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?
What Switch games?
What sort of control schemes have you used outside of Switch, activate on touchpad, capacitive stick, left trigger, or instead leave gyro always on but with an off button?
How much sensitivity, measured in how many camera rotations you do per controller rotation?
Mostly Metroid Prime, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom. I found I will accidentally move the aim with gyro controls when manually aiming with stick and it threw me off enough that I turned it off in Metroid.
I haven’t played around with customizing gyro controls much on steam controller or the deck so I can’t quite say what I’ve used for those. I imagine whatever default settings were. I attempted playing Portal on steam deck with the default gyro controls and ended up turning them off as well.
