If you get any drifting using gyro aiming, try calibrating the Steam Deck’s gyro. (tom’s guide article on how to do this)We’ll keep an eye on Steam Deck and see if there is anything we can do to help make it even better going forward.There are some other issues we'll be ...
This means both the thumbsticks and the gyros are active at the same time, so I found myself making movements I didn't intend to make. That being said, adjusting the settings to either thumbstick or gyro control shows off how well they work. If you're a fan of gyro aiming, you're...
I'm never going to hit mouse-caliber time trial scores in Lovely Planet Arcade on the Deck, but I found playing it with a combination of trackpad and gyro aiming surprisingly fun. Deep Rock Galactic runs at a nice 60 fps on the Deck, with the only issue being tiny text in a few ...
But when I revisited the game in December, I found another Steam Deck user had done 95 percent of the work for me. They’d uploaded a custom control scheme that felt amazing with gyro aiming, paddles to quickly lean and dodge (helpful forJuliana invasions), plus a right-touchpad mouse cu...
allowing for some fancy software controller configurations that can activate certain layers of control when your thumbs are resting on the thumbsticks as opposed to being off them. The ability to activate gyro-assisted aiming while your thumb is on the right stick, for example, is a small but...
The Steam Deck has some unconventional controls. Will Valve will be encouraging developers to integrate gyro and trackpad aiming into their control schemes instead of sticking with the more traditional layout? This depends on what your game is and what sort of controls you're aiming for. But we...
That being said, there was a time when Steam made it possible for you to turn off gyro on Steam Deck for all games. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case, as you can only turn off gyro on a per-game basis. Hopefully, we’ll see the universal setting return to the Steam Deck ...
Trackpads on either side of the screen can function as mouse input, while four grip buttons on the backside of the Steam Deck can be freely remapped. Both analog sticks also feature capacitive touch, something I accidentally discovered when testing Dark Souls III and noticing that the gyro ...
One month and many updates later, has anything changed with Valve’s Steam Deck handheld gaming PC? We’re answering every question we can think of in this FAQ, and we’ll answer more if you have them.
The main highlight is getting to try out gyroscopic aiming, which allows you to tilt the Steam Deck to move the view around. While it takes some getting used to, I found gyro-aiming to be far superior to just sticks; but still not as good as a mouse. Gyroscopic aiming can be ...
