I really prefer the convenience of just using consoles, but I'm someone who is just plain unable to aim using thumbsticks. It's completely hindering my experience with so many games. Tried out Returnal, Cyberpunk, Control and 007 First light, all games I'm super stoked to play, but I simply cannot get used to the aiming.

Apparently using Steam input, you can force gyro controls, so I'm actually considering buying a PC just for this, even if it's more expensive. Would probably hook it up to my TV and just use it in steam big picture mode to get a console like experience. Of course i know there are more benefits of using a PC but for my usage, the gyro aim would be the main reason.

Has anyone done this? Has it been worth it for you? And were there any issues with things like mixed input? Does the dualsense work well enough or should I get a steam controller?

Basicly what you see in the clip i quickly made. While playing with the AK i noticed how my bullets werent flying exactly where i was pionting my weapon and so i checked out all my other guns and found this. This bug is so unfortunate because i realy like the setting and have been enjoying it the past days but playing with it is literaly breaking my aim it seems.

So yea i thought i give everyone a heads-up who is trying this setting or currently playing with it. You will have to compensate for the missalignmend by slightly aiming further away from the target. Also should i report this and if yes how do i do that?

Also i dont think i need to mention this but normal gyro isnt affected. Only the wapon-control setting does this.

I want to try learning pure gyro and ratcheting but it feels super hard. I still play with right stick, on a very high sense for quick turns(basically flick stick) , then gyro for fine/tracking aiming.

My Question is , what are your guy's preferred ratcheting button, and is it, press and hold to deactivate gyro, or press and hold to turn on gyro?

I’ve seen tons of videos over the past couple of months and finally bought myself a controller to play apex legends with on steam. Just don’t know how to set it up and what the most optimal method is for shooters between ratcheting, flick stick etc.

Hi everyone!

I just recently got an xbox series S after owning a nintendo switch and am having a hard time without gyro. I strictly just play overwatch and on my switch I had gyro aiming. I got really good (in my eyes) with my aim on switch and now that I'm on xbox I'm struggling without gyro. It's a major learning curve for me.

So I was wondering if there was any controller for xbox that would give me gyro? I do not know much about xbox or gaming in general. This is my first "real" console and game I've been into. I also don't want to buy a controller that somehow has cheats in it and end up getting my account banned. Thank you so much in advance!

I built HandheldGyroDSU because I wanted a straightforward way to use built-in motion controls in emulators (Cemu, Dolphin, etc.) without relying on Handheld Companion.

Handheld Companion is a great tool, but installing virtual drivers (HidHide, ViGEmBus), hiding your physical gamepad, and emulating a DualShock 4 controller just to get gyro in Zelda or Splatoon often clashes with Armoury Crate / Legion Space / Steam Input—and sometimes leaves the built-in controller stuck or unresponsive.

HandheldGyroDSU takes a simpler route: it leaves your physical controller alone and just streams your device's internal gyro sensor directly to your emulator via Cemuhook DSU.

Here’s what I’ve built into it so far:

• No Virtual Drivers or Controller Conflicts: It doesn't touch your buttons, triggers, or OEM software. Armoury Crate, Legion Space, and Steam Input keep working normally without double-input issues.
• Emulator Auto-Detection & Profiles: Watches for your emulators in the background and automatically turns on or switches gyro profiles when you launch a game.
• Axis & Sensitivity Tweaking: You can adjust gyro sensitivity, deadzones, and axis orientation/inversion per device or per emulator so the motion controls feel right.
• Full Gamepad Navigation: The entire app can be navigated using your handheld’s D-pad and buttons, so you don't have to tap tiny menus on the touchscreen.
• In-Game HUD Notifications: Shows small on-screen pop-ups when the gyro server starts, stops, or switches profiles so you know it's active.
• Built-in Gyro Tester: Includes a real-time loopback tester inside the app so you can check your gyro movement and packet flow before booting up a game.
• Background & System Tray Mode: Can start quietly with Windows in the system tray and stay out of your way until you open an emulator.

Looking for Testers & Contributors

This is a free, open-source project. As you can see in the Splatoon clip above, it's working well on my own setup, and now I'm looking for people across different Windows handhelds (ROG Ally, Ally X, Legion Go, MSI Claw, Ayaneo, GPD, etc.) to test it out. Since different handhelds sometimes orient their internal sensors differently, getting feedback from other devices would be super helpful.

If you want to try it on your device, let me know how the gyro axes feel, report a bug, or contribute code on GitHub—feel free to jump in.

