam Deck for such a massive game. Besides the games that are already on my channel, I’ve really been loving my Steam Deck as a replacement for my Nintendo Switch. It just runs almost all Switch games way better than the Switch itself. Mario Kart 8 and SSB:U feel so much better.
I just wanted to say you have completely changed gaming for me on the steam deck. I grew up playing FPS games like call of duty on console, and the steam deck is my first ever PC gaming experience.
When I first got the deck maybe 1-1.5 years ago, I bought some shooters to play on it. I remember some I bought that had aim assist felt okay (like the Borderlands games and Doom Eternal), but shooting still felt a little off.
I then bought Half Life 2 which has gyro on in default control scheme and I hated it, at the time I didn't even know what gyro was. I turned gyro off then tried to bump my joystick sensitivity down to compensate for no aim asssit, but I just could not get into a good groove. In general, the FPS experience on the deck was just not for me and I was pretty disappointed since it is probably my favorite genre.
I stumbled upon this video recently, and I decided to give gyro on Half Life 2 another try with your settings. After a couple hours I was hooked. I gave up way too quick the first time, but after sticking it out for a bit, aiming with gyro started to feel so smooth to the point where I actually felt more accurate than I did in my console shooting days.
Thank you for opening up the FPS genre for me on the steam deck, I am excited to try some other classics after I finish Half Life 2.
Thanks for the kind words! Your experience perfectly captures why I make these videos. People are really missing out on a *much better* FPS-on-controller experience by not using the gyro imo, and this includes a lot of the bigger Steam Deck channels here on YT.
Gyro can feel really awkward at first, just like any form of input that you’ve never used before can feel weird and off. (I actually used both my hands when I first operated a mouse) but like you said, with a little bit of patience and finding a comfortable enough sensitivity, it doesn’t actually take very long yo get used to gyro. I literally went from gyro hater to never being able to go back to gyro-less fps controls within 2 days.
No problem at all! I appreciate you taking the time to make your guides!
Ever since I bought my steam deck, I barely ever touch my Xbox Series X; I only play FPS games on my Xbox now and have been using my deck to play RPG's and Roguelikes.
But like you said, I bet after I become proficient in gyro aiming, if I tried to go play shooters on my Xbox it would feel odd without gyro. @@zerocore_
I really need to give this a try. As someone that can't play Halo Infinite worth anything without mouse, keyboard, and my external monitor, this may change the experience for me.@@zerocore_
Same just bought deck tried to play half life 2 and i feel like a shmuck. Kbm has me spoiled for accuracy
@@JamFlexx I gave up and plugged in my huntsman mini keyboard (same size as the deck) and my viper ultimate mouse lol.
the gyroscope works so well on the steam deck. I can't do without it for fps. I activated the gyroscope on left trigger and it becomes very natural and very close to the mouse. I recommend to everyone to activate this function in all fps
Same thing I do. It adds the perfect precision
That's how I've been playing the Mass Effect trilogy.
Gyro on aim trigger on cod mw2 is immersive af
I was used gyro aiming with my Steam Controller, it's an amazing weapon, it still is with the Steam Deck, I love it.
I’m so damn close to returning mine, only because their isn’t sim assist. And games like apex, I’m getting out in lobby’s with pc players and I’m getting worked. I can’t adjust trackpad sensitivity with apex either which is weird… because it works well left for dead
I remember the PS Vita using gyro to help with aiming in Killzone and Uncharted, and it worked great as an assist to such small controls. I'm excited to tweak the steam deck using this, Ion Fury is much more difficult with joysticks
It just so happens I uploaded a settings video for Ion Fury a few days ago: ua-cam.com/video/5oyb4lbAYmo/v-deo.html You should be able to find the layout in the community tab.
It's even better on the Deck, the gyro is really precise. But yeah it was great on the Vita too.
yikes, yeah i couldn't play that game with controller.
I use the gyor to do all of my aiming. if i turn 90 degrees the ingame camera turns 360. Most console games dont have a setting that is as high as this. only boomerang x fortnite and deathloop and counter strike go seem to do this. I use this high sensitivity in combination with flickstick. flickstick makes the stick only move horizontaly while sweeping the stick or turn in increments of 90 degrees or even 45 degrees to all sides. Gyro is for vertial and horizontal aiming and the rightstick only moves in the x axis. Uncharted on the psvita had way to low settings for me.
