I have a Switch, Steam Deck, PS4, and Steam Controller all with gyro controls. I have used gyro controls in a few games but every time I do it feels odd and I never quite get the hang of it. I keep hearing that gyro controls are really great for precision in shooters but I feel like I just can’t quite get the hang of it.

I’m a long time PC and console gamer so it kind of frustrates me that I can’t seem to get the hang of it. What are some recommendations for getting better at using gyro controls?

    Thanks for the tips. I don’t think I ever truly tried to customize my steam controller in that way. I’ll give it a try. I know with a mouse I’m pretty sensitive to sensitivity differences so keeping a consistent setting makes a lot of sense for maintaining learned muscle memory.

      Yeah, when you find a gyro sensitivity you like try the rotation approach to find a general idea of what the sensitivity you like is. Really helps reduce the time blindly fiddling around with the gyro trying to get it to feel right like it did in a game before that.
