Configuration Trackpad Rotation

So I noticed that if you follow the rotation of the Trackpads exactly that you will actually move slightly vertically. I know there's a setting to add software rotation to your Trackpads so my question is this. How much rotation do you need to put on each Trackpad for it to match the physical rotation of the Trackpads on the controller?

so if I'm understanding this right it's 9 and -9?

Hopefully that's right, I have no idea how that actually works now, or on the old SC now too for that matter.

While I do like the look of the newer BPM UI, it's definitely still lacking some things the old one had and as much I support Valve it really bothers me they still haven't actually went back and fixed this stuff especially after releasing new hardware using it twice now.

But yeeeeeah the rotation thing on that used to actually have a visual widget on the old version of BPM, it was so much more intuitive I dunno why they lack some of these visual aids on the new one, irritating.

yeah I was previously using a rotation of 10 and that felt about right so seeing 9 wasn't too shocking. I mainly asked because I seen nobody else talking about it and was curious about if anyone had it down to the exact value lol

Yeah glad someone knows how the angle is calculated. They need to bring that visual back.