The reason for Valve setting the gyro to be on touch by default is that is how most people used the Steam Controller. That's actually the reason Valve added a capacitive touch sensor in the first place.
When I played Breath of the Wild with gyro I used it to help fine tune all my shots and I can never go back to just aiming with sticks anymore. Same with the bow aiming in Horizon Zero Dawn. Splatoon also helped convince me that gyro is superior since it helps so much in fine tuning your shots and accuracy
Did this make it possible to do motion control parts in shrines?
Yup, playing Forbidden West on PS5 makes all other game feels primitive as shit. Gyro Aim is the future of gaming.
@@garrett29west tad late of a response perhaps but yep
Emulators do have a function where it simulated gyro controls when clicking on the window and dragging around it, but it's quite confusing.
It's enough to make all the gyro shrines possible but it can be rather frustrating.
Gyro, can offer more range of movement, but from my experience it kind of sucks on a train. It just so happens that this is where I have a lot of my playtime.
For that reason, I went full in on using the trackpad for aiming instead. Definitely not as great, but better on the go.
In terms of settings, I use high mouse acceleration (Wish steam valve allowed more fine-tuning here) no tracker ball and no edge spin, and together they bring a quite usable mix.
The left analog stick I just use for some weapon menu (I am left-handed so, I use the left for aim and right for movement).
But that's the beauty of the steam deck, it's up to user preference how you want to configure things.
I think this is a great trip for people who are playing while in a moving vehicle. I’ll pin it for visibility.
When I'm on a train I know I for one prefer to use my Oculus headset and controllers. Just my opinion.
@@ba_charlesyou play pc games on a train on an oculus?
@@donkey7921 yeah sure he does hahaha
Make a tutorial already bro! I'm sure there'll be people out there who need this
Don't have a steamdeck, but it does genuinely blow my mind as well that motion controls for aiming are seen as a gimmick.
The game that changed my mind on them was Ocarina of Time on the 3DS. The moment I got used to making major adjustments with the stick and precision adjustments with the gyro I thought this would be the golden standard for sure.
I think at this point it's just a matter of whether or not some big shot influencer/pro picks it up.
i love gyro + trackpad. but i kill almost all vertical sensitivity on the trackpad and use gyro for vertical aim. and (for me at least) it's awesome. btw. i love the mouse dampening for ADS setup you have. im definitely going to add that. thanks for sharing
My go to for gyro activation has been left stick touch. This way everything depends on how much I am touching the left stick. This might not make as much sense for Doom which by default doesn't have the analog movement speed unless you use mouse move, but for Sea of Thieves it's been stellar
If you want to be really dirty you can use the trackpad as mouse so you can do very quick and snappy turns, and then gyro as joystick to really abuse aimassist, if the game supports mixed inputs that is.
You basically get aimbot in those games, but it's perfectly legal.
Tbh early on in my Gyro journey I found that AA was more in my way than it was helping me. I always turn it off nowadays.
I'm surprised you don't use the right track pad. With the right setting and mouse acceleration, you'll have far more precision than a stick will ever give you plus the quick turn ability that flick stick provides.
Personally I don’t see that point in that, considering the gyro is already doing a better job at quick and precision aiming than either RS or the trackpad. Also I find flick-stick more disorienting than helpful, but at the end of the day it’s all about personal preference.
@@zerocore_ I don't mean use flick stick. I'm saying the track pad gives you the combination of flick stick and better precision than stick aiming, because you can swipe your aim exactly in the direction you want to look at. Then add gyro on top of that and it's unbeatable. It does take getting use to though but once you master it it's awesome
@@zerocore_ gyro is good for fine aiming. Trackpad is better for fast turning and corse aiming. I could read a book in the time it was taking you to do 180 in this vid.
Use the steam controller doom 2016 as a template track ball mouse pad left stick and gyro combo THE GREATEST HANDS TOGETEHR AIM CONTROLS ALL TIME.. HANDS APART WILL ALWAYS BE KING THO WII REMOTE NUNCHCUK STYLE..

Tip: Someone probably already thought of doing this so you only really have to go and search a similar button layout made by the community. You could still configure it more to your liking if it's not perfect.
Luckily not everyone thinks like that, which means there's a good range of choices out there.
Thanks for the explanation and showcase. I’ll be copying the layout and tweaking it to my liking.
FlickStick: quite REVOLUTIONary in its concept.
