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.

    Yes, I love using the gyro with the pro controller on docked Switch, for Splatoon typically. It’s great to complement the stick with small precise movements. Stick for the big camera movement, gyro for the small aim adjustments.

    However I never got used to gyro in handheld mode, whether on Switch or Steam Deck. Having to move the whole device with the screen just doesn’t work for me.
