How about playing a shooter from a full driving rig?

Gyro aim really helps with shooting on controllers :3 I can't play games without setting that up these days
I have tried so many times, I just can't get used to it.
Yeah it took me a couple of weeks and basically trying a bunch of options to get used to it.. as well as playing multiple games with pretty different mechanics so I could essentially practice for all of them. Though now I have the opposite issue where I can't get used to analog stick aim lol.. which isn't a major issue for me as I don't own any systems where I'd have to deal with it, but it does have some sort of irony about it :3
Fiiiine, I'll try again!
I love the Valve hardware stuff with touch sensitive sticks and trackpads. Deactivating gyro when lifting your thumb just feels so natural! Other manufacturers should at least implement this for the sticks
Im still waiting for my steam controller :((( cries in 2027 queue
I do want to try out the capacitive sticks and grips tho
Takes some practice if you've never used them and you have to fiddle with the config quite a bit. But it's so worth it once it clicks! First thing I do with a new game is take 10 minutes to set up gyro aiming to my liking.
10 minutes is quicker than I usually do it lol
I usually spend a while messing around with all the controls to get them perfect =w= like 15-30 minutes.. and then usually mess around with it more a few hours in
But yeah, I usually use gyro always on, with suppress gyro on the square button, so.. im curious how it would be with the capacitive set up, or if I'd like it at all :3
Oh well, if you're already familiar with steams controller config and gyro, I think you'll like it a lot!
Yeah, I put a lot of hours into learning all the ins and outs of steam input at this point :3, I've been playing with gyro for a couple of years lol. Honestly I had some games where I had more fun setting up my controller configs than actually playing
But at this point im just constantly checking for the email from steam so I can try out all the new cool features of the steam controller, even if I know my order is not gonna be ready any time soon =w=
I'm sure you won't have to wait much longer. The wait is worth it!
Yes, I very much agree, I was shocked how good gyro flicking with a sniper felt on Splatoon
I've not played splatoon, but I know a lot of players there use gyro :3.. and nintendo in general is more gyro forward than playstation (and xbox is not even in the convo lol). I play on PC these days cause it's nice being able to set up my controller how I want with third party input remappers, feels a lot less limited :3
Played Death Stranding 2 like that and it was a godsend. I really wish more controllers than just Joycons and DualSense would have good motion sensing.
There's a lot of controllers I see people using for gyro :3 gamesir and 8bitdo ones seem popular, and there's also the inputlabs ones.. oh and the steam controller of course, as well as the switch pro controller since you mentioned just the joycons :3
I mean, I've not tried any of them (including joycons and the dual sense, I have a dualshock 4 lol) so I can't say how the gyro on them is, but those are the ones I see people use, so they're at least decent I imagine
Oh nice, looks like i have a few more to check out then