Great vid! Love seeing more people embrace and preach the good word of gyro aiming and Steam Input.
Thank you for the video! Does this work with streaming? For example, PS5 remote play to the steam deck?
It might, but keep in mind that you most likely won’t be able to use the ‘as mouse’ option for most PS5 game. This feature literally sends mouse input to the game, which most console games don’t support.
Wow. I’m with you on this 💯. I’ve been doing this exact thing but in Mobile FPS games. Currently playing CoD Mobile (check my vids). I have very high on-screen sensitivity for major movements, and slow gyro sensitivity for micro adjustments. Like you I never use Aim Assist. No need for it (plus I think it’s cheating).
Like you I’m also not that good on m&k but I want the speed and accuracy of m&k with a controller. I always wished controller had gyro.
This is why I play mobile on an iPad, I can play with 4 fingers like a controller, plus have gyro (again check my vids!).
You might do good on mobile playing 4 finger claw plus gyro, you should give it a try.
That was a fantastic tutorial. Thank you! I spent a lot of time looking for a decent one and this was exactly what I was looking for.
Gyro is the answer to the problems endemic to conventional controller use, particularly if you're coming from extensive use of M&KB. The Steam Deck is simply right on in this regard. Now...there's the matter of a little game known as Descent and its reboot Overload. Gyro control with 6DoF? That's the challenge.
Ahh, so lowering the sensitivity of the mouse in-game is pretty important as well as using the raw mouse setting, I've been playing games with in-game sensitivity at default which resulted in gyro being slightly more sensitivity I wish. Knowledge acquired.
It can make a huge difference. In some games if your in-game sense is too high the cursor will even skip entire pixels no matter how slowly and precise you try to aim with the gyro.
After 35 years of playing FPS games with a m+kb. Moving to a stick or pad feels like trying to roll a piece of cooked spaghetti up a muddy hill… while wearing boxing gloves. Not worth retraining my brain really.
I really appreciate and want to thank you for the time you took to research this and make this video to help others. It really is up to personal preference but your guide is a great reference point to start from and tweak from there. I had no idea about the mouse dampening feature. And putting the vertical sensitivity lower than the horizontal works really well. FPS's are really so fucking fun to play with the gyro controls. I highly recommended fans of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark to try the GEPD 1964 emulator for those games. With gyro controls it's like playing the games again for the first time. They hold up so well especially with gyro aim. Thanks for the upload was very helpful in getting Duke Nukem set up!
I don't own a steam Deck but I do use gyro on a PC for classic boomer shooters.
However funnily enough, some community source ports of old games for android, have gyro, and they also work stupidly great there. I play Doom mods or Quake with a touchscreen and gyro with precision so much higher than a controller, if it wasn't for the screen layout and my touches being tracked on screen using developer options on mobile, no one would assume I'm using touch and motion on a phone.
Yeah gz doom vertical sensitivity is twice as fast. I have to half it even before I played doom rpg se balance on steam deck. Gonna try this today.
@the zero
can you link a video to create the doom 2 setup that you have running?
14:24 Dude, I strongly disagree about you being completely unable to learn Flick Stick. I'm definitely older than you, and I can pick up Flick Stick fine, would much rather, in fact, have it be the default way to look around. You need to give small but frequent practice sessions, and you'll get it, age be damned. Any Doom is perfect for practicing Flick Stick, or even the modern 3rd person Resident Evils on a lower difficulty, just rethink how you turn and look around, and practice some minutes for a couple times.
I appreciate the encouragement to learn FS, but it’s not just wrapping my head around using RS as a 360 camera. The flicking itself, though even more instant than mouse flicking, is more disorienting than helpful for me.
I’m also not so sure you’re older than me unless you’re in your early 40s or older. ;)
Record how you play CS:GO :)
Maybe when CS2 is out ;)
I grew up on console, but switched to PC (& KB/M) in 2013. I've lost my ability to aim in FPS games with a controller all together. The Steam controller fixed that issue for me because of the gyro. I just got a Steam Deck and the gyro feels like Steam controller 2, which is nice. I just need to get my settings down. I usually use the left analog stick to move, and the right track pad to aim when I use my Steam controller. So that's what I plan to do with the Steam Deck. For anyone reading this who wants to know IMO what the best right track pad sensitivity is for aiming, I'll make this simple. If you look at a wall in whatever game you're in, and you drag your thumb from one edge of the track pad to the other edge, your in game character should turn 180 degrees. That's always felt great to me. At very least I suggest you start there and make adjustments to see what you like.
how did you get Brutal Doom to run on Steam deck?
