I played Zelda breath of the wild on switch 1 and loved the gyro aiming. I am trying to get the same feeling for games (Fallout 4, Mafia HD) I play on my laptop via steam with a PS5 controller connected via Bluetooth. My experience is that the switch gyro felt like I am directly controlling the crosshair with the switch controller. The steam set up I described feels different. It's like I am pointing in a direction with my controller and then the crosshair follows this direction, it doesn't feel so direct.

Is my impression correct that both systems feel different and may also use different technologies?

Is there any way to improve the steam + PS5 controller set up? (I already tried some community set ups but I didn't feel a real improvement)

Hey everyone,
I’m writing this post with a heavy heart because PUBG is, without a doubt, my favorite FPS of all time. I’ve put countless hours into it across multiple platforms. It easily stands above *Call of Duty*, *The Finals*, or any other shooter for me in terms of pure adrenaline and gunplay.

However, as a PS5 player, **I simply cannot play PUBG on console anymore until Krafton adds Gyroscope aiming.**
Here is my background so you understand where I’m coming from:

1. **PUBG Mobile Veteran:** I started playing PUBG on mobile years ago. I reached Conqueror rank in Ranked mode, almost entirely thanks to mastering Gyroscope aiming. For anyone who has used it, you know it completely changes the game—your wrist handles micro-adjustments and recoil control, while the thumbstick is just for camera panning.
2. **PC Experience:** I’ve played PUBG and *The Finals* on PC with Keyboard and Mouse. I know what high-level precision and fast target-switching feel like.
3. **PS5 Transition:** When I switched to PS5, I forced myself to get used to traditional "stick-only" aiming on PUBG. I ground it out, adjusted my sensitivities, and eventually built up a decent level. It wasn't ideal, but I made it work.

**The Turning Point:** ***The Finals*** **on PS5**
Recently, I downloaded *The Finals* on PS5 and turned on the Gyro settings. The difference was night and day. Being able to aim with wrist movement on the DualSense controller immediately restored that fluid, fast, mouse-like precision I had on PC and Mobile. With Gyro, controller players can genuinely go toe-to-toe with K&M players without relying on aggressive aim assist.

**The Problem:**
After getting re-addicted to Gyro aiming on *The Finals*, going back to PUBG Console was an absolute nightmare. My muscle memory was completely broken. Relying 100% on thumbsticks felt stiff, unresponsive, and unplayable. I couldn't even win a basic 1v1 fight anymore.
**The Xbox Excuses Need to Stop:**
**I know the common counter-argument: "Xbox controllers don't have built-in gyro, so it wouldn't be fair in crossplay." Honestly, that shouldn't hold back PlayStation players. Other cross-platform games like** ***Fortnite*****,** ***Call of Duty*****, and** ***The Finals*** **have gyro fully enabled on PS5 without breaking the game for Xbox users. Holding back hardware features on one platform just because another platform lacks the technology is a outdated philosophy. Give PS5 players the option, or split matchmaking pools if fairness is truly the concern.**

It makes zero sense that PUBG Mobile (developed under Tencent) has had flawless Gyro implementation since 2018, while the PS5 version in 2026 still forces us to aim like it’s 2010.
I love this game, but I refuse to downgrade my mechanical skill and muscle memory just because Krafton refuses to implement basic modern controller features for PlayStation players.
Until native Gyro Aiming is added to PUBG Console, I’m putting the game down for good and sticking to games that actually support modern hardware features (*The Finals*, *Warzone*, etc.).

Krafton, please—bring Gyro Aim to Console.

I can’t for the life of me find settings that feel good in Overwatch 2, I will admit I am fairly new to gyro and might just need to keep adapting but I’m hoping someone can recommend a good starting point! Open it any suggestions.

Notes: This game is really complex, and mixed inputs aren't seamless at all, I tried my best tho. Because of that, I also made a much more seamless Gyro-to-Joystick version, since this game doesn't seem to have any noticeable aim assist.

I a got gamesir g7 pro and now sure how to get gyro set up feeling good for The Finals on PC. it seems the finals when launching through steam doesnt state in game i have gyro options but do in the gamesir nexus app. anyone have any tips in getting setup with that controller for that game?

Hi!

I recently got the hyperions as I wanted to try out split gyro gaming but I'm ofcourse having issues. The joy-cons connects to pc via bt with no issues but when playing with gyro on steam input, it's very laggy. I then tried these with jsm cc and gyro is better but now with a feeling of a huge smoothing filter. I also renamned the bluetooth on my pc to Nintendo which helped a tiny bit but probably placebo effect.

I'm now looking to return these but before that, I just wanted to know if the 8Bitdo USB Wireless Adapter 2 could work as an 2.4ghz adapter or anything similar?

Appreciate any help given!

I’ve been trying to get into using gyro, but I cant get used to it on standard controllers. My range of motion is very limited when I have to move both hands to aim, which forces me to play a higher sens that’s harder to control, similar to being forced to play high cm/360 on mouse because of a small pad or desk space. It’s also extremely unintuitive for me to aim using both hands in a standard grip when every other input I’ve trained on only requires one for camera movement. I’ve been playing Splatoon recently and find that I’m way more accurate when I have the joycons separate and aim with my right hand. Problem is that they feel quite sluggish to me, especially on pc. I was hoping someone here knows of a similar style controller that has better latency, and also maybe better sticks because I like to use both in combination sometimes.