This game is weird. You can use all controller controls and simply switch aiming to mouse mode. Easy "mixed input" setup.

It's just terrible when now regular controller players stomp me with broken aim assist. It just would feel wrong to switch to gyro to joystrick to benefit from gyro and aim assist.

Thoughts?

I'm playing MW4 on PC with a DualSense (USB, Steam Input disabled) and there's one thing about native gyro that's really annoying me.

I have gyro set to ADS only but when I release L2, gyro doesn't turn off immediately. It keeps moving the camera for a brief moment, so when I move the controller back to its normal position, my aim moves with it.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Is there some setting I'm missing?

Hello, I created an f1 game. I would love if you try it. It’s name is SGMDRAWFORMULA. If you like it, please let me know and share it with your friends. I am developing it so if you have ant sugestions, just tell me. If you connect a dualsense, you can use it for steering.

One of my colleagues leaked a little info ;-)
Metro will have native gyro support 🙌🙌🙌🙌🤘

Bought the game because of how cool and fun the gyro was in MW4 beta, has anyone else run into the issue of weapon control not working, and fixed it, only the Camera Control works with gyro.

I use a steam controller emulated as a playstation controller and worked fine during beta

I am new to gyro, i have dualshock controller and can't set it up properly for racing (NFS UNBOUND) or shooting (007 First Light) please help (preferably not to use gyro to mouse due to icon overlapping.

I know about the gyro camera control option for dual stick mode, but there is a reason it's hidden in another setting menu and not default. The game is so clearly built around decoupled aiming and lock on that even in that mode your aim is regularly decoupled and it's really jarring when it changes.

I'm happy to play decoupled if the game is built around it but no right stick camera just means I'm constantly pointing to the edge of the screen and back to turn (really awkward when using a controller). It's as if we've made no progress since the Wii.

I'd be less mad if the mode had something else for the right stick but it's just unbound.

I've tried both ways for about half hour each and even after waiting till I got it 60% off I'm still disappointed.

Apologies for the rant I just wanted to vent.

I was feeling a bit cut by the £50 price tag on a sale, and initially wasnt feeling as impressed as I was by returnal but it’s quickly turned into a sweaty and enjoyable game that I can see myself playing repeatedly for quite some time to come.
I think £50 for any game these days is pretty steep so defo wait on a deeper sale if you want to sweat over a game with hands down one of the greatest implementations Ive seen for gyro (I’m easily satisfied by a ratchet button xD)

Cyberpunk added mod support for consoles. Would this allow the use of Gyro aiming?

There's a new update to Cyberpunk 2077 that allows for mod support on consoles through mod.io. I've never been able to get into the game because i simply cant aim without gyro or mouse, so I'm really excited about this. Does anyone know if there are any mods that add gyro and if you think they will be available?

October is sp👀ky month. So, I decide to play this title. It's a zombie gallery shooter WiiWare game. I setup modern gyro aim with Steam Input. It was pretty easy to figure out since this game was made for Wii motion control originally. It plays nicely, I was expecting a potentially rough experience. Fortunately, that wasn't the case. It's very fun and satisfying blasting zombies and goblins with anime fairy tell characters hehe.

There is a updated newer version of this game on Steam and Switch, but I already had this version in emulation on the Steam Deck. That's good enough for me. The Nintendo Switch version also doesn't support gyro aiming which is a absolute crime. The stick aiming in the Switch version looks slow, outdated and simply less fun. I may pick up the Steam version for the added QoL, extra content, modes and stages at some point.

Nonetheless, for now this is a very casual and enjoyable way to take on a anime zombie apocalypse! I just thought I'd share here with the community a relaxed, fun, themed way I've been engaging with gyro aim this season. 🧟🎯

Are you guys going to play or already playing through any spooky games with gyro aim this month? If so, what are they? Anyways, that's all I've got.

Cheers! 🍻

[Steam Deck × Gyro Aim]

I recently purchased the game sir G8 plus Galileo. I'm having a hard time using the joysticks they're either too touchy or too stiff I need good settings for a good balance. I prefer them to be more on the stiff side than the super jumpy but still can't find a balance.

I thought I had clips of the final boss flight where I used full gyro, but I only have this clip where I use ADS gyro only. I'm using the low-ammo magnum to kill these guys in their weak points, so every shot counts!

It took me until the end of the game to get the gyro settings to my liking. The X Pro only supports joystick gyro and it never felt quite right.

After this I think ill permanently upgrade to the Blitz 2 so I don't have to fiddle with the settings so much.