This gentleman made a very helpful video: ua-cam.com/video/d39wPx0JBro/v-deo.html
Using ZDL it’s really easy to load in mods. I played the full conversion mod Ashes Afterglow this way.
Lol welcome to wii 3ds switch gamepad wiiu welcome to 2006...the 2022 2023 oh this is new shit with gyro. With sony xbox and also many pc tatds is embarasing cringe iv gyro aimed and ONLY GYRO AIMED SINCE 2006. BACK ON PC AFTER A 5 YR BREAK just as I buy a pc steam update the steamdeck themed overlay to pc so loving adding gyro to everything I play and having hoycons pro controllers and my old steam controller added hopefully steam controller 2 this Yr.. and switch 2 next Yr pc and switch all I need I won't be getting a steam deck
I feel this tutorial was way too complicated for me. I didn’t understand what ADS and dead zones are. I’m just a simple boomer shooter enjoyer who wants to play Quake. 😅 But I appreciate the effort regardless.
For fps I set the gyro aim to one of the rear buttons (R4 is my fav) that way I can also use the gyro for hip fire and just hold it down while aiming down sights and it's amazing
You can also enable gyro to kick in only with the full press of a trigger. That way if you half push the ADS button it does not engage until you press it all the way
@KRACHDUFE yeah that's the original way I used to play but I really enjoyed having high sensitivity with ads and dampening it 25% when I pull the left trigger. It's how I'm playing fps shooters atm. It's helping me get good at flicks cause I just hold and let go of R4 to look around like it's with a mouse. It's essentially mouse flicks
Is there a way to set all this gyro stuff up by default, and then tweak things within an individual game’s Steam Input config?
Context: The problem I keep running into is that, between not being able to set up a baseline experience, and games not allowing m&k input while using controller inputs (auto detect swapping from one back to the other is arguably even worse)… I’m having a really hard time getting a gyro experience that can have any consistency for me to get used to. Setting gyro up As Joystick instead of As Mouse feels teeerrible and it seems to be impossible to increase the initial sensitivity and max sensitivity to a level consistent with the As Mouse experience. The only workaround that I’m aware of is to map the buttons to m&k inputs, but then you have all these things in the UI telling you to press this (but it’s not that, because you’ve mapped your buttons to emulate keyboard inputs, so it’s just distracting you). That doesn’t seem to be a problem for most, but it really throws me off. 😮💨
Hi. How to turn 180 instantly on steam deck? Is there a way?
Thanks for this man! Ordered my Deck and learning as much as I can until it arrives c:
Good insight, this has been a thing since the Steam controller, it is the controller I use exclusively for FPS games on PC and the same tricks carry over to the Deck. Your method here is better for games that don't have good controller support, you can also set the Gyro to joystick, I personally don't like it to always on, because then you are constantly having to keep track of your hands position. sometimes you just want to move with out the screen going all over the place because you re-situate how your sitting, what is great about this system is you make it work for you, if you are like me, you will either set the gyro activation to on touch for the joystick or the track pad if you are using that, another method I like is left trigger soft pull since aim down sights is very common a left trigger pull and this is typically when you are tying to aim more accurately, but you can still enable it without the aim down sights with a soft pull, obviously you would set the dampening to full pull in this situation. I am one that prefers the track pad when I have it set as mouse and not joystick, I have it do a track ball action with no friction and an outer ring binding set for continuous movement, what this dose is let me flick my thumb to cause the screen to turn and continue to turn until I place it back on the pad, I can move my thumb to the outer ring to have it move at a constant slower pace so emulating a joystick of sorts and have the gyro enabled on touch for fine tuning the aim at the drop of a hat, works really good on steam controller, the pads on the deck are not quite as good so I am still trying to get the same level of control, haven't quite got it yet, but it is close.
Fantastic comment! I’ll be trying some of the things you mentioned. Very insightful.
Great intructional video! Helped me tune my own settings. Thanks :)
It sounds like you're recording the audio in a tunnel! That's kinda wild!
Haha! Let’s just say the room I recorded in is kind of large.
@@zerocore_ No worries!
Is the mic small, too, or multi-directional? A one-way mic might fix this alone, FWIW.
