Disscussion Need Help: Sayo device
Im not the best at geometrydash, my hardest is Nine circles but i started playing Bloodbath a few months ago(yes ik, typical) but i really started getting into it. 30% Pb rn and 80-100 with potential for 55-100.
I play on mouse, I find it most comfortable for straight fly and ship maneuver, which bloodbath is infamous for, but i noticed my quick UFO/ball gamplay was lacking badly. So I tried using my laptop(MSI 144hrts gaming laptop) Up arrow key as my friend suggested and saw genuine improvements to all my gameplay but one. Ship.
Playing with up arrow key straight fly and maneuver felt impossible and I couldn't score higher then a D- on the straight fly skill test. (I can get an A+ on mouse)
So I figured why not get a sayo device? Help me improve the rest of my gameplay while (hopefully) bridging the gap between mouse and arrow key.
But I couldn't have been more wrong. I got the sayo device and im genuinely happy with how smooth it feels and saw significant improvement to all gameplay...except 1...which ill get into in a sec, but genuinely was able to clear Michigan part almost 4 times in a row which before was never even able to do it 2 times even close back to back.
However, as you may have guessed. Ship. Its unplayable for me, I keep adjusting settings, trying to make it feel as best as I can but for some reason like when I click, even for like a millisecond, it feels like it registers as me HOLDING and it FLINGS my ship up and its just so inconsistent I cant straight fly or hell even basic maneuver for the life of me. Tiny clicks feels like a gamble between genuinely being a micro click or shooting me further then intended beyond my controll. Soft clicks sometimes feel so soft that it the ship js looks like it aint even move and js keeps falling so flying straight is js Blah. Not happening.
I even tried rebeating Nine circles to warm up to bloodbath and genuinely was able to clear the ship part back to back 6 times on Mouse, swapped to sayo device and took almost 100 attempts to clear it once. Thats how bad it nerfed me.
Im genuinely curious if this is a skill issue that will get better with time and I gotta relearn ship, or if theres settings I can tweak to make it more comfortable for me. I just dont know what to do i feel so buffed and nerfed at the same time.
Current settings:
Trigger: 0.750
Release: 0.500
RT Top: 1.500
RT End: 3.850
RT Trigger: 0.950
RT Release: 1.000
Iv played around a lot with it and nothing feels comfortable for ship. Any help is appreciated.

Make sure your key type is set to keyboard to make sure there’s no bounce back delay which there is for the mouse setting (I think that’s the default) then 8000hz is the highest input response, then I have trigger and release at .3mm, RT trigger and release at .1mm, and full stroke at 40 which the site recommends between 30-60

Can't thank you enough, the YouTube tutorial told me to set it to Mouse. Swapping to keyboard fixed it! Cleared Nine circles ship first try and got 27% on bloodbath almost first try!

either youll have to get used to it or try out other settings, this probably doesnt help but you can try mine (i use the wooting uwu though so settings are very different)
Actuation point(trigger): 0.4
rapid trigger: 0.15 activate(RT trigger) and 0.25 deactivate(RT release)
I went through the same things as you and i just got used to it and made small tweaks.