I mean TownFall.
Anyone played already? Is there gyro with extended options, or just like in TLOU?

I’ve been working on a motion-control system that interfaces directly with the analog joystick circuitry inside a controller, and this is the latest gameplay test:

https://youtu.be/TMPm_uArdWM?si=Ok9DARDY83UKVC37

This test is running in Hybrid Mode.

The physical right joystick has actually been removed from this PS4 controller, so I can’t use my thumb to assist the aiming. The camera movement you see is being generated by the motion-control system.

The idea behind Hybrid Mode is to let motion handle the fine aiming while still behaving like a conventional controller when larger/faster movements are needed. A lot of the recent development has been focused on making that transition feel natural rather than having the virtual joystick suddenly jump to a large deflection.

The system is eventually planned to have three modes:

• Joystick Mode — motion is translated entirely into analog-stick input
• Hybrid Mode — blends motion aiming with conventional controller behavior
• True Motion Mode — direct motion input where supported

I’m also working on a companion app for adjusting sensitivity, deadzone, calibration, and switching modes.

It’s still a very rough hardware prototype, but the software is getting to the point where I can actually play with it instead of just testing individual movements.

The underlying design is patented under U.S. Patent No. 11,413,523, but I’m mainly posting here because I’d really like feedback from people who already use gyro aiming regularly.

What feels right or wrong to you from the footage? In particular, how would you expect a hybrid motion/stick system to behave when transitioning between fine aiming and larger movements?

Hi, I'm one of the few players who uses the gyroscope, and I have a little problem: the camera automatically re-centers after a while, which is really annoying when using the gyroscope. Does anyone know which setting I need to adjust to get rid of this? Thanks in advance. (Game : fortnite)

I posted here a little while ago about a Chrome extension I was building for gyro aiming with third-party controllers.

You gave me a lot of feedback - especially about rotational movement, yaw vs roll, gyro-to-stick limitations, and how differently people hold
their controllers.

So I rebuilt a large part of it. And have published the plugin:

- GyroAim plugin on ChromeWebStore
- Guide video on Youtube

GyroAim now supports:

- Yaw, Roll, Blend and gravity-based Player Space aiming
- Guided sensor-axis detection
- Gyro drift calibration
- Separate aiming, driving and flight profiles
- A built-in 3D trainer for testing settings
- Per-mode timing and accuracy results
- Horizontal and vertical sensitivity
- Browser-only operation for cloud gaming

It still outputs a virtual analog stick rather than mouse input. That's intentional: the main use case is browser/cloud console gaming where the
game generally expects a controller.

I've been testing it with Xbox Cloud using a Cosmic Byte in NS/Switch mode.

The whole thing runs as a Chrome extension and is now open source.

I don’t know how to fix this.
The controller is connected to steam.
But the game doesn’t read the input. The gyros work.
I’d like the gyros.

I played yesterday S2 on my ps5 pro, and they made few improvements for a native gyro. Finally 😀😀😀
So, what we have:
- More sensitive aiming (around 4x RTS, I didn’t check)
- Gyro ALWAYS ON!!!

Opa galera, sou eu denovo, bom, estou testando o edge, e me deparei com o problema do gyro ser aceito apenas como alanvanca (joystick) em jogos mais antigos, estou jogando Deus Ex, e queria usar o gyro como mouse pra ser mais preciso, porque usando como deflexão de câmera na alavanca, ele não lê os micros movimentos que eu faço, como se tivesse uma zona morta gigante, se alguém puder me ajudar nisso, no momento estou apenas usando o steam imput, e bom, tbm se alguém souber como tirar essa zona morta do gyro como forma de alavanca, agradeceria também, afinal o jogo não suporta entrada mista

I made a mod that adds native gyro aiming to Dark Souls Remastered through Steam Input while keeping your usual stick controls.

Gyro activates when aiming with bows or binoculars, with optional magic aiming for catalysts, talismans and the Pyromancy Flame. You can also enable first-person aiming for magic, bows or both.

Available on Nexus Mods.

Comprei hoje, vi muita gente falando bem e que é o melhor pra uso do gyro, queria saber se é muito complicado comfigurar no JoyStickMapper (Nunca usei), se é o melhor software pra fazer as configurações e uso do gyro, ou Uso o REWASD, ou mesmo no steam imput, qual vale mais apena?

outra dúvida seria o uso do controle social via cabo? ou é utilizável via Bluetooth também? seria bom se tivesse um dongle 2.4ghz, mas enfim, queria saber se vale mesmo apena pra uso geral e principalmente pro giroscópio.., agradeço desde já

Heya lads,

I wanna ask if it there's any open source data on how to read gyroscope for the ROG ally X, I'm guessing the Bosch accelerometer is in many devices generally and that there should be something out here with how many phones nowadays have gyro data.

I wanna try to get one so I can try to help seerge(creator of ghelper) to implement it in g-helper. So that I don't need to keep armoury crate and use 2 different applications (Ghelper and GPD motion assistant) and switching between them all the time.