@@Greydawg I was actually wearing a lav mic, but it decided to break while recording believe it or not, so I ended up using the in-camera mic.
Tbh, i can aim better in cod mobile than i can a console, the touch screen with gyro is so much better imo.
I can't play any first person shooters on my steamdeck since my aiming is just so bad. I will try this out and see if it will work for me. Thanks!
Bro you know a Game named Selaco? You should try It, i think you gonna LOVE It , there IS a demo on steam , also you can make a video about it ;)
Dude you’re the man for this. It completely transforms the game lol this is insane!
Is there a way to get gyro to only activate when holding down L2? If so, how do you program that?
Yes. go to the gyro setting and set ‘active gyro button’ to Left Trigger Soft/Full pull
this is working perfectly for me
i dont really believe that people whp are to far into regular stick aiming cant learn anything new or have a hard time learning new stuff because of plastcicity of the brain. To me this theory of plasticicity is nothing other then older people who are to set in theire ways to want to learn anything new. Yes it is true that young people learn things faster because of the plasticity of the brain. but older people can still learn alot of they just let go of older patterns. i am 36 right now and i learned flick stick in half an hour. Am i really good with it? no. but i am way faster then with gyro plus sticks
I use it in all of my pc games now.
Waiting for my steam deck and really glad that you shared the info, will try it out.
Awesome! I’m sure you’ll love you Steam Deck. Let me know if you run into any issues.
Yea I dont get people who play without gyro, its like a handicap you pretty much stuck with whatever your analog stick decides it can handle. I did this on my steam controller all the time.
It's way more accurate using right trackpad as mouse and D-pad as WASD. Gyro can then be attached to right trackpad or left trigger.
I’m not sure how that makes it more accurate, but whatever works for you.
@@zerocore_ using right trackpad to aim is much more closer to mouse precision than using the thumbstick. But you're right, use what's comfortable
I like to use left trackpad as movement too since i discovered that i was more precise while using ladders in CSGO. Right trackpad as mouse gives you 1:1 mouselike feel plus allows to as fast movement as you want with trackball setting while also being quite mouselike precise
@@equaltemper you're 100 percent correct the trackpad is another game changer
This is working without any problems guys
Bro new steam update made the controller bad I can't play anymore with gyro I don't know why it doesn't work anymore
Microphone sounds like God is speaking to me 😂
man THANK YOU VERY MUCH because I thought i wouldn't play fps on deck until I saw this... rally appreciate it. However im trying how to export these settings to another game (I tried this with CALL OF DUTY 2) and I can't find the way... could you please, help me?
Easiest way is to make a layout that has basic gyro settings you like. Then export the layout as a Template. Give it a name like ‘My gyro controls template’ or something. Now you can find it in any game you play. You may still need to tweak things a bit for each title.
@@zerocore_ Thank you again. I did this but it didn't work... once clicked "apply this layout" nothing changes. What I did is editing the "emudeck - psp settings" and now I can apply this for all the games easily, except xcloud Xbox. With xbox the character doesn't move, instead the mouse moves. hahaha" Thank you anywais again :)
Just used these they are awesome and great for grinding yen and stars. Superb video man!
It baffles me that most ps5 fps games still dont support the gyro built into the dualsense
Updated guide please? The settings menu has changed since this video
I tried using gyro while on a rollercoaster, it didn’t work very well
I hear you, mate. This video gave me insight of how beneficial gyro aim can be. I will mos def try it out and give it a chance. I'll report back to you..
He did not in fact, report back to him
I don’t have the sensitivity option only vertical sensitivity and it’s annoying because the gyro on resident evil 7 has shit gyro in my opinion all because when you aim it moves so slowly
I sorted it. I made a community set
"haven't warmed up" I'm always the opposite, i do my best shooting in the first 30 minutes and then after that it's all downhill for me.
"grandma might use it to do some tennis" My grandma played the original Call of Duty on her gaming PC back in the day, she RIP'd in 2009 though.
I was getting frustrated with the Ravenfield because of the aiming problems. After this video I will try again to get it right.
And also installing Fallout 4 and doing the same with it to be able to hit anything. :D
I have now tested this and found out, that I really don't like that gyro is active at all times. But in game it was actually quite good to aim.
Instead I found another advice, that only needed me to change the gyro to act as an joystick and adjust the gyros "Enhance Small Movement Precision" slider.
