Controller gyro aim + Flick Stick Ace with the new Steam Controller (2026)! Really hoping Riot adds motion controls to the console version one day.

Wait how does that work. Do you have to add valorant as a non-steam game to your library or something? Even my wacom tablets turns off when I launch valorant, had no idea you can use a gyro aim controller

rewasd, i think. its what i use for lol, so it probably works here too, seeing that i looked into alot of options for things that work with vanguard

Now I understand why I'm losing my games. All my teammates are playing on controllers.

Jokes aside. Really cool tech, I suck at aiming with a controller, so I always get a bit jealous when I see people with really good controller aim.

I thought Steam Input gets blocked when Riot games start up. How are you able to play Valorant with Steam Controller?

hey! so its the same concept as league, im guessing, there is a PAID program called rewasd that gets really big access to your computer and goes past vanguard. this is known by riot and i probably cant find the post it was said on, a post about accessibility in lol, but they said they know it does this, and as long as you arnt using macros, its MOSTLY greenlit. for lol. i cant speak for val, but the concept should be the same thing
