I’ve heard a lot of people praising the gryo which makes me think perhaps I’m using it wrong or something. Not sure if I’m supposed to do this but I find myself using both the analogue stick and the gyro at the same time but the gyro will fight with the stick input because of small movements of the deck. Maybe I’m just too used to the analogue stick but when using gyro I find myself having to rotate my torso around after a couple seconds when I want my character to turn in an fps which just makes playing games uncomfortable.

This might sound like a silly question but, is there a method to using it? Like, step by step what are your thumb and hands doing when playing an fps game? Or is there a way to comfortably use both the stick and the gyro for mouse?

I can definitely imagine the gyro being better than the stick because I can feel the difference in how much freedom I have with it, it’s just that if I use it for more than 2 seconds, it just starts to feel a little awkward and uncomfortable.

    I wouldn’t use joystick + gyro, mixing vector input with absolute input is janky af. Trackpad + gyro? Works brilliantly.

    You can make it work but you’ll want to do one of these things:

    • learn flickstick, this turns joystick into a direct mapping of joystick angle to character angle. works better than traditional joystick for use with gyro
    • activate gyro on a button hold like left trigger (usually aim down sights in FPS). In this approach what you’re essentially doing is either using joystick or gyro depending on whether you’re just moving around or deliberately aiming.

    Also if you are going with the general joystick + gyro always on method make sure gyro is setup to deactivate when your thumb is off the joystick. This gives you a way to reset the origin point of the gyro.

    If the small movements of the deck are moving around your aim too much unintentionally just lower the sensitivity of gyro, and try out trigger damping, this will semi deactivate the gyro during trigger press, because a trigger press is usually the biggest cause of sudden unintentional gyro movement.