On top of that I did adjust the right joystick sensitivity to 400% to make my aim much better.
What game is this? I think it’s doom but what version
Very good explanation of the possibilities of gyro and Steam Input. One question though: where did you get that weapon wheel?
Thanks for the positive feedback! I’m trying to do my part in making gyro a more commonly used input method. People are really missing out imo. About the weapon wheel, you can find it here: forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=61061
I accidentally turned on the Gyro for the desktop mouse. I didn't know what I was doing, and I was confused at first why my mouse would seemingly randomly move all over the place. Didn't realize the Steam deck has this functionality. I actually prefer it browsing on the internet and stuff on the desktop. I will probably adopt this functionality while playing Halo because my aim with the joystick is absolutely horrid. I'm not as young as I used to be.......
Thanks for this. Why is the button layout to keyboard mapping needed instead of just using default controller controls? Is it because some of the older fps games don't allow controller input?
It really depends on the game. Some games allow mixed input. Others don’t (CoD/Warzone) and require full keyboard and mouse mappings for this to work. My advice would be to just start with the standard controller mapping per game and see what happens when you activate the gyro/RS as mouse.
Ironically a lot of boomer shooters allow full controller + M&KB controls. In this video im using analog controller input for the LS and most of the buttons are controller input instead of keyboard mappings.
@@zerocore_ makes sense. I just think that since controller controls are pretty standardized but keyboard nuances can vary by FPS game, I'm not going to remember which button to press on the controller with game specific keyboard mappings. Hopefully I'm not playing too many of those games that don't allow mixed input.
Fyi I'm using this tutorial for dualsense + pc + 4k hdmi 2.1 tv. Trying to play fps on the couch lol
@@ashishgup keep in mind that steam input allows you to assign multiple keys to the same button. For example: you can set pressing x = reload and holding x = interact.
@@ashishgup I play my PC and a Steam Deck from my TV all the time! It works great!
I play pubg mobile with gyroscope always on, 300% on dot pointer and 2x, i will love this freature for fps! Im way better with gyro than mouse, just ordered my deck :D
thanks for the great video
I got a weird problem that the gyro isn't responding as long as I use the left joystick. Any idea why? And how did you set up the slower right joystick with the left trigger?
Are you keeping your thumb on the right stick? I think out of the box the steam deck has gyro linked to right stick via a capacitor, so if your thumb is not on the stick gyro is not active.
@@garretts.2003 keeping my thumb on the stick. At least it works when I set up the gyro as a stick and not as a mouse.
Anyone who thinks the wii was a gimmick is a clown
Thanks for the tutorial man, i'll try using this on Half Life Black Mesa.
Hope my tutorial is helpful to you. :) I played Black Mesa with a similar setup and it worked great!
I really love these old school like shooters like Ion Fury, Ultrakill, Dusk... but idk should I go for steam deck If only playing FPS games with mouse?
I'm using gamepad only for races & indie (and third person adventure a bit)
I tried gyro on Steam Deck with Horizon Zero Dawn. It keeps drifting and it’s hard to find the view center even when it seems to work.
I’m playing Dread Templar and if I set the joystick behavior to “as mouse” the weapon wheel no longer works since it only react to joystick input. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Awesome video! I've been searching on here for almost an hour, looking for a video to kinda explain the basics of gyro aiming, and this was PERFECT!
One suggestion, get some sound deadening in whatever room you're recording in. It sounds like this was filmed in an all concrete jail cell! 😂
I have an issue with shooters on the steam deck where after an hour my right hand goes numb at the wrist due to using the right stick so much. Takes seconds of a break for it to go away but it's still annoying. Doom is more comfy since in the original you don't have to look up and down.
Is the gyro broken since the update for u guys? Mine just turns left and doesn’t stop
Maybe it needs to be re-calibrated. You can do this in the settings of your Steam Deck I believe. Otherwise you can do it via the Desktop version of Steam.
I love gyro, but Steam Imput it's weird to set up on PC. I'm trying to map my own custom gyro on some games but it doesn't save any changes i made while moving from option to option. Also i don't know how to access Steam Imput outside of a game (i just tab + shift while a game is running and access SI from there).
Can anyone recommend a good guide to SI for begginers?
I've made it a mission in december to get used to flickstick, I spent 30-60mins a day in serious sam 3 using flick stick, after 2 weeks I was competent in using it. I've just recently completed doom 3, and going through bishock infinite using flickstick / gyro aiming - it feels so good to play. I use quite a high gyro sensitivity (x8 when using the new mouse to gyro steam input, when configured the same as flickstick.
So I just got my deck and first played HL2 on it, which, by default, has gyro on with touch of joystick or right pad. And joystick + gyro feels amazing. I've been trying trackpad + gyro and I have a lot of trouble getting used to it, if it's a fast game... maybe joystick + gyro (always on or not) is the way to go. For brutal doom it feels PERFECT at least, I've been playing too much of it haha. Thank you for those videos ! Very insightfull.
Hi, great video. Do you have your template saved and shared by any chance so I can just download it instead of setting this while thing up manually? Thanks!
Shit. Believe me, I tried this layout after your video. But this concept of "dual" aiming (one for general turning with analog, one for fine tuning with gyro) messes with my brain so much I can't get used to it and have enough after just one minute haha
you call your gyro settings fast? I test it with a 90 degree turn and with my settings the ingame camera turns 360 degrees. This whay i oonly need to turn 45 degrees to cover a big part of the screen. I do this because i need that high sensitivity for flickstick.
Great video. needs more views.
Ive used your settings on the GPD winmax 2. Thank you so much for this, including the turn 180 in real life should equal 2 turns with a 50% vertical is perfect.
Just finished Black mesa on a handheld and i suck at controller aiming. Game changer!
Fantastic video! Are there any updated instructions or notes for the new "Gyro To Mouse [Beta]" mode on the Steam Deck?

Hehe! Yeah sorry about that. I did record with a lav mic, but my recorder decided to stop working half-way through the video. So what your hearing unfortunately is the in-camera mic.
MX Anywhere 2S. Bluetooth mouse that works perfect for FPS games. One hand on the stick other on the mouse.
My gyro is enable on right joystick and trackpad touch, and it drifts, and sometimes goes into a full spin… it’s so random though… i have set it to left joystick and even on left trigger and still. I don’t get it. It worked the first time. Now it drifts and that defeats the whole purpose for me.
I cant ro gyro always on. I love being sble to reset it a secondsry way and also be able yo aim and move separately like the bad ass one hand shooting freak the characters in my shooters tend to be.
Ends up feeling like the scorpion tank in halo. Also intuitive like is and stora takes over and sets both parts in one.
Havent gotten to flick stick but i suppose this wouldn't be as much of a need at all for the capacitive sticks
Youre life saver man, i was struggle with Left4Dead cuz the aiming. But now i got my aiming way more 100% better than before thank to your tutorial video ❤.
Gyro feels just as good as mouse and keyboard. It's a shame most console gamers shun gyro as a "gimmick". I won't play a shooter without gyro.
Motion aim it's really nice, even on the Switch, I'm kind of amazed PS4 doesn't support motionn aiming for the most part.
The only thing that kept me from ordering the Steam Deck was the Control without Mouse and Keyboard. I just can't aim with a Controller and move properly at the same time, please help :D
I’ve been playing games like Deus Ex and Red Faction, older PC games that have NO controller support, with great succes thanks to the gyro. The gyro = mouse. It feels just as natural and accurate.

Hi there, i just bought my steam deck today... waiting anxiously for her to arrive.
I have the steam controler, hands down the best controler i have and ever played. The gyro plus the toutch pad makes some one like me that used to play kb and mouse to be able to play fps with a controler.
Seeing you using the joystick + gyro and looking at the steam deck layout , the trackpads looks alot smaller than my steam controler. Dont know if you have or had one but how do you feel about aiming with trackpad that small? As you sayd, now the small young people may came from playing in mobile games, and the trackpad is closer to what they are used then using the joysticks. Im just curiouse and realy anxiously to try this device.
Im extremely happy with my steam controler and what valve done with him till now and thankfully people liked the Steam Deck, so maybe we can see new controlers for the future
I remember playing Portal 2 with gyro on PS3 back in the days. Now that I have the deck I need to get used to it again.
What are some of your favorite games so far?
I’ve been playing Borderlands 3. It runs really well on the Steam Deck for such a massive game. Besides the games that are already on my channel, I’ve really been loving my Steam Deck as a replacement for my Nintendo Switch. It just runs almost all Switch games way better than the Switch itself. Mario Kart 8 and SSB:U feel so much better.
